Yes and no.
The Rishton one is broadly similar to the Oswaldtwistle one but there were certain slight variances which I was quite keen on and they will be included in future at our meetings. The Area Managers vary from ward to ward and so although the programme has a general format, no two meetings are likely to be the same.
It was also useful to see what items are included in other wards, the police one on crime prevention being a prime example of something that would go down well here. Cllr Grayson and myself therefore requested that the same item be scheduled for November in Rishton and we will have five minutes apiece going through the projects that each of us have had the biggest hand in.
There seems to be some resistance to the idea but it struck me as a good way of actually showing people what councillors do for the community.
