Plans to improve road safety by making part of Ormerod Road one-way, grants to local groups and proposals for road-humps in Victoria Road, Padiham, will be discussed at the next meeting of Lancashire Local Burnley on Wednesday 16 January.

Lancashire Locals are an initiative to delegate powers from Lancashire County Council and district councils to local decision-making committees to ensure that changes to services reflect the needs of individual communities.

The committee's powers include budget and priority setting for highways, road safety schemes, waste services, library and museum opening hours, youth and community services and issuing local grants.

The Lancashire Local Burnley committee is formed by equal numbers of councillors from Lancashire County Council and Burnley Borough Council.

Residents are welcome to attend and have the chance to speak on agenda items. The meeting will take place at Burnley Town Hall at 6.30pm. Copies of the agenda are available at www.lancashire.gov.uk. They will also be available on the night. Copies can also be inspected at local libraries, Burnley Borough Council and County Information Centres.
