Burnley Council is set to receive an extra £920,404.00 in funding, following an announcement by the Government. This will help to cover its coronavirus-related costs and will help the council provide vital services to local residents.
The Lancashire Resilience Forum (LRF) has issued guidance on restrictions around upcoming faith and community events for the remainder of 2020 due to coronavirus. The restrictions relate to upcoming events including:
• Prophet Muhammad's birthdate (28/29 October)
• Halloween (31 October)
• Bonfire celebrations (5 - 7 November)
• Remembrance Sunday (8 November)
• Diwali (14 November)
• Hanukkah (10 – 18 December)
• the switching on of Christmas lights.
Burnley residents on low incomes who need to self-isolate and are unable to work from home can now apply for the Government's self-isolation payment scheme, worth £500. To learn more about the eligibility criteria, and to apply for the payment, please visit the following site:
Parents or guardians who are not legally required to self-isolate can apply for a Test and Trace Support Payment or discretionary payment if they need to take time off work to care for a child or young person.
Burnley Council leader Mark Townsend has urged local residents not to mix with anyone outside their household or social "bubble" unless absolutely necessary as infection rates in the borough soar dramatically above the national average.
"We have to do something now before it's too late," warned Councillor Townsend.
Burnley is well into the "red zone" in terms of the numbers of positive cases of Covid-19 and the figures are rising. Cases are increasing in every part of the borough.
Councillor Mark Townsend has been elected as the new leader of Burnley Council.
The move follows the resignation of the previous leader, Councillor Charlie Briggs, who led a coalition administration.
Labour now takes control of the council, as the largest group. Its 22 seats falls one short of an overall majority on the 45-seat authority.
Burnley is one of only two areas in Lancashire to receive funding to help reduce crime and make communities safer.
The Safer Streets funding will be used in specific crime “hot spots” and will be aimed at making residents feel safer in their homes.
New CCTV networks, motion sensor lights, secure gates and doors and motorbike barriers are just some of the measures that could be implemented in parts of the Bank Hall and Burnley Wood areas.
New student accommodation that forms part of ambitious plans to turn Burnley into a university town have been officially handed over to the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan).
The 136-bed building in Sandygate provides high-quality accommodation for students attending the University of Central Lancashire’s (UCLan) facilities in the town, supported by space for common rooms, a laundry, and a study/resources room, as well as three units for use as restaurants, cafes or offices.
Councillors are set to approve a draft strategy that sets out how Burnley Council will help tackle homelessness in the borough over the next five years.
A report to the council’s executive recommends it approves the draft homelessness and rough sleeping strategy 2020-25 when the committee meets next week.
It also asks for approval to launch a six-week consultation, at a date to be agreed, to allow people and organisations to have their say before any final strategy is agreed.
The strategy is made up of three key components:
Work on a major scheme of improvements to Padiham town centre is set to on 7th September.
The programme of public realm works along Church Street will see a range of improvements aimed at making the town more attractive and safer for shoppers and visitors.
