THE Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway is progressing its‘Project Sittingbourne’ programme of improvements to Sittingbourne Viaduct station.
With almost £10,000 already invested in new palisade fencing between the station site and the skatepark/former mill, additional security measures are being installed to prevent further vandalism and improve the visitor experience.
The project, aided by a £26,500 Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage grant, will provide a second station entrance with disabled access (the existing entry involves a 23-step steel stairway) and proper toilet and hand wash facilities at the station.
The developments must be completed by the end of March.
