The scheme, which started last month, will include the refurbishment of the concourse, new street furniture, increased disabled parking close to the station and a larger public short-stay car park.  

It is part of a wider transformation of the town centre including the £1 million revamp of Market Square. Meanwhile work is also underway at Guildhall Shopping Centre and the derelict former Co-op department store in Gaolgate Street.

Stafford Borough Council leader Aidan Godfrey said: “We have hit the ground running in 2025 and ‘Project Stafford’ continues to get us excited. 

"I hope residents and businesses will be as positive for the future as we are, with the scheme at the railway station on track and work also going ahead on preparing the Guildhall Shopping Centre and former Co-op to attract developers and bring more investment into the town centre.”
