LANCASHIRE County Council is hosting a local meeting to allow people to play their part in the consultation on the future of residential and day care services for older people.

The District Liaison Committees follow other public consultation events and will give further local opportunity to take part in the debate with county councillors, district and parish councillors, and representatives from local voluntary organisations.

County Councillor Chris Cheetham said: "These events form part of the consultation process and are another way in which we are listening to the views of Lancashire residents.

We are serious about our intention to listen to all views and suggestions and this is an opportunity for those who have not yet been involved to play their part.

"Our intention is to listen and answer any questions.

I urge anyone who has an opinion or suggestion to come along to the meetings."

The local meeting will be at Lancaster Town Hall, March 20, at 3.00pm.
