A diverse area with a thriving cultural scene, famous for its textile manufacturing, art and heritage. Once visited by Gandhi, Blackburn with Darwen is perfectly placed with miles of countryside on the doorstep.
As part of our work to support Blackburn, we are pushing for the Lancashire Cycling and Walking Strategy investment programme to be delivered through the Local Transport Plan which includes further linkages to the Weavers Wheel and the wider East Lancashire Strategic Cycle Network. Additionally, we are looking at a new public right of way to improve walking and cycling accessibility, connecting future housing developments with the town centre and public transport.
Building on Blackburn with Darwen’s rich industrial heritage, the Hive Ambassadors Network unites local businesses, organisations and individuals in a powerful network to help challenge perceptions and boost the town’s profile.
