Trebor Developments handed the keys over to Burnley Council on the completed Phase One development at Vision Park at the official launch of the new business facilities.

Phase One consists of a range of quality industrial units from 1,500 sq ft to 5,000 sq ft, which will be available on flexible terms.  Several units are already under offer.

Trebor is promoting Phases Two and Three for office accommodation and hybrid industrial/office units to meet occupiers’ specific requirements.

Plans are being drawn up to create a pump track as part of wider improvements at Calder Park as Burnley Council continues working with residents to support their campaign to improve the park.

Burnley Council officers are meeting to discuss the design for a pump track as part of the next phase of the redevelopment of this park which is located off Pendle Way in Ightenhill, adjacent to the River Calder.

Campaigners are working to raise the £15,000 or so needed to fund the track – and are hoping for help from local businesses.

Work has begun on the restoration of the pavilion and boathouse at Thompson Park, Burnley, as part of a wider £1.2m Heritage Lottery-funded project.

The boathouse will be transformed into a café that will allow people to stay in the park for longer and enjoy views of the boating lake and play area. 

Burnley Leisure Trust will be managing the café and the space inside will be transformable for activities and groups that the trust runs.  There will also be extra seating on the terrace and new storage units for boats and kayaks.
