Last chance for tickets to popular public
debates
Hurry to book your tickets to 2008's 'Council Meeting as an
Assembly' as they are getting snapped up quickly
The popular annual event, now in its sixth year, gives local people
the opportunity to voice their opinions on issues that affect the
area in which they live.
In accordance with the Council's commitment to rotate the venue for
the assembly around the district the meeting will be held on
Wednesday 30th January at 7.30pm at Banks Leisure Centre, Greaves
Hall Avenue, Banks and this year's two topical subjects for debate,
are: 'Ormskirk Bypass' and 'Creating a Sustainable Rural Economy',
which have been chosen because of their district-wide
importance.
Dave Guest, BBC North West's Social Affairs Correspondent, will
once again compere the event and encourage participation. Also
featured will be the Chairman's special award and exhibition
stands.
Cllr Geoff Roberts, Leader of West Lancashire District Council,
said: "Already we've had requests for tickets for the popular event
and I've a feeling that it's going to be a packed venue because the
agenda is one that will interest a wide audience. To make sure you
are guaranteed a place I'd hurry for tickets before the last ones
go! It's a chance for people to have their say on current issues
that affect the local community."
