Change starts now! Together, we're building a better future for Burnley.
Thank you for placing your trust in me to represent our community at Lancashire County Council. I am committed to working hard every day to make Burnley a better, safer, and stronger place for everyone. This is only the beginning — and I look forward to building our future, together.
I make this statement in regards to misleading and manipulative news which has been circulating online, about “banning free mixing in all public spaces”, let me be absolutley clear, I deny saying that and I do not support such a view.
During an interview, I was asked about local issues brought to my attention whilst out canvassing. I spoke specifically about one community Centre – The Chai Centre – and how it used to offer valuable services like pregnancy support groups, female-only gym sessions, and women’s wellbeing discussions. Many local women told me they’d like the female-only gym to be brought back so they can prioritise their health in a comfortable environment.
At one point, the reporter asked something along the lines of "public spaces too?" - to which i clearly said no. I made it very clear that it is not possible, realistic or right to suggest ending free mixing in all public spaces.
My background is that I was born and raised in Burnley. I attended a local primary school, which is mixed, and later attended a Roman Catholic high school and college. I’ve grown up with diversity and inclusion and fully support freedom of choice and shared values. We must not let it overshadow the day-to-day challenges people in Burnley face—like healthcare, education, public transport, housing, and the environment. I stand for my constituents in Burnley, to make sure every issue is heard and addressed. I remain committed to honest, inclusive, and balanced representation for all the people of our town.
COUNTY COUNCILLOR MAHEEN KAMRAN - 07/05/2025
I’ll be your voice at Lancashire County Council to fight for improved services and a stronger future for our town. My main goals include improving educational facilities and providing adequate support for children with special needs, and developing better school transportation systems. I will dedicate myself to repairing roads and developing public transportation systems, and creating better walking and cycling infrastructure.
I will advocate for senior citizens and disabled people while supporting children's services and local families. I will advocate for environmentally friendly policies which include improved waste management and street cleanliness, and increased protection of natural green areas. I will actively support both emergency planning and fire safety measures.
My main goal will be to listen to all concerns. I will collaborate with you to achieve our goals because I will represent Burnley's interests and maintain its respect.
Access to quality healthcare is essential for every Burnley resident, and I’m committed to ensuring that no one is left behind. I’ll work to strengthen our local health services, pushing for more GP appointments, shorter waiting times, and better support for mental health. By investing in community health programs, we can provide proactive care that keeps people healthy and reduces pressure on our hospitals. I’ll also advocate for better resources and facilities for our elderly and vulnerable residents, ensuring they receive the care and support they deserve. Together, we can build a healthier, more resilient Burnley, where everyone has the care they need when they need it.
Everyone in Burnley deserves to feel safe in their community, and I’m committed to making that a reality. I’ll work to strengthen local policing, ensuring faster response times and a visible presence in key areas, so people can feel secure in their neighborhoods. Tackling anti-social behavior and improving street lighting will help reduce crime and make our public spaces safer for all. I’ll also push for better support for victims of crime and stronger community partnerships to create a network of support that keeps Burnley safe. Together, we can build a town where safety is a priority, and everyone can thrive without fear.
Every individual in Burnley deserves access to high-quality education that prepares them for the future. I’ll work to ensure our schools are well-funded, with up-to-date resources and dedicated staff who can provide the best learning experience. By promoting stronger links between schools, parents, and local businesses, we can create opportunities for apprenticeships and vocational training, giving young people a range of pathways to succeed. I’ll also push for better support for children with special educational needs, ensuring every student gets the help they need to reach their full potential. Together, we can build an education system in Burnley where every student has the chance to thrive.
We value each and every single feedback request and recommendation.
