This site is administered by both the Affetside Millennium Green Trust and the Affetside Society Summer plants on the boundary sign Stone name sign Looking down Watling Street We have three Bury MBC Councillors in our Tottington Ward, two of whom are listed below. Councillor Yvonne Susan Wright “HELLO AFFETSIDE RESIDENTS!!!   Congratulations on the launch of your village  website! You really are a community  with  commitment, and that makes me very proud to  represent you all. My work as one of your 3 Ward Councillors is  very diverse; from attending lots of Committee  Meetings in the Town Hall (see my personal webpage) to membership of various local charities. Another important aspect of my role is supporting Resident  Groups,Traders Groups and The Rural Inequalities Group (working  alongside Joanne, the Affetside Society Chairman) and hopefully  helping to improve day to day life by sorting out the issues which  affect the lives of residents in the Ward.  Believe me officers of Bury Council know that "Determination" is my  middle name and you can depend on me to always fight the Affetside corner! With my colleagues Iain and Roger we hold regular Surgeries in  Tottington Library. However, do remember if you wish to raise an issue with us, we hold public meetings several times each year in the form  of The Local Area Partnership. Residents can air their views at the  "Open Forum", which can be interesting with lively and robust debates! At present I am in the "Chair" and would extend a warm welcome to  all Affetside residents who wish to attend. Finally, I am full of admiration for your exceptional community spirit  and all the events you organise to bring the community together.   Keep up the good work and do remember I am here to support you! Councillor Iain B Gartside I find it a privilege serve the people of Affetside as their local Councillor and representative on Bury Metropolitan Borough Council.  The area is of outstanding natural beauty and has an excellent  community spirit. I have always and will continue to do  all I can to help protect that.    If any member of Affetside has any concerns or  suggestions for the good of Affetside, I am always  available to assist.  My contact details are :- 0161 797 3312 and i.b.gartside@bury.gov.uk  My personal webpage can be found here
