Your Area

Everyone who lives in South Ribble has an area committee. Its job is to consider issues and make decisions that are relevant to your area.

Your area committee is made up of the borough councillors who represent your area. County councillors, parish councillors and local police officers also support the committee and its work.

Your area committee meets six times a year in a place near you - and you're invited.

At each meeting:

  • you can expect to hear an update from the police about crime, safety and anti-social behaviour in your area;
  • you should find out about any important planning applications that could change the shape of your area;
  • there's usually a round-up of issues that the police, borough council and county council are dealing with in your area;
  • discussions and debates about traffic, litter, dog fouling, parking, parks, and green spaces, streetlights, graffiti and playgrounds are common too.    

Get involved:

You can get more closely involved in helping to shape decisions that affect your area by coming to your area committee meetings; speaking to your councillors or visiting your area's web pages.
