Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council

Falling branch victim's foundation 'will help kids'

Madia Kauser was walking in a park with her family when she was fatally hit by a falling branch.

Some authorities have voted for the move as they prepare for local government reorganisation.

Elections are set to be held at seven local authorities in Lancashire but more than half want to delay.

Residents have been known to queue for 45 minutes at one of the existing tips, councillors hear.

Blackburn with Darwen councillors are to be asked to approve changes to the mosque's entrance.

The famous venue will reopen next Autumn after a £9m renovation, Blackburn with Darwen Council says.

The council failed to check trees before the death of Madia Kauser in Witton Park, the HSE say.

Lancashire's councils are set to vote on plans for reorganisation, with five very different proposals.

Leaders of Blackburn and Hyndburn councils say there is no point in a contest before the reorganisation.
