Remade are working towards the Regional Park. Its a great idea.

And in answer to the contributions - I just want the best for where I live and I am sick and fed up of crap decisions and nothing getting any better. I have posted 3 or 4 posts last year and read regularly. I am interetsted in what other people genuinely think.

- The Coppice is a significant part of the Regional Park and may be the centrepiece? -

Regional Park.

The development of East Lancashire's Regional Park - the first in the North West - means a major boost for the area. A cash injection of £23 million to develop the Park opens up a brighter future for both visitors and residents alike.

The Park is a key element of our twenty-year strategy and encompasses both rural and urban areas in East Lancashire. It will provide an environment in which our communities will be encouraged to take part in various initiatives designed to improve their immediate surroundings and enhance their quality of life.

The Regional Park will provide an overarching focus for other projects such as transport, housing, economic development, education and health. It will bring in new investment and create additional development opportunities. Attractive new housing developments and business relocations will result from the pleasant environment created by the Regional Park. The East Lancashire Rapid Transit system will facilitate the movement of people to and around the Regional Park.

The Park will improve the image and upgrade the environment of East Lancashire by promoting it as a place to live and work and helping to attract private sector investment. It will also stimulate urban regeneration, providing an interface for communities with recreational, cultural and sporting facilities in a countryside environment.

The Park will also raise the profile and image of East Lancashire as a great place to visit. The new woodland and gateway facilities that will be developed as part of the Park will provide a considerable boost to the tourism industry. The Park will allow the development and expansion of local recreational, sporting and leisure facilities.

Disadvantaged communities will benefit directly from the Park. The initial focus will concentrate on a broad band of urban fringe land adjoining a number of disadvantaged areas. The re-use of derelict sites, reclamation of brownfield land and diversification of agricultural land will all be priority activities.

Funding of £5m from the Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) towards the Park's establishment is matched by a further £18m from the public and private sector.
