HYNDBURN Borough Council has been named as one of the country’s best employers in a national survey.

Council leader Peter Britcliffe said he was ‘delighted’ at the news the council made the top 10 list of best employers to work for nationally in a Sunday Times survey.

He said: “Some time ago staff morale was very low and to have lifted it to the level where we have received an award, proves that in Hyndburn, we punch above our weight.”
