THE agenda for Oswaldtwistle Area Council's next meeting will include a presentation by St. Mary's Football Club on its plans for the future.

There will also be a talk on who is entitled to benefits and how they can claim them.

Councillor Peter Britcliffe, chairman of the area council, said: "St. Mary's is a local club which encourages children to play football and develop a team spirit.

"The presentation on benefits may help residents obtain more money, something we could all do with at this festive time.

" I would like to encourage as many people as possible to come along on the night."

The meeting will take place at 7pm next Tuesday (27th) at 7pm in the civic theatre.
