Introduction England’s Northwest is home to a rich and varied natural landscape stretching from the uplands of Cumbria and the Pennines to the lowland plains of Lancashire and Cheshire. Approximately four fifths of the region is defined as rural with roughly one in six people living in rural areas. The Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) recognises the important contribution that rural areas make to the regional economy (£21 billion GVA) and is working hard to create dynamic rural communities that are financially, socially and environmentally sustainable. Working in partnership with key regional stakeholders we have developed ‘Rural Renaissance’, a comprehensive plan to rebuild the rural economy. Through an investment of £391 million over five years the potential for delivering real change is now being realised. It is widely acknowledged that market towns play an important role in the life of rural communities often acting as a catalyst for investment and regeneration. Through the Market Towns Initiative the NWDA is helping 17 partnership organisations to develop local solutions to issues facing their towns. Following an investment of around £18 million the benefits of social and community regeneration are now everywhere to see. A wide range of initiatives with a strong business focus are now being implemented helping the market towns to reach their full potential. The case studies illustrated in this document provide a flavour of the success story that is unfolding across the region, which is testament to the commitment of our local partners in helping their communities to thrive. By continuing to work in partnership we will ensure that our market towns and rural areas remain competitive.

Ulverston
When is a canal not a canal? – when it is a reservoir. The one and a quarter mile Ulverston canal, opened in 1796, only links the town with Morecambe Bay and as such is listed as a reservoir. Now it is a major element in the Ulverston Masterplan, the vital building block of the Lake District market town’s vision for the future. The canal, abandoned in 1945 and subsequently sold to GlaxoSmithKline for use as an emergency water supply, could soon become the new gateway to the Furness peninsula. Already used by walkers and anglers, the canal – no longer needed by the pharmaceutical company – could become the property of a development trust, formed to manage and ensure the waterway can be self-financing. The masterplan, published in autumn 2005, is acting as a blueprint for the town’s future, informing planning processes and providing clear evidence to potential funders. Its approach is holistic, linking commercial and cultural initiatives which will benefit local people and attract more visitors to the town. Also in the masterplan are proposals to develop a technology business park to allow the town’s specialist electronic industries to expand and create jobs. The site would deliberately exclude retail use. A business-to-business exhibition in the town’s Coronation Hall, the
launch of an Entrepreneur of the Year Award plus a wide range of business support training, including mentoring and marketing grants, are all designed to create a thriving economy and boost employment. Ulverston is also aiming to attract more visitors, adding to its existing successful programme of specialist markets and festivals, not least with the siting of the specially commissioned sculpture of Laurel and Hardy. Stan Laurel – real name Arthur Stanley Jefferson – was born in the town which already has a museum dedicated to the duo. A space outside Coronation Hall, which it is hoped will be developed to accommodate festivals, is the favourite. As a town whose market charter dates back to 1286, Ulverston has taken markets as one of its themes, holding a series of successful specialist charity, art and crafts markets, plus a food fair in the summer. The programme will become an annual event. The town’s cluster of fashion shops, selling everything from low-cost T-shirts to £500 handbags, has acted as a catalyst for the first Ulverston Fashion Week held in October 2006.

Penrith
London has a new rival for the 2012 Olympics – a market town in Cumbria called Penrith. Keen to build on its famous summer weekends Potfest in the Pens, the oldest potters’ market in the UK, and Potfest in the Park at nearby Hutton-in-the-Forest, the market town is going all out to stage the 2012 Pottery Olympics.
Residents are also a key concern of the Market Towns Initiative which has supported a different kind of guide, aimed at giving young people – many of whom do not return to Penrith after graduating from university - an insight into employment and development opportunities which exist locally.
It began in 2006, when Penrith town centre joined in the fun by staging ‘ Throwing a Banquet’, with two teams of potters creating everything from cups and saucers to candlesticks in a display which attracted big crowds.
‘Eden Ahead’, supported by local businesses involved in training and development activities, outlines opportunities for school leavers, including employers prepared to sponsor students through a degree course. There were 1,500 copies of the directory distributed to 16-19 year-olds through the town’s secondary schools in 2006.
The Potfest in the Pens – held in Skirsgill Auction Mart in Penrith – displayed the work of around 150 potters and Potfest in the Park attracted around 100 potters from across the UK, Europe and Australia. Now the ambition behind the Olympics idea is for the market town to make the most of its accessible location at the crossroads of the M6 and the A66 and to become central to events which happen in the surrounding area. Like the annual ‘ceramics trail’ of open studios across villages in the area, which Penrith plans to promote in window displays and create links with shops in the town, many of which appear in the Penrith Specialist Shops Guide. The Guide features 60 shops, many of them independent retailers from the famous Toffee Shop to the accessories retailer, The Dancing Peacock and includes galleries, antique shops and a sadler. Around 30,000 copies are distributed to visitors and local people.
And to ensure Penrith maximises its potential as a sustainable community, a detailed housing study, the first of its kind of an independent settlement in Cumbria, was launched in September 2006. The study, which has attracted the interest of DEFRA, was aimed at producing a better understanding of the housing and economy of the area. It will be used to make recommendations and actions in the regional planning and housing strategies.

Garstang
When it comes to spreading the word about market towns, Garstang has set its sights further afield than most – around 3,000 miles further. As the world’s first Fair Trade town, Garstang has twinned with New Koforidua, a village in Central Ghana which grows cocoa beans for the fair trade market. The differences between the two places could not be greater – New Koforidua has no running water and only an intermittent power supply. But by highlighting the plight of small farmers struggling against unfair trade rules, Garstang hopes to raise awareness and build on its own Fair Trade status, awarded in 2001. As well as the recognised benefits of learning about each other’s cultures and communities, the Lancashire town also hopes to establish a common link between the farmers in its surrounding rural area and those in the African village who both want a fair price for their produce. Many of the shops and cafes selling Fair Trade goods are in the town centre, where, like many of its market town neighbours, there are plans to improve access and parking, restore some of its historical buildings and monuments and spruce up its shop fronts by offering improvement grants. More visitors, many of whom were attracted by the successful arts festival in the summer of 2006, will be encouraged with a planned town trail with information boards and improved signage.
One of the biggest projects supported by the Market Towns Initiative (MTI) is the creation of the Rural Wyre Resource Centre, which opened its doors in early October 2006 ahead of the official opening planned for spring 2007. The £1.4 million Centre, which the MTI contributed £225,000, offers a huge range of services for parents and young people from early learning to health and family support. The Centre also provides employment advice to adults, providing new opportunities for parents and guardians who want to return to work or start up their own business. One aim of an audit of community facilities in the surrounding villages and a village hall improvement fund is to enable the Resource Centre to also operate in “satellite sites”. The MTI gave £10,000 to the Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue team towards a training room in its new Smelt Mill HQ on the outskirts of town, opened by the Duke of Westminster in August 2006.

Barnoldswick
Barnoldswick is flying high in its bid to promote a topclass programme of promotions and events to boost its tourism appeal, identified as an overlooked element of the town’s economy in a recent healthcheck. In 2006, it held the fourth “Balloons over Barlick”, a free community event where up to ten hot-air balloons take to the sky in daylight and darkness where they display a ‘night glow’.
Town centre retailers, encouraged to become part of the events, are being offered business advice and the chance to join specialist workshops. A retail expert will offer help in areas including window dressing, customer service, mystery shopping as well as accounting and employee rights. Improvements to the public realm, including pavements, flower beds and shop fronts, all aim to improve the town centre. And there are plans to draw visitors and users of the Leeds/Liverpool canal at Barnoldswick, into the town. A Community Chest – well-known to Monopoly buffs – is available to fund region-wide projects, which include a specific leisure initiative, after access to leisure facilities was highlighted by a Sport England study as a priority.
The weekend event, which attracted around 13,000 people, was supported by music and acrobatics and a festival of kites, made by local young people in specially organised workshops. The town has now appointed a Tourism and Events Support and Development Officer to work closely with the local business community and the Chamber of Trade to produce an annual programme which includes specialist markets. European and Christmas markets and a Made in Lancashire event, emphasising the town’s location close to the borders of Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cumbria, were all planned for 2006.
As a result, the West Craven Sports Centre became the first rural site in the country to receive Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) status, which is supported by former champion boxer Michael Watson who suffered brain damage in a world title fight. The region now employs an Inclusive Activator, whose role is to encourage people, particularly those with disabilities, to use the Centre’s facilities. The gym houses a treadmill, static cycle and other equipment which has been adapted for people with disabilities, including wheelchair users, and there is access to the pool for the disabled and elderly. The IFI has been so successful that West Craven will feature in a promotional DVD filmed by Sport England.

South Lakes Development Trust
In the heart of the Lake District, small businesses from “high up a tree to under the sea” are benefiting from a new Resource Centre aimed at helping them to grow. The independent businesses, which include a tree surgeon and a trainer in the use of under-sea remote operating vehicles, can access services offered by a new Business Resource Centre based in Windermere. They include administration, secretarial, book-keeping and copy and audio-typing. The Centre was established by the South Lakes Development Trust, a company set up to administer the Market Towns Initiative in the area covering Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside and Grasmere, as a means of developing long term sustainability and a strong sense of credibility and ownership. The Resource Centre was driven by the identified need to create new employment opportunities. By relieving the burden of administration on small businesses, which research shows often restricts their growth, it aims to help them to develop which could lead to job opportunities for people higher up the skills base. And it has also created seven jobs within the Centre itself. Local businesses are also to be offered a new consultancy and advisory service which can provide a ‘healthcheck’ followed by a ‘prescription’ of what may be needed to help them to grow and flourish in today’s market place. Four small incubator workshop spaces in the Business Centre, are available to start-up businesses who are also offered initial support.
To make those businesses and the area’s retailers available 24-hours a day via the internet, clickLakes, a new search engine for South Lakeland, is being developed. With a database which will eventually include all businesses and retailers in the area. It’s aim is to enable both residents and visitors to shop electronically and to develop business-tobusiness opportunities. Small businesses will receive support in designing a website and it is hoped to launch the portal before Christmas 2006. Away from the computer screen, and out on to The Glebe, the area of public land stretching down to the foreshore of the Lake at Windermere, the new ‘Bandstand’ is now a familiar site. Replacing the former Victorian bandstand is a modern performance area designed by local artists and blacksmith Chris Bramhall, who used skeletal trees under a leaf canopy to define the space. It was here that local people and visitors experienced the WOW factor – Windermere on Water – a weekend cultural festival in June. The partnership of the Market Towns Initiative, the National Park Authority, the district council, independent organisations and the community helped to make a success of the event – and set the scene for it to become an annual week-long festival.

Clitheroe
The Norman castle has dominated the skyline above Clitheroe for more than 800 years, and the breathtaking views from the old castle walls, may soon be attracting more visitors and providing a new community suite. The Market Towns Initiative is supporting a major £3.2 million scheme to provide more facilities at the castle and to make the Castle Museum more accessible. There are plans to create a café and restaurant which would offer panoramic views over the Ribble Valley and an education suite available for community use.
The Castle Museum, which is currently too small to host travelling exhibitions, would be extended and access to the North West Sound Archive, the largest of its kind outside London, would also be improved. The Archive houses collections of national and regional significance, which include BBC and Independent Local Radio (ILR) programmes as well as memories of cotton mill and canal workers. Future archives may record the sounds of Clitheroe’s new Juice Bar, a 21st century ‘youth club’ for 11 to 19 year olds which aims to open from 10am-10pm seven days a week. In its first year it attracted 75 permanent young volunteers, including students in danger of exclusion from school and some young offenders.
Already its influence is spreading across education, health, employment and volunteering in the town. The Juice Bar offers a ten PC computer room available for homework support, a healthy-eating menu using locally sourced food, the opportunity to learn new skills which enhance the chances of employment and a raised profile of young people willing to volunteer. The Market Town Initiative funded the £5,000 kitchen which will provide a full-time job – and the food and drink whose sales will help to make the Bar sustainable. Anxious to survive as a thriving market town in its own right and to avoid becoming a ‘dormitory town’ of commuters, Clitheroe has a range of schemes to improve the look of its centre, to increase its appeal to tourists and provide more for people who live and work locally. Fair Access to Services, a project to support rural businesses particularly with IT needs, offered specialist advice to 55 businesses, including help to farmers on completing cattle passport applications on-line, and gave assistance on skills needs to 58 businesses in the first 18 months.

Millom
Aspiration and inspiration is running through the fabric of the new Millom Network Centre. Built in the grounds of Millom School, it aims to attract post-16s in search of further education, training, skills, employment and the development of ideas.
In the future, the Centre hopes to provide the management for the planned new 25-metre four-lane swimming pool, for which a feasibility study was completed in 2006, and act as a community booking facility for a new all-weather sports pitch due to open in spring 2007.
For those who have already taken the first step in business, the £1.2 million Centre will offer help with ICT, and advice on growing and increasing turnover.
Regeneration and renovation are also key aims throughout the town. Millom Palladium – an early example of a Private Financial Initiative (PFI) when it was built in 1910 with the patronage of a local businessman – is one target. There are plans to reduce the large capacity of the main theatre to accommodate different art forms and exhibitions and to create sustainable uses for its upper floors.
The need for such a centre – a not-for-profit organisation with a partnership approach – was identified by the Millom and Haverigg Operational Plan. It listed such a project at the top of the market town’s agenda to address the need to provide improved further and adult education in the town and to slow the trend for young people to move away from the area. The Centre’s message to aspiring entrepreneurs is: “If you have a marketable idea, you do not need to leave Millom to develop it.” In September 2006, the Centre, which also houses office units and space for conferences and exhibitions, seminars, interviews and meetings, employed four part-time administrators to join the manager in preparing for its planned December opening. It has already developed links with schools, the family children’s centre, local businesses, agencies and the local population.

Shop fronts
Cosmetic surgery is alive and well in the region’s market towns – not the discreet variety but facelifts designed to attract attention. Many of the towns took a long hard look at their high streets and market places and decided to tackle the challenge of empty premises, shabby shop fronts and buildings in need of some “tender loving care.” One obvious way of helping owners of both retail and business premises to spruce up their buildings has been to offer grants of varying sizes and in some cases with different ‘match funding’ conditions. In Padiham, Lancashire, where the ‘shop fronts’ project is the first under the umbrella of the Market Towns Initiative, the aim is to attract quality retailers into the town by presenting an attractive environment. The town’s long main street houses around 100 retailers in properties which range from ten-year to 100 plus-years-old and a vacancy survey first carried out in 2003 is now updated every month to monitor progress. Photographs were taken of every shop as evidence for a ‘before and after’ portfolio.
The scheme is also acting as a spur to some retailers who are using their own initiative – and funds – to improve premises, like the owners of ten shops in one block who agreed to re-paint the exteriors. The grants are not confined to Padiham and over £250,000 has been allocated for the surrounding villages. The ‘facelift’ scheme has helped to reduce the number of vacant properties both in Padiham and also in Barnoldswick, where the local business community has supported a similar project. Grants have been provided there, not only to improve the external look of properties, but in one case to help a retailer to expand, by opening an internet café into previously vacant first floor space above his existing shop. Clitheroe and Garstang are also working on shopfront schemes and in Cumbria, Keswick’s improvement scheme allocates grants of up to £2,000 towards the enhancement of shop fronts or business premises. In Ulverston and Millom, Heritage Economic Regeneration Schemes (HERS) are helping to improve properties in the town centres.
Grants are available to fund 50% of eligible costs - which include stone cleaning, painting and upgrading windows to a maximum of £10,000. One of the first to be completed was a new business, estate agents The Dwelling Place, who transformed an empty dilapidated shop into a bright, attractive-looking business with the help of a grant.

Keswick
What does the Lakeland market town of Keswick have in common with New York, Toronto and London? The answer is they are all ‘business improvement districts’ (BIDs), with Keswick becoming the first such rural district in the country. The BID initiative, which started in the US, aims to provide local solutions to improve and manage defined local areas. It requires a business community to agree to contribute an extra 1% of their business rateable value to be spent on agreed projects which will benefit their town. In a ballot of businesses in Keswick, the majority voted in favour of every business rate payer of £2,900 or more, paying a 1% levy based on their rateable value, to be collected by the local authority on behalf of BID. The levy is expected to raise around £70,000 a year to support initiatives in the five-year business plan. The pilot stage was funded by the Market Towns Initiative but the BID limited company now operates independently. The early success has prompted many similar rural towns in the area to ask for advice on how they could follow the same route. One major improvement outside BID’s budget but supported by local businesses is the restoration of Derwentwater foreshore, a landscape which inspired and was celebrated by scientist, artist and poet John Ruskin and his contemporary Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley. The cleric campaigned for the foundation of the National Trust. Now an application for the restoration of the foreshore has been made to Parks for People, a three-year initiative by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund, to restore parks, gardens and amenity spaces in England.
The regeneration work in Keswick, delivered by the Keswick Area Partnership, also includes projects to improve skills levels and employment opportunities, to support business start-ups and expansions, to help with the promotion of locally-made products and to encourage companies to improve their premises under a business facelift scheme. The town’s families and children are also to be supported by a new Children and Family Centre, expected to be complete in late 2007. Following the Working Families Childcare Centre feasibility study and business plan, work is planned to start on the building in Keswick in January 2007. The new centre will provide outreach health and social care services, a crèche and training opportunities for parents with young children and an after-school club.

Carnforth
There is a new spirit of collaboration in Carnforth known as CARP – the Carnforth Regeneration Partnership – which is already showing results. Working on the findings of the town’s urban design study, the Partnership is influencing developers and landowners who are looking at projects in the area. It has even persuaded two supermarkets to look closely at their plans for expansion to ensure they comply with the overall aim for the town’s regeneration. Booth’s supermarket on the edge of town has discussed its plans to enlarge the supermarket and develop the site of a former petrol station at the approach to the store, in the light of the urban design code. Booth’s now has planning permission for a small development of retail, office and housing. Tesco supermarket, closer to the town centre, is also discussing plans for expansion. The urban design study highlighted three sites in the town ripe for regeneration; the town centre, a brownfield site next to the canal and the ‘steam town’, the remnants of the locomotive sheds prominent when Carnforth was famous for its railway, iron ore quarrying and smelting. In the town centre, the study identified two prominent buildings which could also benefit from both a facelift and new uses. They are the former Fire Station, which has a frontage on the town square and is currently “an
economically inactive space in the heart of town” – and the old Co-operative store building, currently used by the town’s Freemasons. Lundsfield Quarry - a brownfield site of which 70% is currently unused - was identified as a potential housing development area. It currently houses the local football club which itself has plans to join with the town’s rugby and cricket clubs to find a new HQ. The site is close to the canal, which for the second season has provided a regular boat service between Carnforth and Lancaster, serving both tourists and residents, happy for a leisurely, car-free journey. Operating one round trip per day, with a timetabled service for 150 days of the year, the service is integrated with local buses and trains and can also carry bikes. The niche market service is now being promoted by local hotels as one of the town’s attractions and the boat can be hired for special occasions.

Egremont
The gateway to Egremont, which has plans to illuminate the ruins of its prominent Norman castle, is seen as a key to revitalising the town, once synonymous with iron ore mining. Now its residents are more likely to be employed in the nuclear industry at nearby Sellafield, managed by the British Nuclear Group. But with some uncertainty around its future, Egremont is aiming to create a more diverse economy. The gateways and the economy were both listed among 22 projects identified in the town’s master plan – which later spawned a mini master plan around tourism - which is seen as vital in setting out a programme and its priorities. Improvements to the entrances to the town and its public realm, providing proper car parking, opening up access from the town centre via “rural corridors” aimed at walkers and cyclists are all in the plan. Working with the private sector to bring empty buildings in the town centre back into use and finding new uses for part of the industrial estate are also there. There is a planned Youth Works project and BMX bike track, a skills and entrepreneurship project and INBIZ, an initiative which in its first nine months helped five people to establish their own businesses. Two wheels and a 50cc engine are making all the difference to dozens of youngsters, keen to learn, train or work but hampered by lack of transport in rural areas. ‘Wheels to Work’ has provided mopeds to ninety 16-20 year-olds in Egremont. The scheme, initially a pilot by the youth organisation Cumbria Connexions, has enabled young people to stay in education for A-levels, sign up for college courses and apply for parttime or full-time jobs which involve travel. Young people are assessed against strict criteria - one of which ensures the scheme does not undermine existing rural transport provision – before being given basic training, equipped with helmet, protective clothing, a copy of the Highway Code and the moped - for six months. After that youngsters are encouraged to take a driving test for a bigger bike or car or consider joining a car share scheme. Most people travel an average of 20 miles each day on the moped with, some using the ‘wheels’ as a link – riding to a station for a train to college further afield – or to access jobs in the hospitality industry, often involving shift work. It has been welcomed by both employers and trainers. In September 2006 the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) agreed funding to expand the scheme across Cumbria and into parts of Lancashire and Cheshire.

Frodsham
‘They’ are making life better in Frodsham, Helsby and the rural parishes. ‘They’ are Frodsham Forward, the community-led partnership supported by Vale Royal Borough Council who adopted the slogan to encapsulate their aims. Proof comes in the completion of the £2.2 million restoration of a mansion house, given to the local authority by its private owners in 1932, to create Frodsham’s first One Stop Information Shop. Castle Park House, once derelict, is now home to a wide range of services, highlighted in the town’s original ‘healthcheck’ as vital. Frodsham Forward itself is now based there along with Job Centre Plus, the local housing trust, Business Link, the Council for Voluntary Service (CVS), Age Concern and the Citizens Advice Bureau. The local council now operates from the one-stop-shop on a full-time basis handling enquiries on a range of issues including benefits, environmental operations, planning application assistance, leisure and tourist information. But the building also houses SME accommodation which achieved its 75% pre-let target before the April 2006 opening.
The facility, whose basement was transformed into a cyber café, also offers structured learning for the community and businesses within a learning centre and meeting and conference space. The renovation project has proved a catalyst to wider regeneration in the park and a £4 million Heritage Lottery Fund bid has been submitted to restore the gardens. Another restoration project under consideration is that of Frodsham Waterfront and of the now disused Frodsham Lock, also known as Boden’s Lock. British Waterways are closely involved with the scheme for which a feasibility study is planned. Christmas has become an extra-special time in Frodsham where 2005’s third annual festival attracted over 15,000 visitors. The two-day event, which includes street entertainment, live music, craft markets and a reindeer parade, has developed and improved each year, drawing in hundreds from outside the area as well as local families.

Cockermouth
“The best of the old and the best of the new” is Cockermouth’s approach to the renaissance of the market town. It seems appropriate once you know that almost 2,000 years ago the Romans built the fort of Derventio close by and there are now plans for a 21st century town centre ‘ideas factory’. At the heart of the initiative to revitalise the town lie the plans for the Market Place, the historic core of the town overlooked by the Town Hall, Jennings Brewery and Percy House, Cockermouth’s oldest surviving town house which dates from 1390 and now houses a gallery. It is an ideal setting for the specialist ‘Made in Cumbria’ summer markets which the town has successfully introduced, the first of which attracted over 1,000 people. They proved that residents and visitors are willing to put the Market Place back on their map if the attraction is right. A master planning exercise identified the importance of a pedestrian-priority scheme for a network of roads in the town centre. In the Market Place itself, there are plans to narrow the carriageway to offer a more people-friendly approach and allow some retailers to ‘spill out’ onto the pavements.
Representatives of CABE, the government’s advisers on architecture, urban design and public space, have joined local authority members of a steering group to agree that designs should include locally sourced and recycled materials wherever possible. And in the newly-created environment, Cockermouth wants to build on its existing cluster of creative businesses, which already include several galleries which attract many visitors. The ‘creative’ approach is also being taken to how and where Cockermouth addresses the 21st century problems faced by many market towns which include changing demographics and the environment. The town’s now vacant former toy museum is to be the new “ideas factory”, acting as the hub for plans to solve at least some of those difficulties. The centre is encouraging local architects to work with young people to develop the space in a cross-generational collaboration, and is also offering placements to post graduates in design or architecture. It hopes to stimulate the local arts community by holding a series of workshops exhibitions and events in the building throughout the year.
