Hi – welcome to the blog of HORRA – Haslingden Old Road Residents Association. The Association was formed in response to the felling of over 70 trees behind Haslingden Old Road in Rawtenstall by Hurstwoods property developers.
The members of HORRA are upset and bewildered by the removal of these tress and the subsequent loss of wildlife and shelter. The trees provided a haven for wildlife, shelter and a natural backdrop to the neighbouring superstore development – not to mention protection against soil erosion and Carbon dioxide sinks.
The Association hopes that by working with the various authorities and companies involved, they are able to combine their resources and undoubted commitment to the community to restore the trees and the natural environment which the tress created.
