The evening received enthusiastic support from local attendees, with attendees praising the positive direction and high energy of the local branch.

Commenting on the success of the event, Councillor Don Whitaker said:

“It was fantastic to see such strong enthusiasm from local supporters across Burnley and Hyndburn. Having figures like Charlie Downes and Montgomery Toms with us highlighted the drive and dedication within our party, especially among the younger generation coming forward to make a difference.

“Restore Britain is built on grassroots passion and common-sense values. From little acorns, mighty oaks grow—and this event clearly showed the huge potential our branch has to deliver real, positive change for residents across East Lancashire.”
