Our transformation journey
Barrow Rising is more than just a vision – it’s our collective story of ambition, transformation and renewal.
A movement that unites Barrow’s current and future initiatives into one inspiring campaign. A campaign to empower our community and showcase everything that does and will make Barrow unique.
Our plan for Barrow
Our 10-year plan for Barrow sets an exciting and ambitious vision for how we’ll transform this extraordinary town into a thriving place where people love to live, work and visit.
By 2035, Barrow will be a thriving, prosperous town where our people flourish and grow.
Team Barrow
Our Barrow Rising journey is powered by Team Barrow, a collaborative partnership of local government, national government, businesses, community organisations, and residents.
Together, we are creating meaningful change, tackling challenges, and unlocking opportunities for growth and investment. The team, and its Board, will ensure we stay on track, coordinate resources, develop ideas and maximise impact for the whole community.

Our manifesto
Barrow is built on strength.
We’ve enjoyed the good times
And dealt with the tougher ones.
Always coming out stronger.
Now Barrow is rising again.
A once-in-a-generation chance,
Sparked by the National Endeavour.
Facing new challenges head-on.
Taking Barrow to new heights.
Lifting us all.
With Barrow Rising as our rallying cry,
We’re bringing together every project and plan.
Solving problems. Spotting opportunities.
Building a future we can all believe in.
A future for everyone.
We’ve been here before. But this time, it’s real.
Millions of pounds will make a difference.
More homes. More jobs. A growing university.
Fresh energy wherever you look.
And we’re just getting started.
To everyone who does and will call Barrow home,
This is our moment.
Our chance to build a better future.
For us and generations to come.
A future we can all be proud of.
This is our town.
This is our time.
This is Barrow Rising.
