Burnley Council intend to build 2483 houses with no plans for new primary schools, no plans for new Doctors Surgeries, no plans for new Dentists, no plans for new Hospital Upgrades, no plans for new infrastructure and no plans for new fast transport links to Manchester.

In Burnley there are 2800 empty houses that the Council could regenerate and provide sustainable social housing.
Refurbishment of these properties could provide work for local tradesmen, properties could be purchased by young couples in "Let with an option to Buy" schemes organised by the council and local financiers.


Building new houses on GreenField Sites will cause Urban Sprawl and a massive
Town Center housing blight.
