Hyndburn Council were forced to put this high profile regeneration scheme on the back-boiler after it was rocked by a funding crisis (FUNDING! CRISIS! Hm, seems to be a subject which keeps rearing its ugly head, eh?

According to yesterdays papers, £820,000 has been secured from English Partnerships, a national regeneration company, to help get the scheme back on track!
Plans to buy homes in West Accrington for demolition were put on hold when the North West Development Agency, known as NWDA, pulled £600,000 out of Project Phoenix, leaving the residents wondering what on earth would be happening. Apparently if you live in that area, you get offered £30,000 relocation grants. Some residents have already moved, but more than 100 homes have remained unpurchased so any plans the owners had, went "out of the window". Now they can, hopefully, start planning again. Good luck to them, I would HATE to HAVE to move home, eh?
