A SET of deteriorating footpaths on the outskirts of a town have been upgraded thanks to cash from the firm building a new housing estate.
The Public Rights of Way in Darwen around Cranberry Lane have seen major improvements thanks to wider development work underway at Cranberry Fold.
Blackburn with Darwen Council has carried out the improvements on Jacks Key and Clough Street footpaths, thanks to funding from developer McDermott Homes.
Blackburn with Darwen Council’s director of place Martin Eden, said: “I’m so pleased about these improvements at Cranberry Lane.
"The past 12 months have really shown the value of walking and cycling for residents’ activity and wellbeing, and work like this is essential to enable people to safely make the most of their neighbourhoods.”
