WORK has begun on a new local community plan for Radcliffe.

Area co-ordinator for the town, John Slater, has already been asking residents for their input and also plans to consult the towns business community.

The local community plan takes borough-wide themes and translates them into actions to match local priorities and make Radcliffe a better place to live. The issues are reflected in the plan through consultation and feedback through area boards .

The new plan will cover Radcliffe from 2005 to 2008, and is planned for launch in April.

For more information or to comment on the plan, contact John Slater on 253 7455 .
