The fight to protect a piece of land from being bulldozed for new housing continued this week after residents created a Community Interest Company, and took their concerns to a town council meeting. On Tuesday night, people living in Darwen attended the virtual Darwen Town Council meeting, with Darrener Mark Radnedge speaking on behalf of the newly formed not-for-profit CIC, set up to protect Bailey s Field off Ellison Fold Way, which has been earmarked for a 343 residential housing estate. Bailey s Field in Darwen Mr Radnedge asked the council, particularly those who also sit on Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council s planning committee, for the chance to raise funds to purchase the land, which they have also nominated as an asset of community value (ACV).
