Another vision for London Road

People who live and work in a busy street can have their say on what they would like to see in the area.

Another London Road Campaign (ALR) is staging a community planning event at the Calvary Church, next door to Preston Circus fire station, on Tuesday. The drop-in session is designed to help build a picture of London Road by listening to the aspirations of local people.

There are redevelopment plans for the northern half of the area, which include a new three-storey Tesco, the demolition of everything in the block bounded by London Road, York Hill, New England Street and New England Road, including New England House, a 950- space car park, other new buildings and a return to two-way traffic in many of the surrounding streets.

Karen Gardham, from ALR, said: “Since May we have been holding meetings telling people what Tesco was planning. Now the scale of their plans has been revealed and it’s even worse than we feared.
