THE future vision for a town centre has been praised by the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce.
Plans for phase two of the £5.4million Spinning Point development in Rawtenstall were published just before Christmas. Plans were lodged to transform Rawtenstall’s neglected Valley Centre in Bank Street into an 80-bed hotel.
Miranda Baker, chamber chief executive, said: “The chamber are delighted to see new investment plans coming forward for Spinning Point in Rawtenstall town centre. This kind of council-led development has the potential to significantly increase the economic and social success of the town centre as a viable and thriving community hub, bringing new businesses across leisure, hotel commercial and retail premises and boosting quality town centre accommodation.”
