The Parish Council
The Council comprises 9 elected councillors who are unpaid volunteers. The Council employs a part-time Clerk and a Responsible Finance Officer. We manage and fund a range of activities including maintenance of Council-owned common land and the playgrounds; management of the allotments; litter picking; and the inspection and maintenance of trees.
We also review and comment on all planning applications; coordinate with Burnley Borough Council on issues that affect the parish and help deal with local issues raised by parishioners.
You are welcome to contact your Parish Councillors about any local issue of concern. Their contact details can be found on the 'Your Councillors' page. You may also contact Steve Watson, the Parish Clerk, by email or telephone. You are invited to attend Parish Council meetings, which are also held at the Briercliffe Community Centre on Jubilee Street. At the start of each meeting there is always an opportunity for members of the public to raise any issues of concern they may have. Details about forthcoming meetings and the records of previous meeting can be found on the 'Parish Meetings' page.
