A bid to allow key workers to live in accommodation that was purpose built – and reserved exclusively – for students in Preston appears to have stalled.It is six months since an application was lodged with Preston City Council for permission to change who could rent a room in Leighton Hall, at the heart of the city’s university quarter.
But the authority says there has been “no apparent contact” regarding the proposal since then – and so it has “finally disposed” of the application. That means the council considers the matter closed and the status quo – of Leughton Hall being a student-only facility – is maintained. It added: “This is despite considerable upgrades to the over the last 17 years and an ongoing programme of improvements. A recent change in the managing agent has also been made to drive increased occupancy and improve the overall attractiveness of the hall to incoming students.”
