Land off vivary Way
Local people and organisations are being urged to give their views by Wednesday 1st March on how they think land at Vivary Way, Colne, should be used.
Pendle
Council owns the land which is currently leased by Pendle Leisure
Trust.
It was used for their Urban Altitude outdoor adventure climbing
facility which closed in April last year.
And previously the Trust used
the land for outdoor sports on an all-weather pitch.
Councillor Mohammed Iqbal,
Leader of Pendle Council, said:
“This land is going to have a new lease
of life and we’re keen for local people to give us suggestions for its future
use.
People can give their views by filling in a short form on Pendle
Council’s website: www.pendle.gov.uk/vivary
Pendle Council is also displaying information at Pendle Leisure
Centre and Colne Library with slips to fill in and post in the boxes
provided.
“People need to bear in mind the fact that Pendle Council
supports the reinstatement of the railway line from Colne to Skipton, should it
be re-opened in future,” said Councillor Iqbal.
“If the rail track got
the go ahead at some point, the route goes through this land.
“That’s why
we’re looking for a use which will not stop this possible development,” he
explained.
“Local businesses have already expressed an interest in using
the land,” he added.
