Removal Companies : Darwen, Lancashire

Darwen is a market town and civil parish in Lancashire, England, extending onto the West Pennine Moors. Along with its northerly neighbour, Blackburn, it forms the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen - a unitary authority area. The town is spread along the route of the A666 road, with Blackburn to the north, and Bolton to the south.

Darwen is found in a large valley strung along the A666 along the valley floor. Darwen is connected to the motorway system at Junction 4 of the M65 motorway, and so takes a lot of passing traffic. As Darwen is situated within a valley there is only one major route in and out of the town, therefore much of the traffic passes through the town centre itself along the A666, this therefore creates heavy traffic at peak times, this caused high levels of air pollution creating an issue which the local council who have recently attempted to address the situation by adding a new road layout to the town centre with public transport and junction improvements to reduce traffic.
