Rural Economy Study

This North West Development Agency funded project looked at West Lancashire’s rural economy. 

Information contained within the WL Rural Economy Study proved extremely useful in securing Rural Development Programme for England funding, lead by West Lancashire Borough Council Officers this was secured in partnership with neighbouring authorities South Ribble, Chorley and Preston and is more commonly referred to as the Lancashire West LAG (Local Action Group).

Not all actions identified within the Rural Economy Study are deliverable due to various constraints, including the current funding climate, but the LAG programme is able to deliver much needed support to our small rural businesses and community organisations.
