BUS stops across Darlington are to be upgraded in a bid to get more people using services.
Many shelters have become targets for vandals and centres for gangs of youths to congregate.
But yesterday, Darlington Borough Council's environment scrutiny committee heard that moves were afoot to improve dozens of sites.
About 35 bus stops have been installed with security cameras, in both rural and urban areas.
Raised kerbs have been put in place at 16 sites and more will follow, while the information available to passengers at bus stops will also be improved.
