A NEW bench has been installed in Darwen town centre.
The bench, which replaces one removed from outside the Post Office during regeneration work last year, was ordered by Blackburn with Darwen Council to improve the environment for shoppers.
Coun Alan Cottam, executive member for regeneration and environment, said: “The bench was ordered as part of the town centre street furniture.
“It was not installed because we wanted to make sure we found the best place for it.
“We asked the people of Darwen where they wanted it to go and this was the most popular suggestion.
“It was decided that it should go round the tree opposite the Post Office at The Circus because it will be well used and is set in a nice environment.”
