A county of stunning coastline, rich countryside and canals that cut through historic cities and industrial towns, Lancashire is a place of unique contrasts and credibility. It is home to the UK’s first mass leisure resort as well as its oldest continual festival. It originated the Spinning Jenny in the nineteenth century and the jet engine in the twentieth century, and, where once the industrial spirit and passion of its people brought cotton and textiles to the world, they now attract international renown for their research into new and emerging technologies and Michelin stars and awards for their world class food and drink. We are incredibly proud of Lancashire’s culture. As a sector, culture and the arts attract over £7 million investment from ACE, augmenting the £34 million County Council and Local Authority combined total spend on culture.

    BLACKBURN AND DARWEN EVENING & LEISURE ECONOMY BLACKBURN Blackburn Town Centre Evening Economy Plan Background . Blackburn town centre’s night time economy has suffered from a lack of investment over the last 20 years. A period of ASB linked to the rise of binge drinking and zero tolerance enforcement impacted on the commercial viability of the businesses . Perception of safety and negative press 3 Blackburn Town Centre Evening Economy Plan Background . Development of the Vue cinema and leisure complex edge of centre doesn’t benefit the core town centre . Lack of good quality restaurants and bars . Strong competition from nearby towns including Darwen, Whalley and Clitheroe as well as Manchester and Preston has meant a wide and quality choice is elsewhere. Sits within a wider strategy to encourage further retail, employment uses and town centre living. 4 Blackburn Town Centre Evening Economy Plan Strategy – 3 Objectives 1. To improve perceptions of the town centre and tackle any issues 2. To improve the current offer by supporting independent operators and encouraging cultural events 3. To invest in the longer term development of the town centre and providing quality sites and spaces for new restaurants, leisure and bars 5 Blackburn Town Centre Evening Economy Plan Progress So Far – Perceptions and safety .

  • Consultation on the Proposal to Decommission Gluten-Free Prescribing
    Consultation on the proposal to decommission Gluten-Free Prescribing Draft Report 1. Introduction 1.1. Following consideration of a proposal to decommission gluten-free prescribing by NHS Blackburn with Darwen and NHS East Lancashire CCGs, it was agreed that this was a change to the service provided to people with coeliac disease (the group most eligible for gluten-free prescriptions). Therefore it was agreed by both CCGs to undertake a formal consultation. 1.2. Following a presentation to and feedback from NHS East Lancashire Patient Partners Board, and feedback from NHS Blackburn with Darwen patient groups, it was agreed to conduct the consultation for a period of 4 weeks, from 17th October to the 11th November 2016. 1.3. The consultation was conducted primarily online, although the option for paper copies of the questionnaire, or the questionnaire in other accessible formats was available by contacting the respective CCG communication and engagement teams. Briefing documents and a frequently asked questions document was made available to support consideration of the survey questionnaire. 1.4. The survey was promoted through social media, traditional media via press releases and online. The survey was heavily promoted to patient participation groups, and membership scheme members as well as the general public. Contact was made with patients with coeliac disease who were members of the respective CCG involvement or membership schemes and as a result of this, contact was also made with the East Lancashire Coeliac Society. 1.5. The promotion of the survey attracted interest nationally from the National Coeliac Society, the British Specialist Nutrition Association, and the British Dietician Association and locally, from MPs (Kate Hollern, Graham Jones and Andrew Stephenson), and East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (Directorate of Digestive Diseases).

  • Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By
    HOUSE OF COMMONS Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By email April 2019 Dear Home Secretary We write as members representing our Muslim constituents to urge the early release of the very welcome additional funding you have announced for security at places of worship. You will recall the matter was raised in Home Office questions on Monday 1 April. Following the appalling attack in Christchurch last month, we have been speaking to our local mosques, and they are understandably extremely concerned about security, particularly with the approach of the Holy Month of Ramadan, when the community will be highly visible. Many of our constituents will be attending late- night prayers during this month, and feel especially vulnerable when out late in the evening. While the new funding will make a difference, it is therefore imperative that it is released as a matter of urgency, and that application processes are kept as simple and clear as possible, in order that measures can be taken to improve security in good time before Ramadan. We would very much appreciate an early opportunity to meet you to discuss how this could best be facilitated, and look forward to hearing from you in the very near future. Yours sincerely Kate Green MP Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP, Chair, APPG on British Muslims Wes Streeting MP, Co-chair, APPG on British Muslims Naz Shah MP, Vice-chair, APPG on British Muslims Debbie Abrahams MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge MP Rushanara Ali MP Kate Hollern MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP Eddie Hughes MP Jonathan Ashworth MP Dr Rupa Huq MP Ian Austin MP Imran Hussain MP Rt.

It’s an industry that I love and admire and one that has been in my family for generations. It’s an industry alive with skill, passion and innovation; an industry with both an incredible history and an exciting future. I am delighted to be Patron of the British Textile Biennial to celebrate all of this and to ensure its future by encouraging young people to get engaged with making and manufacturing again. It’s important to Lancashire that the textile industry thrives because it provides great careers for thousands of people but also a great sense of connection with the past and a sense of pride.
