COUNCILLORS in Burnley have given the green light to a £375,000 investment to make improvements in the town centre.
Winston Robinson, engineering manager, said: “Improvements to the pedestrianised areas of the town centre will help ensure it is modern and attractive, but more importantly it will help to boost both the day time and night-time economies of the town.”
The improvements will include replacing street furniture such as seating, re-paving the surface and renewing the planters.
The council is also considering installing amenity lighting to light up buildings, similar to the system used to light up the railway viaduct next to UCLan/Burnley College.
