Annual electoral canvass begins
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.
With borough, county and Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner elections taking place across the borough of Burnley in May 2021, this is an important opportunity for residents to make sure they can take part.
Consultation launched as council reviews its licensing policy
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.
Council Tops up Government Support for Market Traders
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.
Improvements to town centre "gateway" to go ahead
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 leading the way to the “New Normal”
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.
Burnley's youngster Mayor takes office
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.
Residents being urged to pray at home during religious festivals
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.
Appeal for vital protective equipment for health staff
An appeal has gone out to businesses and other organisations for essential personal protective equipment for staff at doctors’ surgeries fighting the coronavirus epidemic.
Local GPs Dr Yasara Naheed and Dr James Fleming say staff working at surgeries and care homes across Burnley borough need essential equipment such as masks, gowns and gloves – and she is hoping that local businesses, schools and colleges may be able to help.
Burnley Council issues its first Business Support Grants today
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.
