Programme

10.30: Registration and refreshments.

11.00: Welcome and Introductions

11.10: "Learning from Castleford": Building on the recently shown Channel 4 series "Kevin's Big Town Plan" that looked at the challenges and successes of regenerating Castleford, we are very pleased to welcome to the Colne Valley several of the key people involved in the project to talk about their experience and enable Marsden and Slaithwaite to learn from it. This promises to be a hugely inspiring session.
