About

Shadsworth and Intack is a ward in the borough of Blackburn with Darwen, lying to the north-east of Blackburn town centre. The area combines mid-20th-century housing estates and earlier residential streets focused around the Shadsworth estate and the adjoining Intack area. Local services include primary schools, community centres and small parades of shops that serve day-to-day needs, while regular bus services link the ward with the town centre and surrounding neighbourhoods. Council-managed parks and playing fields are scattered through the ward and are used for youth and amateur football.

Intack's name derives from the word "intake", reflecting the area's history of land taken into cultivation, and remnants of that agricultural past can be seen where housing edges meet open green corridors. The ward has a mix of council and privately owned homes, and community groups run projects from church halls and the community centre. Street patterns and local allotments make for an area where practical amenities, volunteer activity and straightforward connections to Blackburn's facilities shape daily life.
