RAMSBOTTOM residents will get the chance to have their say at the next area board meeting in the town at Christ Church Centre, in Great Eaves Road, on February 19.

Ramsbottom and Tottington Area Board meeting begins at 7pm and the first part is a 45-minute open forum where the public can give their views and raise concerns.

Chairman of the board Coun Dorothy Gunther said: "This will be followed by a presentation on the work of the community safety warden's techno team who will be familiar to a growing number of people through the excellent work they have already carried out.

"The views of the area board and local residents will also be sought on potential locations for mini recycling sites to collect glass, paper and cans."
