What is Elevate?

Elevate East Lancashire is one of the government's housing market renewal pathfinders. It has been asked to find innovative solutions to the problem of low demand, negative equity, and housing market collapse in towns across East Lancashire, including Hyndburn.

A major part of the programme will focus on improving the quality and diversity of the housing stock in the towns, but the challenge is greater than that.

Sustainable neighbourhoods and a healthy housing market will not be created through housing renewal alone. Elevate is working with public and private sector partners to improve economic prosperity, the environment, community safety, cohesion, educational attainment and health, to make East Lancashire a place where people choose to live, work, visit and relax.
