Business in Rossendale

The Council is proactive at encouraging the growth of your business

 

By 2033, the Rossendale economy will show strong and sustainable growth, with improved connectivity as a ‘bridge’ into Lancashire from Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. The Invest in Rossendale brand will be firmly established within the business community, attracting growth sector businesses to our employment sites with access to a skilled labour supply, creating well paid jobs for local residents. Rossendale will be known in the sub-region and beyond for its Adrenaline Valley offer and cultural experiences. Residents will have improved life chances and achieved greater economic success through the provision of enhanced employment, skills and educational opportunities. Rawtenstall, Bacup and Haslingden will be well known regionally for their unique offers and be strong destinations for shoppers and visitors.

Posh Living in Rawtenstall Bus Station is now OPEN! It's wonderful to see a business relocating their established business into Rawtenstall.

The fit out of this shop has been made possible by LCC's Lancashire Economic Recovery Grant and a contribution from RBC.

Have you seen the wonderful news that Rawtenstall has been named one of the best places to live in the North West?

Following our unsuccessful Levelling Up Fund bid, the government have announced in their budget today that Rossendale WILL be receiving almost £18m towards regenerating Bacup & Rawtenstall Markets, tackling the gyratory, and upskilling our residents. We are thrilled!!
