Local residents are being warned not to lose their voice on decisions that affect them by making sure their electoral registration details are up to date.

A public consultation around Burnley Council’s policy on licensing a wide range of businesses from pubs and clubs to taxis has been launched. Under national legislation licensing authorities such as the council have to determine and publish their licensing policy every five years.
The council’s current policy covers up until Jan 2021 and so needs to be revised, updated and agreed by the authority by then.
Burnley Council’s executive has agreed a recovery package to support Burnley Market through the coronavirus pandemic.
The executive agreed a package of assistance to market traders in addition to that already provided by Government. The executive values the work of the market and its long tradition and is doing its best, despite the council's own financial difficulties, to support market traders to get the market on its feet.
Work is set to start next week on major improvements to one of the key routes into Burnley town centre.
A programme of public realm improvements will form part of a wider scheme to regenerate the lower St James Street area and make it a more attractive “gateway” into the town centre.
The highway authority Lancashire County Council is working in partnership with Burnley Council to develop new wider, high-quality footways and carriageway along lower St James Street, between Westgate and Hammerton Street.
Burnley Council has set out its response so far to the Covid-19 pandemic as it makes plans for the future.
The council has worked hard, both independently and with partners locally and across Lancashire, since the start of the outbreak to ensure essential services continue to be provided to residents.
It has also worked to manage and distribute Government support, particularly for local businesses, and communicate life-saving advice and information to local people.
Councillor Wajid and Mrs Anam Khan have taken office as Mayor and Mayoress of Burnley 2020/21.
Coun. Khan is the borough's youngster Mayor and pledged to create a "Mayor's Medal" to recognise and honour local individuals and organisations who have gone above and beyond the call of duty during the coronavirus epidemic, and after it is over.
He was also the first Mayor to be appointed via a "virtual" online Mayor-making ceremony to meet social distancing guidelines.
With Ramadan just days away, Muslim residents are being asked not to visit mosques but to continue to stay at home and pray.
In view of the current situation with the increasing numbers in Covid related deaths, restrictions remain in place for the foreseeable future. In fact, further restrictions could be imposed if the situation does not improve.
Taking this into account, with the holy month of Ramadan upon us, Imams and community leaders need to prepare the community for Ramadan in isolation.
An appeal has gone out to businesses and other organisations for essential personal protective equipment for staff at doctors’ surgeries fighting the coronavirus epidemic.

Burnley Council has today made its first payments to businesses in the borough under the Government’s Small Business Grants fund. The payments have been made today through the BACS system and will be with businesses early next week.
