Church: Dates for the Church Kirk Residents' Association meetings

Church Labour Councillor Loraine Cox has been out around the Church Kirk area delivering invites to the next Church Kirk Residents Association meeting. Cllr Cox also used the opportunity to walk around the ward identifying any issues or flytippings that required reporting.

Chair of Church Kirk Residents Association, Jean Battle, said, "Councillor Loraine Cox has helped deliver many of the leaflets advertising our next meeting. Since being elected last May Loraine has worked with all the local community groups and has been a massive help to the residents of Church."

Cllr Cox added, "The residents association asked at the last meeting if I could help spread the word across our ward in promoting the group. I think it’s vitally important to get out and about. We try and arrange planned ward walks with several of the local services which includes the local Police team and Hyndburn Homes area officers but nothing beats just being out meeting residents."

The Residents Meeting is to be held at Bank St Community centre from 7.30pm, all Church Kirk residents are welcome. Or if you are unable to attend just simple get in contact with either the Chair, Mrs Battle, or the local ward Councillor Loraine Cox.

Please see above for a list of the upcoming meetings planned for this year.

Hyndburn Labour announce candidates for 2016

The Hyndburn Labour group have formally selected candidates for all 12 wards up for election in May 2016.

Group Leader, Cllr Miles Parkinson, said, "I am pleased to announce that we have had a really excellent range of people coming forward wishing to stand, from a long-standing teacher to an experienced member of staff at Calderstones. All are standing on a Labour ticket and no deals have been done with any other political group to engineer a result. We will be fighting this election on the back of years of hard work from our 25 Labour Councillors and we hope the public continue to trust us to look after Hyndburn in 2016."
