Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, GB Active Living Hub

In Progress

The council is working with Lancashire Wildlife Trust (LWT) Myplace and Sport England to restore a cluster of greenhouses at Witton Park. A crowdfunding campaign is raising money to handle the initial renovation of the buildings. LWT Myplace is also sourcing used furniture and equipment to stock the long-abandoned greenhouses. The completed project will house vegetable gardens, outdoor activities, and a community space that make the park more inclusive.
