Blackburn with Darwen Council has joined calls with other councils to demand the government deliver on commitments to boost spending on infrastructure in the North.
The Council has lent its support to the Transport for the North’s “Northern Budget” campaign which aims to secure billions of pounds for the region in the next spending review.
