A GROUP is being launched to promote and improve services at Middlesbrough railway station.
The Friends of Middlesbrough Station will support the efforts of Middlesbrough Council, rail operators, Middlesbrough Town Centre Company and the private sector to improve facilities.
Councillor Brenda Thompson , who is involved in setting up the group, said: "It is well known that the station has long been a matter of concern for the town's image. That is why the group will take a positive approach, encouraging the station owners to make what improvements they can, as quickly as they can."
She said work had already started to restore the station, and that future work will include security cameras, new doors and passenger helpers.
The group will meet about every six weeks. To join, call Middlesbrough Council on (01642) 729504.
