RIBBLE Valley residents have been invited to create a neighbourhood plan for their community.

Bolton-by-Bowland, Gisburn Forest and Sawley Parish Council wants the two wards of Bolton-by-Bowland and Gisburn Forest designated as a ‘neighbourhood area’. Sawley is not included in the proposal.

The government has given communities powers to draw up neighbourhood plans influencing the future of where they live or work.
