Big money incoming 💸
Some of Rossendale’s town centres, parks, tennis and football facilities are to benefit from government funds, which were designed to replace old European Union schemes following Brexit.
Labour Coun Alyson Barnes, the leader of the council, replied: “UK Shared Prosperity funding has come through and we will be asked to formally accept at this meeting. It was a long time, but it has come. We won’t be able to deliver it in the original timeframe we had.” But Coun Barnes added: “There was three times as much money available to communities through the European Union as there is through this Shared Prosperity Fund. I’m not quite sure why the government calls this activity levelling-up.”
Whitaker Park at Rawtenstall we have refurbished play facilities for a wider age range of youngsters along with paths, drainage and gulley improvements. Work with the Lawn Tennis Association will redevelop two old existing tennis courts back into use. At Haslingden’s Victoria Park, an existing skateboard areawill be upgraded and the park’s gate entrance will be enhanced.
Labour Coun Patrick Marriott welcome the proposed £300,000 for Waterfoot and Coun Liz McInnes highlighted support for parks and a new Whitaker Park friends group.
