Working with transport providers inside and outside Lancashire to create better connected infrastructure that links opportunity to need and delivers travel choices that are safe, inclusive, affordable and low carbon.

Our ambition is that Lancashire becomes internationally recognised as a leader in the creation of ‘green jobs’, building upon our world class engineering and manufacturing capabilities. 

Digital and Cyber

Working throughout Lancashire to improve our digital infrastructure and knowledge-based industries, aiming to modernise and balance our industrial sector.

Culture and Tourism 

We recognise the fundamental importance of our culture and tourism assets and are working with stakeholders across Lancashire to strengthen these. This work includes the creation of a Local Visitor Economy Partnership to help further develop the region’s visitor economy.
