🌟 Shaping the future of SEND and inclusion in Bury 🌟

This week, Bury’s SEND and Inclusion Conference 2026 brought together headteachers, SENCOs, education professionals and partners from across the borough to reflect on the progress made through our SEND improvement journey and help shape the next phase of our SEND Improvement and Reform Plan.

The conference focused on the power of inclusion, partnership working and collaboration, with delegates exploring how education, health and social care services can continue working together to ensure children and young people with SEND feel valued, supported and able to thrive in their local communities.

A key highlight of the day was the launch of Bury’s new SEND Local Offer website 🎉

The new online resource brings together information, advice and support services in one accessible place, making it easier for children, young people, families and professionals to find the help they need, when they need it.

Thank you to our schools, families, partners and colleagues across education, health and social care who continue to support Bury’s SEND improvement journey, and to Beebot AI for their support in developing the new Local Offer.

Why does Bury Council need to make savings?

More people need support, particularly in adult and children’s social care, and the cost of providing services continues to rise. Some planned savings have also taken longer to deliver.

🚬🧸 Illegal to***co and counterfeit goods seized in coordinated crackdown across Bury

A major day of action on 13 October brought together partners from HMRC, Greater Manchester Police, Immigration Enforcement, Bury Council's Licensing Service and Trading Standards to tackle the sale of illicit to***co, counterfeit goods and other unlawful activity.

Officers visited six premises across Tottington, Ainsworth, Radcliffe, Whitefield and Bury, supported by Wagtail, a specially trained to***co detection dog.

As a result of the operation:
✅ Three premises were found to be selling or storing unlawful goods
✅ 124 packets of illicit ci******es were seized
✅ 18 pouches of hand-rolling to***co were seized
✅ 54 counterfeit or potentially unsafe toys were seized
✅ Goods worth an estimated £3,000 were removed from circulation

This work is part of our ongoing commitment to tackling so-called "dodgy shops" and protecting residents from harmful and illegal products.

Councillor Gavin McGill said: "By removing illicit goods from circulation, we are helping to protect residents, support legitimate businesses and ensure our town centres remain safe, fair and welcoming places to live, work and visit."

Investigations are continuing, and enforcement action will be considered where offences are identified.

Allied Health Professions Day and celebrating those who help residents live independently.

Bury Council marked Allied Health Professions Day on 14 October 2026 by recognising the vital contribution of occupational therapists and the many other allied health professionals who support residents to live healthier, safer and more independent lives.

Working collaboratively across Bury Council, NHS Services and wider community partnerships, allied health professionals play an essential role in helping people overcome challenges, maintain their wellbeing and achieve the outcomes that matter most to them.

Occupational therapists (OTs) are among the professionals making a significant difference to residents across the borough. Working across Children’s and Adult Social Care, Intermediate Care and Housing Services, they support people with disabilities, long-term health conditions, mobility difficulties and changing support needs. By identifying strengths, removing barriers and finding practical solutions, they help people remain independent, achieve personal goals and improve their quality of life.

From devastating floods to stronger protection for Radcliffe and Redvales 💧

The final phase of the £40 million Radcliffe and Redvales flood defence scheme is under way after years of campaigning, partnership working and investment.

The scheme will help protect around 1,000 homes and properties, including communities badly affected by Storm Eva in 2015.

Getting here has taken years of determination and people working together. Bury Council committed £2 million, with a further £3 million from the North West Regional Flood and Coastal Committee. Former Cabinet Member Cllr Alan Quinn, who recently passed the baton to Cllr Lucy Smith for this work, also led a delegation to Parliament in 2018 which helped secure a further £7 million in Government funding, closing a crucial funding gap.

Working with the Environment Agency and other partners, that commitment is now becoming real protection for local people.

Work is under way at Hardy’s Gate Bridge on Dumers Lane, where new flood gates will complete the scheme.

This is what our LET’S Do It! plan is all about: putting relationships first, working together and making things happen for our communities. And we’re doing it.

As we mark Flood Action Week, it’s also a reminder that preparing for severe weather matters. Check your flood risk, sign up for warnings and find out how to protect your home:
