'Other projects show old buildings can have new uses'
Campaigners are calling for a historic but vulnerable Nelson town centre building to be saved and regenerated as Pendle Council looks at options which could include total demolition.
In very recent years, there have been refurbishment ideas linked to Nelson's town centre regeneration and possibly using some of the £25million Nelson Town Deal. He added: "Trafalgar House is an important part of the £25 million Nelson Town Deal designed to revitalise the town. The deal states the project is about improving local buildings or assets, and bringing back into use vacant or underutilised sites.
"PEARL, and other partners has done it before successfully elsewhere with grant support including Northlight Mill at Brierfield and the properties in Whitefield conservation area. Local people are asking the council’s executive not to turn their backs on Trafalgar House. It’s a battle worth winning, not losing, for our town."
