I dont know about this -

A fashion tower celebrating the history of the textile history - dont we already have something like this in Helmshore Textile Museum in Rossendale?

Something to do with football - dont we already have something like this at preston north end football club?

Where are the public spaces going to come from at the heart of our towns? Most of our towns have roads and shops in the middle of them.

Pennine Playground - he says new facilities for cyclists and horse riding and small centres for sports such as skateboarding bmx rollerblading and artificial rock climbing - horse riding there is an equestrian centre near me a fairly new one which is getting to be nationally recognised, why do we need another one? Where i work we have a rollerblading session on a saturday morning when it started it was for two hours and the full hall now it is for 1 hr and half of the sports hall. When i was working on a saturday 4 kids turned up for it! I'll go for the artificial rock climbing that is popular we had one at work and people were queueing up to get on it. The bosses are already talking about hiring it again.

Leeds Liverpool canal why dont we make it a tourist attraction. Cafes, mooring points for boats, a museum about the history of the canal at the side of it and maybe even tours along it as a natural history pointing out the wildlife etc along it.

Housing in the old mills? Where are the old mills that havent fallen down, that arent still in use for manufacturing or office space or shops, already turned into flats and apartments or vandalised so badly that the safest thing to do is to knock them down?

I live in Rossendale and there are a lot of people who live in the valley already who work in Manchester. They live here because they cant afford to live in Manchester or because they are the bosses and dont want to live in Manchester!
