Transforming Hyndburn

A strategic plan for local economy growth. The plan details a variety of projects and initiatives that will improve environmental quality in Accrington Town and encourage sustainable growth for the local economy over the next 10-15 years. Over 30 projects were initially put forward for inclusion in the plan, these were analysed and scored. The plan lists the projects which are recommended for Accrington in the future.

What is a proposed TCIP?

Through collaboration and expert advice. After a successful tender process, consultants and ex-treasury economists, Bradshaw Advisory, were appointed by Hyndburn Borough Council to create the Town Centre Investment Plan. The proposed plan has been shaped by the Hyndburn community through two partnership boards, polls and strategic input from experts using evidence and data.

How was it created?

As a basis for future bids and investment.

Why was it created?

If fully implemented the proposed TCIP is predicted to generate £9.6million for the local economy each year, entice 820,000 visitors annually and support hundreds of new jobs. The journey to creating the Proposed TCIP involved analysis of impact, projected return on investment and compatibility with the requirements for various funding bids, such as the Levelling Up Fund.

A lot! Vision, project ideas and evidence. Alongside lots of data, analysis and information about Accrington, the document explains a vision for ‘The Accrington Acre’ and lists 18 projects for the town centre, explaining why they met the criteria to be included. The plan has heritage and environment as a central theme, building on Hyndburn’s past for a prosperous future - with Accrington at the heart.
