Episode Details

.Throughout districts in England, there are areas of deprivation and a key responsibility of the local authority in that area is to construct a plan that provides a tangible plan as to how that deprivation can be tackled. With Chief Executive, Rose Rouse of Pendle Borough Council, we discussed how Pendle has successfully regenerated key sites within its district and provided advice as to how this can be replicated by other councils. Pendle is an area that has feasibility challenges of development and there approach has made difficult projects a success. What is also interesting is the creation of new super districts as a solution for future local government reorganisation; and the continued need for investment in both place and people to address deprivation. A thought provoking conversation.
