Councillor Alan Neal has been invited to serve as President of the Lancashire Association of Local Councils (LALC), which represents around two hundred town and parish councils across the county.
Councillor Neal has been a member of the LALC Executive Committee since 1987 and has served in a number of leadership roles during that time, reflecting his long-standing commitment to local government and to the communities it serves.
His appointment as President follows many years of involvement with LALC, including time as both Vice Chair and Chair, two periods as the Lancashire Delegate to the National Association of Local Councils, and a decade as Vice President. Being invited by his peers to take on the presidency marks a significant moment in his long public service career.
Councillor Neal said: “To be invited to serve as President of LALC is both an honour and a privilege. I have worked alongside town and parish councillors from across Lancashire for many years, and to have their confidence and support means a great deal. Local councils play a vital role in representing and strengthening their communities, and I am committed to supporting them in this role.”
Councillor Neal has represented Whitworth since 1987 and has served on Rossendale Borough Council since 1988. His decades of service demonstrate his consistent dedication to his community and to local democracy across Lancashire.
Rossendale Borough Council congratulates Councillor Neal on his appointment and thanks him for his continued service to residents and councils throughout the borough and beyond.
