BURNLEY MP Peter Pike has praised the newly opened Burnley Citizen's Advice Bureau saying he is impressed with the changes that have taken place.
Mr Pike said: "The much improved premises - with good access for disabled people - is clearly providing a much better unified town centre advice centre for the people of Burnley."
During his visit he was met by the manager Rosemary Bowling and Ken McGeorge who gave him a quick tour round and introduced him to the staff. He was also able to look at the updated facilities available.
He said: "I am all too well aware of the need for centres like the Burnley Citizen's Advice Centre which ensures those in need get the help they need to understand our benefit system. Too many people are deterred by forms and struggle to get the benefit they need and are qualified for."
