The video, which lasts just under 2 and a half minutes displays bin wagons, cups of tea and brick walls in the shape of an X - similar to the marks used to cast your vote on ballot papers.
The YouTube video includes clips of local sites including the Leisure Centre development and Darwen Library Theatre. It’s part of a campaign to encourage people to have their say and be part of history on June 4 by voting in the European elections, the biggest ever held in history, and the first elections ever to Darwen town council.
It’s the third time the Council has used You Tube in this way. The first video in January 2009 featured an interview with chief executive Graham Burgess while the second, posted last month, features the Workroutes initiative which helps people overcome barriers to getting back into employment.
Children from Darwen children’s centre performed X jumps while pupils from the Highercroft centre for vocational education are seen building a brick wall in the shape of an X.
The video ends with a number of Council staff holding up signs giving their reasons as to why they vote. These include having a say, making a difference and having the right to vote from 18 years old.
