About

Lanehead ward occupies the western edge of Burnley, bordering the open countryside of the Rossendale Valley. The area is primarily residential, characterised by terraced housing built from the local, distinctive Accrington brick. Its streets follow the contours of the sloping land, with views often opening out towards the surrounding Pennine moorland.

The ward is anchored by several local schools and community facilities. A notable feature is the presence of the Singing Ringing Tree, a wind-powered sound sculpture located on the Crown Point hills above the housing. This landmark overlooks the residential streets below, connecting the area to the wider rural landscape.
