A "COME and see us" event at Great Lever has been declared a success.

The event was organised by the Great Lever Neighbourhood Management team at the Nightingale Community Centre off Rishton Lane.

Residents were able to learn about the neighbourhood management by talking to representatives from community and residents' groups, health, police, housing and family learning.

The Great Lever Neighbourhood Management programme started in 2001, covering about 3,500 homes.

It has proved so successful that it has now been expanded to include the rest of Great Lever and now covers a further 4,000 households.
