A HOUSE improvement scheme gets underway in a town.
As part of a wider commitment to improving the local housing stock, Burnley Council is carrying out improvement work in one of the borough’s selective licensing areas.
Improvements, including the installation of new gutters and downpipes and painting of the stonework, are being carried out in the Ingham Street and Lawrence Street, Padiham.
It follows similar schemes in other parts of the borough, including Brennand Street and Accrington Road, Burnley.
Cllr John Harbour, the council’s executive member for housing and leisure, said: “This facelifting work helps brighten up the houses and generally gives a boost to the look and feel of a neighbourhood.
"It’s part of a wider commitment by the council to improving the borough’s housing stock. The work is relatively small-scale but has proved to be a really effective method of improving the way an area looks.”
