Barrow Rising: More Than Just A Vision
3rd February 2025

Barrow-in-Furness is embarking on an ambitious journey of transformation and renewal with the launch of the “Barrow Rising” initiative. This aims to make Barrow a better place to live, work, study, visit, and invest. The initiative unites current and future projects under one inspiring vision, empowering the community and showcasing what makes Barrow unique.
At the heart of Barrow Rising is a commitment to improving housing, education, transport, and community wellbeing. Major projects are already underway, with significant investments being made to enhance the town’s infrastructure and services. The initiative is driven by Team Barrow, a collaborative partnership of local government, national government, businesses, community organisations, and residents. Together, they are tackling challenges and unlocking opportunities for growth and investment.
The Barrow Rising campaign is more than just a vision; it is a collective story of ambition and renewal. It aims to lift the town to new heights, providing a chance for every resident, business, and visitor to play a role in shaping Barrow’s future. With millions of pounds in investment, the initiative promises more homes, more jobs, and a growing university, all contributing to a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.
