Why is Bacup & Stacksteads the only area in Rossendale to have been targeted with this funding?
The Bacup & Stacksteads area was identified for Housing Market Renewal initiatives because this area is characterised by: • A predominance of small pre 1919 terraced housing creating limited and unsuitable housing choice • A growth in private sector landlords • High vacancy rates or high quantity of abandoned and poorly maintained propertiesThrough addressing the Bacup & Stacksteads area a knock on effect for the whole of Rossendale is anticipated.
