Copies of the agenda and minutes for meetings of the Lancashire Local are available to view on the County Council’s website.
Public participation - Whilst the Local is not primarily about community engagement it is possible for members of the public to attend meetings of the Local and ask questions/comment on items appearing on the agenda for that meeting. The Local has also established a Protocol so that it can work with Altham Parish Council.
Grants - Each of the County Councillors on the Lancashire Local receives a small budget (£1,250) which is intended to provide grant aid to local groups, subject to approval by the Lancashire Local. The Local will also consider applications for Local Gateway Grants which offer an opportunity for Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector organisations to apply for funding in order to help deliver local and Lancashire County Council priorities.
