BURNLEY Council leader Julie Cooper has changed the date of her next open surgery.

Residents are now free to discuss issues with Coun Cooper, at Burnley Town Hall, from 10am to noon, on Friday.

An evening surgery, planned for Thursday, had to be cancelled due to a diary clash.

Residents can make an appointment with the leader on 01282 477254. Council employees from the chief executive’s office will also be on hand to answer questions.
