  • CHANGE at CHERRY TREE Report1
    Fund ed thanks to: • BwDBC Local Transport Plan 3 • BwD CONNECT Project (Local Sustainable Transport Funding) • Designated Line Community Rail Development Fund • Northern Rail ALL CHANGE AT CHERRY TREE - a Blackburn with Darwen BC and Community Rail Lancashire community art and horticultural project with a musical difference! • All change at Cherry Tree aimed to establish Cherry Tree Station as a gateway to the local community and to the nearby Witton Country Park. • The station is on the Preston to Colne line and is served by an hourly diesel service between Preston and Colne. Th e facilities offered to passengers were very basic, with approaches to the platforms infested with weeds and litter and shelters and running in boards bearing the brunt of regular bouts of vandalism over a number of years. Viewed as a no go area especially in the evenings the station required immediate action to develop a safe and smart local public transport gateway for the local community . • Despite th e extremely poor waiting environment and issues of anti -social behaviour the station has averaged growth of 12% per annum over the last 5 years and Community Rail Lancashire and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council both recognised the potential for further growth through considerable latent demand given its proximity to the commuter hubs of Preston and Blackburn and the growth of students needing to travel to college s in both towns. A key issue was, therefore, how to deal with the anti -social behaviour at the station and the tired looking environment and its effect on the imag e of the local area and future passenger demand.

  • Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    Lancashire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by: Bill Oddie OBE This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. Lancashire’s countryside has much to offer; from the gritstone fells of the Forest of Bowland to the sand dunes of the Sefton Coast. There are some great opportunities to view wildlife too, including red squirrels and marsh harriers. It is more than worth taking that first step and getting yourself involved in your local countryside, regardless of your abilities. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help us to encourage better access for all in the future. This Second Edition published Summer 2019 Copyright © Open Country 2019 There are some things that some disabilities make “ more difficult. The countryside and wildlife should not be among them.
