Phase 1 of the project on the triangle has been completed, now ready for the second phase next week. Plus the usual litter pick.

Work has started on what will be a new paved area at the entrance to Moss Lane car park, which will feature the BR double arrows in red brick. This project has been kindly funded by Leyland Rotary and is being built as part of the Railway 200 celebrations
