Clayton-le-Moors PROSPECTS Panel
Clayton-le-Moors with Altham PROSPECTS Panel was established in 1996. Membership is open to any resident or any person engaged in a business with an allegiance to Clayton-le-Moors and/or Altham. The Panel's aims are to work together to undertake projects which result in improvements to the way we live as individuals and communities.
In the early days the Panel was involved in a number of projects examples being stream and woodland clean ups, a community arts project, youth cycle races and creation of a community garden. The Panel was instrumental in establishing Prosperity Recycling an environmental social business employing disadvantaged people providing high quality goods from recycled plastics (further information on the business is available on the internet at www.prosperityrecycling.org)
More recently the Panel has undertaken woodland maintenance work at the woodlands off Sparth Road including the creation of three gateway features. Together with assistance from other panels created the Millennium Baby Woodland on land next to St. Mary's burial ground off Burnley Road in Altham. Again in Altham the Panel has been successful in obtaining funds and establishing a permanent memorial to the miners who died in the Moorfield pit disaster of 1883. The Panel has worked closely with a local primary school in creating a nature garden.
If you are interested in improving your local community come along to the monthly meetings held on the last Tuesday of each month (with the exception of August and December) at the Neighbourhood Management Offices, Arthur Street, Clayton-le-Moors.
