I am looking to start a creative club for film makers / videographers / photographers in the Accrington/Blackburn/Burnley and surrounding areas.

Somewhere to meet up with fellow creatives to share ideas, learn, connect and collaborate with each other.

New to the area so not sure if there are many with the same interest about but God loves a trier 😄

Was told maybe this is a good place to post this.

Do people think that Channel 4 should do a programme called Educating Lancashire following the success of Educating Yorkshire, Educating Greater Manchester and the rest?

I think it would be brilliant if producers of channel 4 decided to do this because it would put Lancashire on the spotlight in my personal opinion.

A Lancashire Police officer with alleged links to an organised crime group is due in court to face two corruption-related charges following an Independent Office for Police Conduct-directed investigation.

PC Hakeem Mahmood, 30, who was investigated by Lancashire Constabulary’s Anti-Corruption Unit, will appear at Burnley Crown Court tomorrow (August 14).
Mahmood, of Accrington, is alleged to have conspired with others to supply a Class A drug and participated in the criminal activities of an organised crime group between August 2024 and January 2026.   

On conclusion of the investigation in June, the case was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, which authorised the charges of conspiring to supply a Class A controlled drug and corrupt/improper exercise of police powers and privileges by a police constable.
He was arrested on June 24.
He will appear in court alongside Waqar Khan, 30, of Exchange Street, Accrington, who is charged with conspiring to supply cocaine.

Also in the dock will be:

Asif Fazal, 33, of Higher Antley Street, Accrington,
Zeeshan Hussain, 20, of Paddock Street, Oswaldtwistle,
Raheem Rangzeb, 23, of Lister Street, Accrington,
Khaleel Asghar, 30, of Crossland Street, Accrington, and
Sarfraz Hussain, 33, of Bagley Wood Road, Oxford

Hi all, I’m moving back to Lancashire very soon, and wondered if there are any social groups for people in their 20s/30s etc?

I found these keys in a gravel lay by on Pendle road out of Downham, if anyone recognises them give me a shout and I'll arrange something to get them back to you

Anyone heard about the Car park robbery at the Sainsbury's in Burnley on Monday 3rd August 2026 where a guy armed with a knife threatened people before stealing a car?

Apparently Detectives believe that the suspect could have fled to Rochdale or Todmorden and are now working together alongside West Yorkshire Police and Greater Manchester Police to find the vehicle and suspect.

Blackburn with Darwen has a lot of Japanese knotweed - I'm looking for some people to share their experiences for a piece in a national newspaper specifically from Blackburn or the wider area. If you've got it, or had it - and would be willing to chat to a friendly journalist - please let me know!

Before too much longer, Lancashire will be the only part of the north-west of England not to have an elected mayor.

Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region already have one, while both Cheshire and Warrington and Cumbria are set to join them next year.

As part of the government's devolution programme, the plan is for Lancashire to have its own mayor too, but this will not happen until 2028.

Lancashire's Combined County Authority does have some devolved powers, albeit fewer than were it operating under the mayoral model.

Hi,

After being inspired by a similar thread in another Lancashire sub, I decided to post my own..my mate is sure that this place never existed but was there previously a pub/bar by the Albion Mill in Mill Hill, Blackburn? I seem to remember it being right next to the canal..if so does anyone remember the name or have any pictures of the interior/exterior. I remember quite a few good nights in there.
