Rossendale Borough Council
Key Competitive Attractions
Rossendale is part of the Forest of Rossendale, consisting of steep-sided valleys either side of the River Irwell, which flow from the Pennines southwards to Manchester – a mere half hour journey away. Within an hour’s drive of several major population centres, Manchester airport and Liverpool Docks, our communications are enviable.
Rossendale has a population of just under 70,000, a strong history in Industry and manufacturing, and extremely attractive property costs, making it a smart location in which to invest.
We work to ensure that there are sufficient business grants and support available to assist both new and existing business, including affiliation with the Pennine wide LEGI funding with Blackburn, Darwen and Rossendale councils.
See the Pennine Lancashire Development Company's listing for more information.
