IMPROVEMENTS to the safety and security of Blackburn Railway Station are set to be made.

Blackburn with Darwen Council, alongside the police who will be opening a station there, are working to install CCTV cameras along the subway which runs between the ticket office and the platforms.

Council officers also hope that the Peel Holdings development next to the railway station will lead to additional parking and vehicle access for people using the railway station.

Details were presented to a meeting of the overview and scrutiny committee.
