🚨 BURNLEY COUNCIL: START TALKING TO THE PEOPLE! 🚨

Why do residents only find out about major road closures, one-way systems, parking changes, and town centre projects AFTER the decisions have effectively been made?

Not everyone uses Facebook.

If a proposal affects a street, business, church, mosque, school, or neighbourhood, the people affected should be informed directly by post and invited to public consultation meetings BEFORE decisions are taken.

I recently heard a local church representative near Burnley Football Club say they were never contacted about matchday road closures. They only found out through Facebook. That is not proper consultation.

The council cannot claim to be listening if many residents never even hear about the consultation.

Look at the town centre changes. Millions have been spent on road and footpath alterations, yet many residents and drivers are frustrated by narrower roads, increased congestion, and longer queues. Whether you agree with the project or not, one thing is clear: people want to be heard before changes happen.

Burnley deserves better communication.

📬 Send letters.🏠 Contact affected residents.🏪 Speak to local businesses.⛪ Engage churches, mosques, and community groups.🗣️ Hold well-publicised public meetings.

Good consultation builds trust. Poor communication creates anger.

Burnley Council, please change your approach. Stop relying on Facebook alone and start talking directly to the people you represent.

A person's religion should not disqualify them from leadership.
If a practicing Muslim is criticized for going to the mosque, or a practicing Christian is criticized for going to church, then by the same logic, people with secular or atheist beliefs also belong to a worldview and a school of thought.
The world is made up of different groups, beliefs, and perspectives. No one is completely without values or convictions.
Don't judge a leader by which group they belong to. Judge them by their character. Judge them by their integrity. Judge them by their service to the community.
Vote for good people. Support good ideas. Reward good character.
A practicing believer is not the problem. A bad leader is.

There is absolutely no need for violence towards immigrants. Many immigrants have come to this country legally through the proper visa process and, like everyone else, they have rights under the law. If anyone commits a crime or behaves unlawfully, the police and the courts are there to deal with it.
Don't be misled by anger or misinformation. Be wise, be responsible, and respect the law.
Everyone has the right to express their views and to protest policies they disagree with. However, protests should always be peaceful, lawful, and properly coordinated with the relevant authorities where required.
At the same time, I believe immigration should be managed and controlled. Every country has a responsibility to balance immigration with its capacity to provide housing, healthcare, school places, and other public services. This is not about hostility towards people; it is about ensuring that growth is sustainable and that communities can continue to function effectively.
We can support lawful immigration, respect people's rights, reject violence, and still have a sensible discussion about immigration policy. These positions are not contradictory—they are part of a balanced and democratic society.

Months of roadworks. Endless queues. Diversions. Wasted fuel. Wasted time.
And still barely any visible progress — right outside Burnley Town Hall on Manchester Road.
Who approved this? What was the deadline? Is anyone managing this project at all?
Residents are frustrated, businesses are affected, and yet the work drags on week after week with no urgency in sight.
People deserve answers — and action.
