Which recycling "team" will you be on - boxes and bags, or bins?

We're improving the way we collect recyclable rubbish - a leaflet explaining the changes is being delivered to every house in the borough telling people about the improvements being made to our recycling collection service.

They will be coming through your letterbox shortly giving details about the new ways we will be collecting recyclable materials.

Plans to transform Burnley into a university town are fast taking shape as work on new student accommodation changes the town centre skyline.

A lattice of steelwork is being created next to Sandygate Square which will provide the foundation for a 136-bed building with car parking to provide high-quality student accommodation. On the ground floor there will be units available for shops, cafes or offices.

Burnley Leisure has announced the launch of its new "bistro" dining experience in the tranquil surroundings of Towneley estate and golf club.

Bistro 197 has relocated to the golf clubhouse from its former premises just across the road from the Todmorden Road entrance to the golf course, into a larger venue and offering a new menu.

A series of additional electric vehicles charging points are set to be installed in Burnley borough.

Burnley Council and five other local authorities across Lancashire submitted a successful bid for Government funding that could see four rapid charging points installed in each area.

Potential sites on council-owned car parks have been identified and are currently being evaluated by Electricity North West.

A further 80 long-term vacant and run-down properties across the borough are set to have new life put back into them this year thanks to Burnley Council’s empty homes programme.

The programme sees properties that have been left empty for many years and which often attract anti-social behaviour acquired by the council, renovated and then sold on with the proceeds being put back into the scheme to tackle more empty homes.
