Share your thoughts on the Manchester Road - Accessible and Vibrant Town Centre project

Lancashire County Council have launched their online engagement for their East Lancashire LUF (Levelling Up Fund), including the Manchester Road, Burnley – Accessible and Vibrant Town Centre project.

In Burnley, improvements through the Accessible and Vibrant Town Centre project are planned for Manchester Road. This project includes Town Hall Square, Manchester Road (North), and Grimshaw Street. The project aims to enhance public spaces and improve experiences in the town centre, making it a more attractive and accessible place to spend time in and shop.  For more information click here.

All residents and stakeholders across Lancashire are being asked to share their views on this project and the wider East Lancashire LUF Programme through a short online survey which closes on August 19th 2024.
