Saturday 20th March saw Ken Moss and Cllr Harry Grayson canvassing in rather damp conditions, resulting in a midday pit-stop at The Centre in Rishton. A special coffee morning is held there twice-yearly to raise funds for the upkeep of The Centre, which is owned by the residents. An Easter theme was running throughout the day and Ken Moss was asked to judge a bonnet competition. Cllr Grayson got into the spirit of things by donning a hat and joining the parade! The event raised a total of £382 for The Centre.
Ken Moss and Harry Grayson are canvassing daily in Rishton, with some occasional much-valued assistance from Graham Jones and members of the Labour group. Several issues have been raised around the village while canvassing and these have now been reported to the relevant departments:
Westwood Avenue – severely cracked paving slabs and lack of litter-picking
Church Street – double-yellow lines required at top of street
Spring Street – overhanging planks from roof of derelict terraced house
Grasmere Close – speed humps requested
Ullswater Close – problems with game hunters shooting Canadian geese
Ullswater Close – horse fouling from improper use of footpath as a bridleway
Other queries have also now been answered, including eight requests for postal vote forms and confusion over the tax-banding of a house on Westwood Avenue.
All residents in Rishton are invited to get in touch if they require help or advice by contacting Ken Moss on 01254 882797 or Councillor Harry Grayson on 01254 889438.
