Hyndburn Borough Council

We are the local district Council for the Borough of Hyndburn, in East Lancashire. Our main offices are in Accrington and we also cover the townships of Oswaldtwistle, Great Harwood, Clayton-le-Moors and Rishton.

As well as a number of towns, we have large areas of outstanding open space to explore, including our wonderful parks and 3 local nature reserves. We're home to the famous Accrington Stanley football club, our NORI bricks helped build the Empire State Building and our Council-run Haworth Art Gallery has the largest collection of Tiffany Glass in Europe.

We face many challenges as a borough, predominantly linked to deep-seated inequalities in health and deprivation. You will join us at an exciting time, as we look to progress our recently adopted corporate strategy. This focusses on sustainable growth in both housing and employment, as well as on our environment and climate change. We have an ambitious transformational agenda, as evidenced by our current Levelling Up programme which is regenerating our main town centre.

We are proud of our reputation as a forward-thinking council with a strong track record of delivering high-quality services, driving regeneration and making things happen.
