A LARGE consultation exercise is under way in Burnley and Padiham today in the first stage of the creation of a plan for the borough's future.

Burnley's Future is a community plan which contains a vision for the borough in 2021 and maps out the action needed to build a safe, friendly and prosperous future for the borough.

A draft version of the plan, developed by Burnley Action Partnership, is now available so that people from across the area can get involved and give their views on how they want the borough to change and develop.

The full draft, the supplement and questionnaire is at www.burnley.gov.uk/ community/communityplan; or write to Consultation - Community Plan, PO Box 385, Burnley, Lancashire, BB11 1WZ.
