West Lancashire Borough Council wants you to contribute towards delivering improvements that can benefit the residents of West Lancashire.
The Council is inviting you to submit topic suggestions for consideration for inclusion in their work programme for 2018/19. Through its work the Committee will bring forward appropriate recommendations to Cabinet and Council which can influence future decisions on policy and important decisions the Council may make.
Topics can cover any area of the Borough Council’s work and in some cases the work of partner organisations that might have significance for the local community in West Lancashire. The reviews carried out by the Committee provide a valuable insight into issues facing local communities and can assist the work of the Council. This can lead to significant improvements for residents.
Reviews in previous years have covered a wide range of topics including; Cycling in West Lancashire; Healthy Schools; Alcohol and Associated Problems; Speeding Traffic; Climate Change; Affordable Housing; Neighbourhood Management; Older Peoples’ Services and more recently West Lancashire Tourism – The Visitor Economy, to name but a few.
If you have a suggestion that you think might be suitable then please let us know. Email your ideas to [email protected] or call 01695 585016. The deadline for topic suggestions for the work programme is Monday 3 September 2018.
