A ROADSHOW came to East Lancashire to highlight how English Partnerships will invest in the area in the future.

The agency, which invested £78 million in the North West last year, will become part of the North West Regional Development Agency when it is launched next year.

Officials from English Partnerships visited the Dunkenhalgh Hotel at Clayton-le-Moors to highlight its work.

"We have helped initiate or been behind many of the most exciting developments in the region in the last few years," said Jim Gill, regional director.

"We like to take a partnership approach and work closely with the different sectors."
