New developments at AFC Darwen
Local Liberal Democrats have welcomed the news that planning permission has been granted for new facilities at the Anchor, the historic home of Darwen Football Club. The new facility will offer space for teaching, conferences and a sports bar and is part of wider plans to create a state-of-the-art new sports village. It is part of the "Darwen Town Deal", which initially sees £750,000 being in various schemes across the town.
