BLACKBURN COLLEGE
The £90 million masterplan is now complete with 15,000 students studying in town. A £13.5 million sports and leisure centre is also open to the public and students.
BLACKBURN TOWN HALL AND LIBRARY
Blackburn and Darwen Council’s £9 million investment in its heritage buildings with refurbishment of Blackburn Town Hall and Library has brought beautiful stone and brick buildings back to their former glory and improved the streetscape.
THE NORTHGATE CULTURAL AND LEISURE AREA
A new £10 million Reel Cinema complex is to open close to King George’s Hall, a 2,300 seat music and entertainment venue in Spring 2020 which will complement the £3 million Heritage Lottery project already underway in the area. The refurbishment of heritage buildings is creating opportunities for complementary independent retail, bars, restaurants and an art gallery.
