The Candidates
Kevin John Burchall (Labour)
John is concerned about the decline in law and order in Padiham. In recent years he has seen an increase in vandalism and anti-social behaviour and blames this on a lack of police presence on the streets and the closing of the police station at 7.00 pm.
John also believes that there has been a lack of effort on behalf of Burnley Council to attract investment to Padiham, with the number of empty shops a testament to this. He feels the Council has made it clear that its priorities lie elsewhere.
