New group to help tackle flood woes
Garstang Flood Action Group is to be launched on Monday, October 31, in the wake of floods which hit low lying parts of the town in August and December.
Between 15 and 20 properties, including Garstang’s sports and social club headquarters, were affected by the floods.

Launching the group are town councillors Joe Gilmour and Ray Hesketh.
A venue and time has yet to be confirmed for the launch meeting.
