Construction Trends in Rossendale
Rossendale's town centres are sharing more than 50 million pounds of external funding, including nearly 18 million pounds from the Levelling Up Fund. In Rawtenstall, the market returned to council management in 2025 ahead of a multi-million pound refurbishment due to complete in 2026, alongside public realm work around the St Mary's Way gyratory. In Bacup, the former Barclays building has been demolished as the council explores wider town centre improvements after redesigning its original Temple Court market hall project, while Haslingden's market is being redeveloped with a new covered food stall seating area. Away from these schemes, established areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
