Extracts from the page which point towards current issues in Hyndburn include:
In East Lancashire, local plans, which set out housing and business sites are not yet fully developed. Therefore, the draft masterplan presents the big issues we need to address to make sure people and goods can move efficiently in East Lancashire, and proposes where studies should focus to get a better understanding of future problems and potential solutions.
These studies will produce the sound evidence we need to make the case for further investment in new schemes to make sure we have the right priorities to get value for money from every pound spent.
It proposes wide-ranging, detailed work to identify problems, gaps and opportunities affecting roads and public transport, to make sure that people, businesses and housing markets have better links within East Lancashire and to other areas of economic opportunity. It looks at how the current rail network can be exploited to its full potential, making the most of investments by Network Rail elsewhere in the North West, and if there are benefits in extending the current network.
It also builds on recent confirmation of £40m funding for the Pennine Reach rapid bus transport scheme to improve links between Hyndburn and Blackburn, and the announcement by Transport for Lancashire of major investments in East Lancashire.
