CHORLEY council house tenants are taking part in what is being described as one of the most "extensive and important" consultation exercise ever run in the borough.

They are being given the chance to have their say, not just on their homes, but also their long-term future.

A series of public meetings is being held, starting on Tuesday and tenants are being asked to write in with their views or telephone housing services staff.

Councillor Terry Brown said: "We want to ensure that our tenants and their representatives have as much opportunity as possible to be part of this process."

Details of the consultation meetings are available on 01257 515504.
