A WEBSITE has been launched to help support shopping in Haslingden.

Rossendale Council bosses have been working with a design company, Osprey, to develop a new ‘brand’ for the town as part of the Haslingden Task Force initiative.

The aim is to boost the town’s economy.

Cllr Alyson Barnes, leader of Rossendale Council and chairwoman of the task force, said: “Haslingden has a lot to offer local residents and visitors to the town and the new website and promotional materials highlight the town.

“It will also provide lots of information about what to see and do.

“The website is for everyone in Haslingden and we hope people will provide information and help to keep it vibrant and up to date.”

The new site can be seen by visiting www.visithaslingden.com.
