The council document says Nelson s Pendle Rise presents a poor image of the town . The draft blueprint to revive the town will be considered by Pendle Borough s Policy and Resources Committee on Thursday night. It will be a key element in a bid for up to £25million for Nelson under the government s Town Deal Fund. The draft masterplan says upgrading Pendle Rise, which after seven years in limbo was taken over in August 2017 by a new company which was liquidated in January 2019, is the key to reviving the town centre. The document says: As the principal retail, service and administrative centre for Pendle, the ability to change perceptions and create an exciting new future for Nelson, requires the transformation of the town centre.
