THREAT TO EAST LANCASHIRE


lif Clitheroe lurn Road,


|d. Midland door.


THERE are few areas in the country which have been as hard hit by the decline of one industry as were the East Lancashire towns by the rapid shrinkage of the cotton trade. So if any area needed and deserved Government help to win for itself new industries it was East Lancashire. Despite the pleas over the years, that help never came. Nevertheless these towns have fought back and pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps. They have dealt with re-housing and redevelopment problems (ironically the legacy of Lancashire’s foundation of the country’s prosperity) which the North West Study acknowledged to be far greater than those of other areas, and now many of these towns are busy rebuilding their centres. Wherever one goes one sees fine new shopping precincts arising, and the towns are giving themselves new looks and added interest. It may be. however, that they arc putting in all this effort to no purpose, into building fine mausoleums for dying com­ munities.


Rightful location


The reason for this fear is that the Government has proposed a new city. Not—as one might have expected


—in tlie area of decline, but to the West of it, in the already more prosperous Preston-Leyland-Chorley region. This would inevitably be a tremendous magnet, attracting industry, workers and all the amenities that are the attendant benefits of such a movement—a happy ending to one kind of “West Side Story” at least!

already congested and overstrained centres, such as Birmingham and London, is a good one, but if a new town has to be built in Lancashire the most logical location would be the old cotton towns of East Lan­ cashire, and if Preston has to be included then it should extend eastward from there rather than south­ ward.


The policy of diverting industry away Iront the The alarm now expressed by East Lancashire


towns is described by advocates of the plan as being “dog in die manger” barking. We would prefer to look upon it as a~ sound “watchdog” warning of the approach of danger.


Wishful thinking The hostile cridcism, say the advocates, is based on


the wrong assumption that there is only a certain amount of cake to go round, and they stress diat the new city would, in fact, make for a larger cake, In odier words they see the new city as a sdmulator of growth throughout the entire area (whether they would be so enthusiastic if die boot was on the other foot and they were just on the outside of a new town is another


matter)! But the fears of East Lancashire have already been , ,


justified from past exerience. The giving of aid to one area has not so obviously promoted growth in adjacent areas. There is in truth, alas, only a limited amount ot prosperity to go round, and the suggestion at this sta°e in our economic history—of a new city promoting general growth must be relegated to the category ot hiah-sounding talk with very little to justify it, tne product of brave but wishful thinking. It is tar more


likely to harm all towns on its perimeter. If the aim is to give all this region a bigger slice


of the national cake the intention is to be applauded, but why co to the trouble of creating a hew city (incidentally devouring yet more of our priceless acricultural land in the linking-up process) when there are acres upon acres of useful land, at present deichct or containing decaying property, crying out for redevelopment and renewal in the existing towns? There is no sound reason why the Government


should let towns like those of East Lancashire run down and at the same lime propose a new city to the west which will have all the inducements to attract


industry to itself. Test of sincerity If the plan's advocates really believe that the city 1967 Y

is intended to act as a growth point for the entire area, then they will have no objection to putting into practice what the East Lancashire towns claim—that they should have precisely the same aid as the new city in the way of incentives and development grants. The usual reply to such a suggestion is that the spreading of aid will dilute its effect, but if the proposed city is intended to revitalise the whole area then the objec­ tion will not, in this instance, be valid. Their willingness or otherwise to extend the aid to the East Lancashire towns will indeed be a test of
