PLANS to redevelop a run-down part of Nelson moved a step forward after possible solutions were discussed with officials from a national charity.

Lord David Shutt of Greenland and Coun Tony Greaves, (Lord Greaves) members of the Whitefield Regeneration Partnership, met Prince of Wales Regeneration Trust and Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment representatives at the House of Lords.

They discussed ways in which they can get involved in the regeneration of the Whitefield area of the town.

Lord Shutt said: “We had a very friendly and constructive meeting and discussed ways in which the Prince's organisations might become more involved in a practical way following the collapse of the regeneration scheme for the boarded-up streets.

Coun Greaves said: “A lot depends on Lancashire County Council’s decision in the next few weeks on whether to build a new school off Every Street.

“Meanwhile Pendle Council is getting on with the renovation of two blocks of housing on Every Street, and advance planning is taking place for four other terraces between Manchester Road and Every Street.”
