Hi folks, I mentioned a few weeks ago that a new Lancashire County Council initiative called "Civic Pride" was about to be created, I just wanted to announce that Cllr Ella Worthington representing Skelmersdale West is the new LCC Cabinet Member for Civic Pride.
Hopefully soon we'll get some joined up action improving the whole of Skem.

Hi folks, Civic Pride?
Over the coming months there will be a lot of conversation at Lancashire County Council regarding Civic Pride - primarily being pushed by Cllr Ella Worthington because she wants a change in how both WLBC and LCC manage the Public Realm. It's too disjointed and areas of responsibilities can be lost.
Living in Skem we have all seen unkempt areas, they are everywhere and I know readers of this will, with all good intentions tell me to have a look here and there. I have no problems in doing that but we need to come up with a better way.
I am thinking of turning CleanUp Skem into a CIC and actually taking on the work ourselves, employing and training people. I know LCC would be receptive to the idea but I would genuinely like to here your ideas and thoughts.

Hi folks, I've had loads of requests for putting flags up around Skem. Some have been out and bought them and don't have the means to put them up, but most people just want them up, so I have launched this gofundme page to raise the money to do the job properly. If you can please donate a bit and we'll see how far we can go. Thanks.

Hi, CleanUp Skem is usually connected with litter picking and organising day trips but… Aaron Body needs your support for Flags for the Skelmersdale Community
