Final chance for Burnley residents to have their say on Lancashire council shake-up
Burnley people have a final opportunity to share their views on proposals to reorganise local government across Lancashire.
The statutory consultation, launched by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, runs until March 26, 2026.
The plans would replace the current two-tier system of councils with new unitary councils responsible for delivering all local services — from schools and bin collections to planning and social care. The Government is consulting on several options for how this could work in practice.

Paper copies are also available at Burnley and Padiham libraries and at the Council’s Contact Centre on Parker Lane.
