ONE-way systems in Rylands Street and Ford Street, between St Andrews Street and Briercliffe Road, have been given the go-ahead by Burnley councillors.

The scheme was agreed by residents and Lancashire County Council to remove the 'rat run" in the St Andrews triangle area, near Duke Bar.

Drivers are using residential roads as a fast route between Briercliffe Road and Colne Road and to get to Duke Bar more easily.
