Prince Charles celebrates a landmark birthday this year and the Mayor of West Lancashire is hosting a special celebration of this occasion.

The Prince turns 70 on 14 November and Councillor Noel Delaney is inviting West Lancashire residents who are also 70 in 2018 to an afternoon tea in the Mayor's Room in the Council offices on 14 November.

Places are limited for this special event and will be awarded on a first come first served basis. If you live in West Lancashire and are 70 this year, or have a relative who lives in West Lancashire who is 70 this year, contact Jill Ryan at the Council on 01695 585017 or email jill.ryan@westlancs.gov.uk as soon as you can or you may not be able to book a spot.

Councillor Delaney said: "Don't delay! Contact us now or you may miss out on this chance to celebrate Prince Charles' 70th birthday."

Sorry I think we can put our council tax to much better use for all local residents, green bins, pot holes to mention just a few did anyone ask local west lancs council tax payers their opinions before deciding on this .I am psure Charles will have a good day anyway.

Is it me?!!
