We'd love to do everything but can't so we've selected a few areas.There was nothing overly clever about the way we chose the areas.

The reason that Blackburn Rd was identified is because it is part of the Elevate area and Elevate are sponsoring part of the project.

I agree there are some wonderful shops on Warner St but they're not undergoing any sort of regeneration programme at the moment like Blackburn Rd is.

and Oswaldtwistle was chosen because I live here and got the funding for Oswaldtwistle.
