Lancashire video marketing firm films showcase to win back visitors after lockdown

Rachel Bayley, Burnley Place Brand Manager, added: “It was important the videos showcased the incredible high streets we have to offer in Burnley and Padiham. Both are very different but fantastic shopping and leisure experiences. We’re proud of the fact that locals have supported their high streets during these difficult past 12 months, but it’s great to see people out and about once again, being as safe as possible and having respect for their fellow shoppers and businesses.”

In April this year, an additional £56 million from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) was made available to English councils as part of the Welcome Back fund.

The funds are designed to enable local authorities like Burnley Borough Council to put in place additional measures to promote a safe environment for local trade and tourism, particularly in high streets as their economies reopen.
