Pendle 

Pendle 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 Pendle to develop the plans for the area, and thanks everyone who has been involved. 

Pendle 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 three Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets projects in Pendle 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.
