Burnley Green Party would like to thank everyone who voted for us in this year’s local elections on 5th May
We were the only party in Burnley to gain seats, securing a second Green councillor in the Cliviger with Worsthorne ward. Congratulations to Jack Launer – we wish you the best of luck in your new role. We now have a total of six borough councillors.

Our candidates narrowly missed out in Brunshaw ward (Alex Hall) and Whittlefield with Ightenhill ward (Andrew Newhouse), but Trinity ward county councillor Andy Fewings has become the first Burnley Green councillor to be re-elected to the borough council, showing that we are here to stay. This is another strong showing by the Greens in Burnley, who are going from strength to strength. The voters know we are the party that supports the residents of our town, and they are showing it at the ballot box. The more Greens you elect, the more we can make real changes in the town. But there is always more to do, and we need your help.
