Wednesday the 12th of February at 7pm saw the community meeting of Milnshaw Residents Association take place at Banbury Close Community centre. Despite the poor weather conditions, the hardy, Milnshaw estate residents were given a presentation by Lancashire County Council Disabled Champion along with a ward update from local Milnshaw Councillor Paul Cox.
During the meeting, Disabled Champion, County Councillor Molineux spoke about his role at county Hall and gave the community group a brief description of the work County Council does to support disabled residents. This was followed by a short Q&A session.
Councillor Cox told the group that following a successful meeting with LCC highways department ,and work done by both Milnshaw Councillors, improvements to the footpaths around the estate were now underway. He also spoke about the £100,000 that has been committed by the labour led authority to repair and renew Milnshaw Park footpaths.
Chair of the meeting, Mr Unwin, informed the meeting that a special AGM will be taking place on the 11th of March 2014 with a view to appoint a new committee. He urged residents to come forward stating that “a little work is hugely repaid by being part of this organisation”
Cllr Cox added “things are really starting to move forward in Milnshaw, the footpaths, the Park and now an active community centre. Just because a couple of individuals step away it would be a shame to let these things fall away. However I will always work for my community so the Residents Association can always count on my support”
