PERMISSION has been granted for Barrow AFC to build a camera platform at the club's ground as the side competes in the football league.

The Bluebirds have started their first season in the football league in nearly half a century, with more of their matches due to be broadcast live on TV.

The club put forward plans to build a steel-clad camera gantry on top of the roof one of the stands at Bluebirds' Holker Street ground in Wilkie Road.

Barrow Council has now granted permission for the proposals.
