Burnley Council has been told the town centre's rat problem is getting out of hand
Burnley town centre is becoming over-run with rats – some the size of cats – councillors have been warned. Jimmy Pilling, who owns several properties in the area, has accused the town hall of failing to act and singled out open bins behind Ellis’s Burgers on Manchester Road as one of the causes of the infestation.
“We haven’t succeeded yet. One of the main things is that the main food bar on Manchester Road, Ellis’s, has always got the bins open, wide open. “I have spent with the tenants on York Street £1,500 this year alone trying to get rid of them. We’re not getting any help from the council whatsoever.”
