National Action Projects

Blackburn with Darwen

We are working with Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council on curriculum development and community cohesion in regeneration.

The project aims to:

  • Establish a credible and respected forum, representative of all the communities in the borough to engage and inform town centre development.
  • Develop connections with local schools and work with Blackburn College to jointly develop curriculum materials about place-making and the town centre, making use of materials developed through the Milton Keynes project and other ASC resources.
  • Embed community cohesion within the town centre masterplan and develop best practice in this area which can be used to influence the masterplanning profession through future policy making.
  • Work with English Partnerships to develop standards and/or a kitemark to ensure community cohesion and diversity policies are embedded into the procurement process.
