Barnoldswick town centre improvements

This consultation has closed. We are reviewing the comments and people's preferred options.

The consultation was to understand people’s preferences. We are working with County and Town councils to determine a design, including any change to the roads.

This project is to improve traffic flow and pedestrian access in Barnoldswick town centre.
