In Hyndburn, we have been working closely with local communities and stakeholders to develop the plans for the area, and thanks everyone who has been involved.

Two Safer, Greener, Healthier Streets projects in Hyndburn will provide improvements to local streets to make travel easier, and helping make streets safer and more accessible for everyone.

Developing the plans for Hyndburn

Since autumn 2023, we've worked together with the local community to develop the final proposals. The insights from these activities helped us shape and improve plans to deliver schemes that matter most to local people.

We worked with local stakeholders and communities to co-design initial plans. We then carried out wider engagement, including workshops and route visits, to understand local community priorities for the proposed interventions.  

As part of the engagement process for the Safer, Greener Healthier Streets projects in Hyndburn, we met with representatives of the Visually Impaired Forum in the area.  We spent time understanding the challenges that the Visually Impaired (VI) community face. Members of the project design team were given visually restrictive glasses and canes. They used the equipment to experience some of the challenges while walking around the area to understand how the designs could be improved for people with visual impairments. This was followed up with a workshop where key aspects of the designs were discussed. 

In summer 2024 we shared plans over 6 weeks to gather feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, including local residents, businesses, and community groups. We explained the designs on a dedicated website, held in-person events, and sent postcard invites to local residents and businesses to ask for their views. 

We used the feedback received and findings of the survey to make changes,  address any concerns where possible, and improve plans.

As a result of working with and listening to local communities, the proposals for each area are tailored to what people have told us is important to them.
