Your British National Party Candidate

Introducing Joan Dewhurst . . .

Joan Dewhurst 35, lives in Brunshaw. For 19 years she lived in Burnley Wood and her family still lives there.

Since 1983, she has worked for the same paper edging company.

Having seen first hand the way the council has allowed the community in Burnley Wood to disintegrate, while money has been lavished on Daneshouse, Joan is determined to end Labour's preferential funding.
"If I am elected as a councillor for Bank Hall I will work for a more even redistribution of funding throughout the wards of Burnley. The Labour Party only seems interested in currying favour with the town's ethnic minorities, they don't appear to give a damn about the rest of us."
