Value with Room to Grow

Blackburn South & Lower Darwen offers a strong local economy and excellent access to healthcare, supported by a very low flood risk. Residents will appreciate the high affordability and the strength of the local job market, with a significant proportion of working-age residents employed. However, opportunities for outdoor recreation and access to cultural venues are limited, and the neighbourhood’s selection of local amenities is currently quite low.
