Lib Dem councillor Roy Davies says Blackburn College should build student accommodation in Darwen.
He said: “People say it’s too far for students to travel, but if flats were built in the town centre it’s only 50 yards to the station.
"We’ll get more people in the centre, using services, and the more of these developments that come online, the more Darwen will start popping.”
