But your local Council services are provided at three levels – County, Borough and – in some areas – parish councils.
Most local council spending in Burnley is the responsibility of Lancashire County Council.
The LCC supports the state primary and secondary schools, a sixth form centre, and runs social services, libraries, state funded youth services.
LCC has the main responsibility for highways, including winter gritting, and for street lighting maintenance.
