A COUNCILLOR today called for immediate action after it was revealed spelling errors on timetables at Burnley's new multi-million pound bus station were still there -- more than a month after the facility opened.

Bosses were left red faced after the errors were pointed out at the futuristic £3.2million station which finally opened its doors to the public on August 25, seven weeks behind schedule.

However, despite the errors being dismissed as "teething problems" by council bosses, the mistakes, including Hampton for Hapton, Pandleside instead of Pendleside and Worsthore rather than Worsthorne, are still present.

Today Trinity ward Coun Tony Lambert said: "Something should have been done about this as soon as the errors were pointed out. One would have thought the council would have been keen to correct what was really an embarrassing clanger. I shall certainly be making enquiries as to what they are planning to do about it and when."

One of the signs proudly welcomes visitors to the new development with the crests of Lancashire County Council and Burnley Borough Council, and the logo "Hold to the Truth."

The flagship development provides an indoor waiting area, 18 departure bays, electronic display boards, tourist information centres, a newsagent, toilet facilities and a taxi rank.

The buses will now be moved off the adjacent roads on to the new site between Centenary Way and Croft Street.

Highway improvements are set to last for a further week at least.

The bus station has been jointly developed by Burnley Council and Lancashire County Council since October 8 last year.

The original works were expected to take 40 weeks, which would have meant completion in the first week of July, but then the delays came.

Principal architect at Burnley Council Andrew Rolfe has admitted the 40-week tinselled was a bit ambitious for such a major project.
