A SECOND councillor has joined calls to ban Eid celebrations from part of Blackburn.

Last week Lib Dem Sajid Ali said the noisy biannual festivities should be banned from Whalley Range because they were making life a misery for residents.

Now another Bastwell Lib Dem, Mohammed Rizwan, has added his voice to the campaign.

He said: “I believe Eid street ban is a must for the benefit of the residents of Bastwell and Shear Brow.

“Eid is a joyous occasion but it should not be celebrated in a way that causes problems for others.”
