A long-running campaign for lifts at a railway station has suffered a setback after a council said it could withdraw its financial contribution.
The lifts at Pokesdown Station, near AFC Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium, have been out of use for more than 40 years, according to campaigners.
In 2021, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council pledged £2.6m to support work by South Western Railway (SWR) and Network Rail.
However, the council said it could no longer justify the expense due to increased borrowing costs.
The 42 steep steps at Pokesdown Station have caused injuries and are a barrier to wheelchair users and others.
