Economic Growth Strategy
The Pendle Economic Growth Strategy supports our long-term strategy to build a strong and resilient economy. Aiming to tackle the causes of economic inequality, to support enterprise and key sectors of business, and to work towards improved infrastructure which would benefit trade and employment opportunities.
This Strategy builds on our Jobs and Growth Strategy published in 2013 and the Economic Recovery and Growth Strategy published in 2021. These previous strategies set out actions and priorities, some of which were successfully achieved, and others which remain priorities to be realised in order to shape and secure investment. Including:
- Improvements to Junction 12 and 13 of the M65 to support economic and housing growth.
- A Strategic Employment Site at Lomeshaye providing 16 hectares of new employment land.
- Refurbishment of Brierfield Mill (Northlight).
- Superfast Broadband rolled out to more Pendle homes.
- Strategic Housing Sites brought forward.
