00:00I'm Peter Brickliffe, I'm the Lancashire County Councillor for Oswald Whistle.
00:06Q. So Peter, what kind of words do you have at the moment to offer Jay and his family during this time?
00:12Oh, it's really dreadfully upsetting, isn't it?
00:16And, you know, you can only pray that he's returned safely.
00:22Q. What kind of impact has it had on the community, can you feel?
00:26Well, it's a very close-knit community that we have here in Oswald Whistle,
00:30and it's impacting on a lot of people,
00:34and a lot of people are expressing their good wishes for his safe return on Facebook and social medias.
00:42Q. Yeah, I've been speaking to people in and around the area,
00:46and obviously you mentioned the Facebook group,
00:48do you think something like this just shows how close-knit a community Oswald Whistle is,
00:52and they band together for something like this?
00:54Yeah, I mean, I've represented this town for something like 40 years,
01:02and we are a very close-knit community,
01:06and when one of us is kicked, we all limp.
