As plans are approved for a fifth incarnation of the discount chain in the area, one councillor expressed worry that the city was becoming a 'single shop destination'
Is Preston becoming a 'single shop' destination? That was the concern raised by one councillor as Preston City Council's planning committee waved through plans for yet another Home Bargains in the area.
And while the proposal was backed by every member of the committee, one councillor raised the issue of “diversity” within the local retail scene. Noting the number of Home Bargains already trading in and around Preston, Cllr Ben Ward said: “I’m slightly concerned we’re becoming a single shop destination.”
