Kellet Ward is a rural area with five villages and a number of smaller settlements. Farming activity is widespread and there are a number of quarries, caravan sites, rural pubs and businesses catering for leisure activities. Village Halls in each of the villages are centres for social activity and the village communities are dependent on village schools and play areas for young people. Each of the larger villages has its own village shop / post office. Councillor Roger Mace has been the representative of Kellet Ward on Lancaster City Council since 1999. Roger is a member of the Transport Steering Group of the Lancaster and Morecambe Vision Board, the Vice Chairman of the City Council's Standards Committee and a City Council representative on the Court of the University of Lancaster. He became Leader of the Conservative Group on Lancaster City Council in April 2006, and during the past twelve months, has been a member of the Fly Tipping Task Group and of the Grants Task Group. These task groups were set up by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee of the City Council to make policy recommendations, and their reports are currently in draft form. A Kellet Ward branch of the Morecambe and Lunesdale Conservative Association was formed in February 2006. Representatives from all of the villages in the ward are members of the branch committee. Enquiries about membership of the branch and about branch activities will be welcomed - see Contact Details. |
