Summary

[edit]
Description

Preston City Council are today debating the future of Preston Bus Station, following an online petition which secured 1,435 signatures from residents of the city, Campaigner John Wilson said he will use his five-minute address to councillors to call on them to give local people the final say on the future of the building.

He said: “I feel I am representing every one of the people who has signed the petition and I believe they should be the ones who get the final say.

“I have called this petition a referendum on the future of the bus station and 80% of the people I have spoken with have said they believe it should be kept in use.

“2012 is an important year for Preston, it is our first Guild as a city and there will be thousands of people coming through the bus station.

“What are they going to think of it at the moment?”

He will tell councillors there is millions of pounds set aside for the doomed Tithebarn in funds for the redevelopment of the area and improvements to transport in Lancashire which should be spent on improvements to the building.

Speaking after hosting a ‘listening event’ on the bus station last week, council leader Peter Rankin said: “The bus station is obviously a building which divides opinion and we want to listen to all sides of the argument.”
