Borough Councillor Reports
...in April 2021
As in several other areas of Burnley, there has been an increase again in the number of noisy and speeding motor bikes.
There is an increasing problem with gangs of youths congregating, sometimes outside the shops. In addition to continued liaison with the police, Maggie has ensured that the problem has been referred to the multi-agency team which collects information and is the background body which makes sure that all the organisations know about problems and can co-ordinate responses. That also applies to the vandalism and fire setting on the Queen Street Recreation Ground and the Woodland Walk. It was good to see that recent police action has identified some of the youths involved and they have followed up with visits to parents and warnings. The new Neighbourhood Alert system is working well. It is important to keep residents in touch with police work and the information is encouraging more people to report problems.
There continues to be a problem with dumping rubbish and fly-tipping which is reported to us directly and via Facebook. In most cases, it is swiftly removed, thanks to Streetscene, which is the relevant Council Department.
A number of dog litter bins have been replaced with larger ones and increased emptying requested. We have reminded people that, if waste is securely bagged, they can use the ordinary bins. We are getting increased patrols by the dog warden and there are new posters going up.
As a result of the snowfalls, requests have been made for grit bins at various sites. A review of the siting of the current ones is underway. It continues to be a challenge to ensure that they are re-filled.
We continue to report potholes and the need for road surface repairs to the County Council. Several of the worst have been filled with some degree of success. The hasty filling-in repairs to Talbot Street were not so good. There is no doubt that the whole street needed re-surfacing and we will keep up the pressure.
Following problems with the fencing at the bottom of Croasdale Avenue, the Council has been round and checked the fencing and entrances to footpaths in other parts of Briercliffe.
Some surface repairs have been done to the pavement outside the shops. Maggie got a response which said the Highways Department will only repair in those cases where the hole is a minimum depth! That means, of course, that the problem will keep recurring until a proper re-surfacing job is done.
We continue to have issues with the Medical Centre and the GP Practice, now run by Leeds-based Bramley Health. Maggie is talking directly with them. Please let Maggie know about any specific problems so that she can take them up with the management.
Burnley Council has continued the pilot scheme which has halved the cost of bulky waste removal for a further period of three months. If residents notify them via the website, it will be collected. The evidence is that it is being used by residents which reduces both dumping and Recycling Centre visits.
As usual, there are other problems referred to the councillors about more local and individual problems, which we deal with directly.

Standen Hall Development
From Borough Cllr. Maggie Lishman:
Just to let you all know the development control committee of the council have, this evening, refused planning permission for the Standen Hall development in Briercliffe on highways issues principally. Well done to local residents, particularly getting an independent highways expert to challenge the county council highways assumptions. Great news well done one and all!

New House Building behind Commercial
An interesting start to the week with heavy lorries backing up on Briercliffe Road with building material for the new houses behind May Tree Close. Thanks to several residents who rang early to tell us.
The problem is that this area is in Pendle not Burnley. A few years ago, when planning permission was first granted, Anne Kelly went to the meeting to object. Last week, when a resident alerted us to the fact that work was about to start, Maggie Lishman met people from ring stones/Calico at the site to talk about disruption and problems for residents. This led to the letter from ring stones delivered to people in the area and a Focus leaflet to Saxifield/Gorple/Cuerdale/Camp Streets and Milton/Parker/ Holgate Streets which Maggie delivered on Saturday.
Apparently, the drivers this morning didn't know where they were supposed to go, so they parked on the pavement and there was some suggestion that they dump stuff on Jubilee Street at the old Royal Court site.
Maggie spoke to the contacts at ring stones (details on the leaflet they circulated if anyone else wants to have a go) and got the support of Burnley's Chief Executive to talk with Calico. She asked for a letter of apology to residents for the confusion, certainty that they would stick to the agreed working hours, inspection and repair/replacement of any damaged pavements (already agreed) and clarification of any link to the Jubilee Street site.
Let us know if there's anything else we need to know.

New Waste Collection & Recycling Scheme
Report from Briercliffe Councillors: Anne Kelly, Maggie Lishman, Gordon Lishman
We thought that residents would welcome an update on the roll-out of the new scheme.
About half the homes in Burnley are switching to a wheelie bin system for their recyclable materials while the remainder will stay with the box and bag system. The councillors have already shared information on this site and in our Focus leaflet.
Just to recap: there has been a lot of demand for better recycling facilities, but some people, mainly those in smaller houses, prefer to keep the old system which doesn’t take up as much room. The Council can’t give everybody a choice because that would involve two expensive complete rounds for collection, so a first decision has been made on the basis of house size in streets and areas. The councillors consulted residents about the plans and as a result a few changes have been made in Briercliffe.
We weren’t happy that the consultation on detailed areas had to be done so quickly so we proposed that there should be a review in about a year and this has been agreed. At that time, we’ll consult in more detail to get the system as right as possible for Briercliffe’s streets and communities.
The Council will deliver a blue bin (for glass, cans and plastic) and a dark grey bin (paper and cardboard) to approximately 22,000 properties from Monday (2nd September) and the process is expected to take two to three weeks with the new collection service starting in October. The new bins are being delivered on a collection round basis so we can't say exactly which day each area will be covered.
Please note that residents who are moving to the new wheelie bins should continue using their blue box and white sack until the last recycling collection in September as the wheelie bins won't start to be emptied until after 1st October.
Recycling wheelie bins will be collected every four weeks; bags and boxes will continue to be emptied every two weeks. A calendar setting out dates on what should be put out on which date, plus other information, is also being delivered to every household in the borough from this week.
The Council will deliver improved white sacks (for those staying on that system) in November - the sacks are larger, sealable and weighted and have a carry handle.
People can check which system their home will be using by visiting burnley.gov.uk/recyclenow

For March 2019
Borough Councillor Anne Kelly reported:
Borough Councillor Anne Kelly reported:
- That fly-tipping and dog fouling were still major problems and that she would approach Streetscene about the roles and responsibilities of Street Cleaning Operatives.
- There is a problem of youths using Nitrogen Oxide capsules, however these are legally, and readily, available.
- Community Centre -Everything is running well. It has been recommended that an upgrade to the fire alarm system be made. A replacement is due around Easter.
For February 2019
1. Cllr. Anne Kelly went to Planning meeting at Burnley BC to support residents of Lydgate who objected to the
plans for the carpet warehouse. The application was approved despite some valid objections.
2. Most frequent complaints are about dog fouling and littering/ fly tipping. Dog warden has
been making regular visits. Cllr. Anne Kelly is to do some spraying again on path to school and round
Standen Hall Drive.
3. Streetscene have been investigating some fly tipping at Thursden.
- Community Centre - all going well. Accounts have been audited. Gas and electricity checks have

3. Streetscene have been investigating some fly tipping at Thursden.
For November 2018
1. Youth Nuisance has again been causing problems in Harle Syke and other areas of the ward. The local police have been involved and identified a number of the culprits who have been spoken to and their parents contacted. We hope that the police will continue to take action on this during the winter nights.
2. Dog fouling, particularly on the way up to Briercliffe School, is again a problem. Irresponsible owners are making the footpath dirty and dangerous for the school children and their relatives. The Dog Warden has been asked to come up again and the councillors are considering other ways to try and tackle this resistant problem.
3. There have been some issues with recycling collections which should now be sorted but a watchful eye is being kept on progress.
4. Once again, there are concerns about the company who have taken over from Pendle Skips. Anyone who has any issues over noise or out of hours activity should get in touch so that the evidence can be put together and presented to the authorities. We have informed the Planning Department and taken the Borough Council Chief Executive to see the site and tell him about the problems. LCC have again visited the site and issued a warning but there was nothing burning while they were there! Their permit doesn’t allow burning, so they would be in breach of their licence if caught. The Environment Agency have also visited but want to catch them in the act and visit while they are burning. Please pass on the message to anyone that as soon as they or you see or smell any burning to ring the Environment Agency immediately so that they can attend quickly. Their direct number is 0800 807 060. They are aware of the problem and want to address it. If you tell one of the councillors at the same time, we’ll add it to our list.
5. The wall down to Lane Bottom has finally been completed, we never thought it would take quite so long!
6. A request has been made to Highways at County for the white lines at the Haggate crossroads to be repainted and we have been assured it is now on the list. It’s a dangerous crossroads, particularly for drivers not aware of the dangers. Are there any other road markings that Highways need to repaint?

For October 2018
This month, the councillors played host to Burnley’s Chief Executive. We showed him some of the continuing problems and he is taking action to resolve them:
The former Pendle Skips site including the land-shifting at the end of Croasdale Avenue and behind Horning Crescent and the nuisances caused by the new business there
- The land between Balderstone Lane and Lydgate where there are objections to the planning application for a carpet showroom and warehouse
- A request for a barrier to stop bikes speeding Portsmouth Avenue down the footpaths
- The Walshaw Mill site where there is a current planning application for houses
- Walverden Road where he confirmed the council’s contribution to the cost of trying to sort out the road surface
We have heard from the County Council Highways Dept that work on the wall down to Lane Bottom is scheduled to be completed by October 25 2018 (Fingers crossed)!
Redoing the white lines at Haggate crossroads has been requested as they are fading (again). Another accident happened there just after the request was made and proved the importance of getting it done! Lancashire Highways Operations Manager has agreed to “add the need to remark the Stop road markings to our road marking works for Burnley.”
The councillors have arranged for a new War Memorial Plaque to be fixed by the War Memorial at the Bowling Green. It will be in place for the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
Cllr Gordon Lishman attended the meeting of residents about the planning application behind Lydgate (as above). He complimented residents on the extremely good presentation of their objections for the Development Control Committee.
Lancashire Police are re-organising “to answer the phone quicker, respond more effectively, target offenders and look after the vulnerable”. It will involve fewer neighbourhood police officers in communities – not good news for Briercliffe.
LCC have planned cuts to winter gritting, by lowering the road surface temperature at which they will intervene from +1.0C to +0.5C. It is predicted that this will reduce gritting treatment.
Some of the worst potholes have been filled in, including some of the worst in Harle Syke – Talbot Street and the main Road. It’s not as good as proper re-surfacing, but it is an improvement for the time being.
For September 2018
Combined reports from: Anne Kelly, Maggie Lishman and Gordon Lishman.
1. The Proposed development on Balderstone Lane is concerning residents
around Talbot Drive and Lydgate.
Local people have done a very good job in putting together their objections and will speak at the Development Control meeting when the planning application comes up. Borough and Parish Councillors have been advising them and supporting their objections.
A big factor is the new Local Plan, (which the LibDems voted against), but it went through anyway.
2. There has been a problem with a noisy machine
on the industrial estate in the Lydgate area. It’s now been sorted out - the defective motor in an outdoor machine has been replaced.
3. We really thought that work on the Halifax Road wall
down to Lane Bottom was going to be completed soon but for some unknown reason, the work has stalled. We are following it up with the County Council.
4. Congratulations
to the organisers on the great success of Briercliffe Gala.
A great occasion!
5. The saga of Walverden Road continues
The delay at present is because of the difficulty of getting contractors to bid for the work to resurface an "unadopted" road...
which residents are trying to get sorted out.
6. Borough Councillors have arranged for a plaque to go on the wall
at the War Memorial by the Bowling Green.
It commemorates the centenary of the end of the First World War and will be in place for this year’s
Armistice Day event in November.
7. Anne Kelly is now Burnley's Deputy Mayor
which means she will be Mayor of the Borough next year if she is re-elected to the Council.
Anne is already undertaking some duties around the town.
8. Some play equipment
on Queen St has been removed after a safety check. It will be repaired and returned soon.
9. Illegal camping on Milton Street
has caused a nuisance for nearby residents but an eviction order has been issued and the site should be cleaned soon.
10. Fly tipping and litter
has been reported to Burnley Council’s Streetscene, who do respond promptly. If you see any litter or rubbish go onto Burnley Borough Council website and follow the links to Streetscene, or click the flllowing link: https://www.burnley.gov.uk/residents/streetscene
For July 2018
1. Halifax Road to Lane Bottom is wall being repaired finally!
It is turning out to be a substantial piece of work and we are looking forward to its completion. One resident suggested replacing it with a crash barrier but the County Council were against this as it was not consistent with the area and there have not been any serious accidents.
2. The bags of industrial type rubbish
up Thursden are still there. Apparently the farmer has been clearing the fields of rubbish. However, they have been there some time so Streetscene are in touch with him to remove them as soon as possible.
3. Covert cameras
have been placed around the more rural areas of Briercliffe to identify and catch fly tippers.
4. Our congratulations
to the gala organisers for a fantastic event, really well organised. Thanks to Streetscene for providing the bins.
5. A planning application
has been submitted to build a carpet warehouse on currently vacant land at the top of Balderstone Lane which extends towards houses in Briercliffe. This land is currently zoned for light industrial use, which means that a reasonable application is unlikely to be refused. Residents in the affected area have been asked to comment and several have been in touch with the councillors. We are submitting comments drawing attention to residents’ concerns and asking that the Development Control Committee should consider any potential impact in terms of light and noise pollution.
6. Residents of Walverden Rd.
had a meeting last week to discuss how to finance the resurfacing of the road. the road is unadopted and therefore the responsibility of the house-owners. They are collecting estimates for the work and have been promised 25% of the cost from United Utilities whose tankers use the access to the Sewage Works regularly. Most of the households have agreed to pay their share.
7. The Local Plan
which sets out areas for development for the next 10 years across the borough has been published. There is little in it which concerns Briercliffe except for a small piece of land in Lane Bottom.
8. A regular complaint
is about overhanging shrubs which make footpaths narrow and untidy. Briercliffe Parish Council will in future write letters/ leaflet drop to homeowners asking them politely to cut back their own shrubbery.
9. We are trying to resolve a problem
with an empty house on Lydgate.
10. The councillors have dealt with
various rubbish tipping across the ward.
11. Dog fouling continues to be a problem
and we are looking at various initiatives taken by other councils to see if we could use them in Burnley.
For June 2018
Maggie Lishman:
1. The wall down to Lane Bottom
Repairs will be started in 3 weeks' time - (around the 2nd week in July)... will be keeping an eye on this development closely as it is well overdue.
2. A variety of waste dumping incidents
...have been dealt with by Streetscene. On all occasions very efficiently. Some have been in rural areas, some within the built up ares. Streetscene are setting up surveillance where they consider it appropriate.
3. Backyard Clean-ups
I have had a number of backyards cleaned and tenants or owners dealt with over the
past few weeks. Please advise residents to report issues to us and these can be dealt
with by the appropriate persons.
4. Guns being discharged
There have been reports of some people with guns shooting in the countryside
seemingly irresponsibly and I have raised this with our PCSO.
5. Poor Visibility for Drivers
Netherwood St and Oaken Bank have again expressed their concerns over the sight
lines when they leave Netherwood St by car. I have asked our County Councillor and a
representative of Highways , on their behalf, to meet them on site to allow them a
chance to explain their concerns.
6. The Eternal Problem
Dog fouling is still a major issue around the area. There have been increased patrols
around Briercliffe school and notices have been re-posted.
Gordon Lishman:
1. Fly-tipping
A farmer has helping to collect dumped rubbish and bring it altogether to then be collected...so some of the heavy bags over Widdop are actually the result of trying to deal with the problem rather than create it.
2.Land at the top of Balderstone Lane
This is the land that has been sold relatively recently by the Council. Since 2007, it has
been zoned for small industrial units. Some preliminary work has been going on and
residents are concerned about what may be happening. The Development Control
Department have confirmed that this work is linked to probable mineshafts under the
area and that the work is necessary to complete the planning application. They have
received an incomplete planning application which they expect to be completed and
submitted in the near future. The site has been sold as one unit and they believe that it
is proposed to erect a warehouse which will be used for carpet storage (not
manufacturing). Once the application is completed, there will be a 13-week period for
consultation and local councillors and residents will be asked for their views. These
might include, for instance, views about noise and operating hours. This area is not
zoned for housing development.
Part of this land by Balderstone Lane was a mess with empty plastic bottles and other
rubbish, perhaps linked to the LCC re-cycling centre, but this has now been cleared.
3. Footpaths
There are a number of issues about some of the footpaths on the land between houses
and Balderstone Lane. At my request, Burnley Council’s StreetScene have cleared a lot
of rubbish but there are further questions about problems with the paths. This is the
responsibility of LCC Footpaths Department and I have asked them about residents’
concerns.
4. Potholes
We have reported some of the worst potholes and road surfaces to LCC which, we
understand, is dealing with the worst examples.
5. Pendle Skips
There have been other reported issues which fall outside the Parish area.
