A WARM WELCOME
We offer very warm welcome to all the newcomers to Affetside. Amongst those new to the village are Rebecca and her team at the Pack Horse Inn. Judging by how busy our local pub has become, this has been a very successful refurbishment. So if you haven’t popped into the Pack Horse since the alterations, do take a look. It’s a massive transformation and a great place to warm you up on a cold night!
The pub has it's own website and can be accessed by clicking here
AFFETSIDE SOCIETY MEETING AT THE PACK
The Affetside Society AGM will be held at The Pack Horse Inn on Tuesday 11th March at 7.30pm in the Pack Horse. Do come along to discuss anything concerning the village and input into the planning for all the events for the forthcoming year. EVERYONE is most welcome.
POLICE AND THE COMMUNITY
The local police force hold regular meetings to liaise closely with the community. All local residents are welcome to attend the meeting, so if you have any concerns relating to crime or antisocial behaviour in the area, please go along to the next meeting. The next PACT (Police and Community Team) meeting will be held above the Tottington Library on Tuesday 18th March from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm.
TURBINE UPDATE
The applicant at Birches Farm has withdrawn from his appeal so he can focus on a new, even larger wind turbine. The application will be heard by Bolton’s Planning Committee in Bolton Town Hall on 6th March at 2 pm. If this application gets the go-ahead it will set a precedent and more applications are bound to follow. So, if you are unhappy about the prospect of turbines in and near to Affetside please go along to the meeting. Although there is not an opportunity to speak, the committee will be able to see that you are not happy with the increasing number of applications in this area.
