March 2025:
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has announced the Plan for Neighbourhoods, which will succeed and replace The Long Term Plan for Towns.
We will publish more information as this becomes available via this website and the Burnley Council Facebook page.
Burnley is one of 55 towns announced by the Government to benefit from a nationwide £1.1 billion “levelling up” investment, part of a long-term plan to breathe new life into towns that have been previously overlooked and taken for granted.
Our town will be given £20 million endowment-style funds each over 10 years to invest in local people’s priorities in the key areas of:
Safety and Security
High Streets, Heritage and Regeneration
Transport and Connectivity
Putting Local People in the Driving Seat
The Town Board for Burnley’s Long-Term Plan wants to hear the views of local people on where this Government money should be spent or prioritised.
To have your say, complete the survey form on this page.
Public consultation sessions will also be staged across the area in the coming weeks, as follows:
Burnley Long Term Plan Board Members
An independent Town Board has been set up to arrange public consultation and take on board views to create Burnley’s very own long-term plan to present to the Government, including a 10-year vision and three-year investment plan.
