A POPULAR Facebook forum for Rishton residents is allowing users to post updates again.

The Rishton First site was used regularly by councillors in the town to inform residents about local issues, and for locals to have their say. It was restricted after some users began using it to post abuse. A council spokesman said: “Following repeated requests to the councillors on the doorsteps, Rishton First is now open for members to post. Please do not use the forum for abusive, or personal comments.”
