A Government grant will be used to spruce up King William Street in the town centre - making it a greener and more attractive environment for shoppers
Benches on Blackburn 's main shopping street will be replaced or repaired as part of works to spruce up the retail thoroughfare - while the three main entrances to The Mall shopping centre will be given an environmental makeover. The improvements are part of a £737k transformation of King William Street in the town centre - which will take just 10 months to complete.
“The pilot programme provided £237,000 of funding to 10 areas to test different activities aimed at reviving traditional high streets. Blackburn was selected as one of the 10 pilot projects. The King William Street High Street Accelerator Partnership, comprising of key stakeholders, was established in January 2024 to help advise the council on developing projects to address footfall, the loss of traditional retail, and improve the night-time economy.
“The level of funding is modest given the scale of challenges and opportunities, but the funding will complement and support delivery of a variety of other planned capital projects. Blackburn town centre already has a strong track record of delivering projects of this nature, and a good understanding of the challenges of King William Street, so it is very much the expectation that the project will provide positive outcomes.
