An organogram detailing the individuals undertaking each role within the Project Board is provided as Appendix O. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council have delivered a number of major transport projects costing over £5m in the last 5 years. A summary of these projects is provided below. Further details can be provided if required. Pennine Reach – a £40m DfT funded capital scheme to provide quality bus infrastructure, technology and improved bus services across Pennine Lancashire. Completed in Spring 2017 the project included new roads and junctions, two new bus stations, bus shelters and customer information systems. Some delays and cost overruns due to the Blackburn bus station main contractor going out of business mid-project and a new contractor having to be appointed. Delays were also experienced due to unidentified and unchartered utilities. Wainwright Way – an £11m DfT and Council funded scheme to deliver a new stretch of the Town Centre Orbital Route and open up new employment sites. Completed in Spring 2016 the project was complex and involved demolition of a listed building, demolition and replacement of a church, demolition of an older people’s home and sensitive excavation and professional archaeology of a former Victorian churchyard with reburial of over 2000 sets of human remains. Estimating the numbers of remains within this unique project for the Borough proved difficult due to incomplete records and discovery of multiple burials in single plots. Archaeology and related costs increased and were borne by the Council. M65 Junction 5 / Haslingden Rd Growth Corridor Pinch Point – a £5m joint project with DfT and Highways England (funded from LA and HE Pinch Point funding) the scheme enabled carriageway widening from M65 Junction 5 into Blackburn and also signalling and carriageway works on Junction 5 itself. The project involved land purchase and the use of sensitive traffic management
