BLACKBURN with Darwen Council’s leader has announced plans to celebrate its 20th birthday.
Cllr Mohammed Khan has asked council colleagues for help in marking the anniversary of the borough breaking away from Lancashire County Council to become an all-purpose authority and gain responsibility for all local government functions including education, social service and roads.
Cllr Khan said: “We intend to use opportunities throughout the next municipal year to recap on the two decades, highlight key milestones and celebrate achievements.”
