There's been reaction from preston_partner BIDPreston and political parties of all colours to the prestguildhall news:
– a 100-member organisation that works closely with Preston City Council and the University of Central Lancashire – said that the venue’s absence was an obvious gap in the ongoing “cultural renewal” of Preston, which has been spearheaded by projects like the refurbishment of the Harris Museum and the creation of the forthcoming Animate cinema and leisure complex.
“What Preston’s done well over the years is [develop] a city living strategy – there are a lot more people living in the centre of Preston, young people who need something to do. Mr. Chesworth, who chaired the Towns Fund Board which secured £20.9m in government regeneration cash for Preston in 2021- including for a Youth Zone – said that the chance to improve the “functionality” of the venue should also be seized.
Conservative group leader Sue Whittam said she was “pleased that we have reached the best agreement we can and I’m looking forward to the next chapter in the Guild Hall’s future for the benefit of the residents of Preston”.
