What happened
Lancashire County Council agreed to lead a station project in Burnley. The scheme, which was announced as part of a Levelling Up Fund bid, involves improvements like a new footbridge and lifts to provide step-free access at Burnley Manchester Road station. The £3.4 million project was agreed upon by Lancashire County Council in 2022, but no work has started four years later.
Why it matters
The project was initially described as 'shovel-ready' when Burnley Council secured funding under the Levelling Up scheme. The delay and questions over the funding status raise concerns regarding the timely execution of public infrastructure investment in the area.
