The fight to protect a piece of land from being bulldozed for new housing continued this week after residents created a Community Interest Company, and took their concerns to a town council meeting. On Tuesday night, people living in Darwen attended the virtual Darwen Town Council meeting, with Darrener Mark Radnedge speaking on behalf of the newly formed not-for-profit CIC, set up to protect Bailey's Field off Ellison Fold Way, which has been earmarked for a 343 residential housing estate. Bailey's Field in Darwen Mr Radnedge asked the council, particularly those who also sit on Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council's planning committee, for the chance to raise funds to purchase the land, which they have also nominated as an asset of community value (ACV).
