Demanding Our Rights: Fix Burnley’s Neglected Roads

We are not asking for any favours,

we are asking for our rights.

At the full Council Meeting, I raised this issue once again, along with our shared frustration over the lack of action from Highways, despite multiple follow-ups with them. 

The ongoing poor road conditions in Burnley, especially on Abel Street, New Hall Street, and Hurtley Street, are completely unacceptable. The people of Burnley deserve 

far better than neglected, unsafe, and deteriorating roads. 

In the full council meeting, I raised my concerns to the Deputy Leader for Reform 

about the spread of misinformation amongst young people 

and the impact it’s having on dividing communities.

I highlighted that this issue could lead to serious consequences if not addressed, 

and I asked what steps are being taken to tackle misinformation while encouraging 

young people to get more involved in local and national politics.
