Burnley
Burnley is one of the four districts to benefit from the Levelling Up East Lancashire programme.
Lancashire County Council has been working closely with local communities and stakeholders in Burnley to develop the plans for the area, and thanks everyone who has been involved.
Burnley will benefit from three connected projects as part of the programme:
- Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets.
- Accessible and Vibrant Town Centres.
- Public Transport Improvements.
Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets
The Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets project in Burnley will provide improvements to local streets which aim to make travel easier between homes, jobs, shops and services, and help make streets safer and more accessible for everyone.

Accessible and Vibrant Town Centres
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, shop, and enjoy.
