Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets
Creating opportunities through safer, greener, and healthier travel
The Levelling Up East Lancashire programme will deliver Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets projects in seven areas across Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Rossendale.
These projects will deliver 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.
We have worked together with local communities and stakeholders to develop each of the Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets projects. Thank you to all of the individuals, groups, and schools who have worked with us to shape the plans.
We have been listening to and taking on board views and feedback from local people to ensure that the plans are tailored to meet local needs and deliver what matters most to communities. The details are different for each project, and may include improvements such as new surfacing on pavements or roads, better street lighting, seating areas or tree planting. Other changes may include road safety measures to make streets and crossing points safer, and support walking and cycling as travel options for people alongside public transport and car travel. More information about how the Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets projects have been developed in partnership with local communities is available here.
