REMADE , which stands for REclamation and MAnagement of DErelict land, has been set up by Lancashire County Council in partnership with the Northwest Regional Development Agency as part of the Agency’s commitment to tackling the region’s derelict land problem. A quarter of all derelict land in England is located in the North West and it is a blight on people’s lives, harms the image of the area and deters investment.
Lancashire has over 2,400 hectares of derelict, under-used or neglected brownfield land. This dereliction, made up of former industrial sites, quarries, old railways, disused reservoirs and tips, can be very harmful to our environment. It can be a source of pollution, a hazard to people living nearby and makes an area look run down and neglected. It also has an adverse economic impact, reducing property prices and making the area less attractive to visit and invest in.
REMADE is a multi million pound programme with a target to reclaim 300 hectares of this derelict land by 2011. The following pages will show how we are meeting this ambitious target.
