Levelling Up East Lancashire

New Search

Purpose Our 55m pound Levelling Up Fund will improve everyday life for East Lancashire's residents by providing better local travel options, easier access to jobs and services, and support for our local economies.

Working closely with local communities and stakeholders we have developed detailed plans to deliver an ambitious programme of projects across Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Rossendale.

The feedback that we received from everyone who attended events or route visits, and responded to engagement surveys, has helped us to adapt and improve plans to deliver what matters most to local people. Our detailed proposals will be submitted to government later this year to agree funding for the programme.

All residents and stakeholders across Lancashire are being asked to share their views on the proposals through a short online survey. We want to hear your views before we submit the final proposal to government later this year, with work expected to start in 2025. This feedback will help us shape the final plans.

The engagement survey is open from 22 July 2024 to 2 September 2024.

The Levelling Up East Lancashire programme will deliver a range of improvements through three connected projects:
- Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets.
- Accessible and Vibrant Town Centres.
- Public Transport Improvements.

The improvements planned through these three projects aim to provide:
- faster and more reliable bus journeys.
- safer and more accessible streets.
- access to better jobs, pay, and living standards.
- more attractive and busy town centres.
- enhanced public and green spaces to spend time in.
