BYE BYE Grosvenor ... BYE BYE Tithebarn

Just two days after Grosvenor pledging its support along side Lend Lease and the other partners, Grosvenor pulls out of the project. Grosvenor have said this is down to restructing. Some would say its down to the fact the people have been granted a say through a public inquiry and the opposition from many groups to the Tithebarn project; there is also the application for the listing of the bus station expected to be decided in the next two months...

Business chiefs described the news as a " huge blow " Opposition to the destruction and private developers carve up of Preston see another victory.

BYE BYE Grosvenor, Good Riddance!

The Fight Continues over the future of Preston Centre!!!

Published Date: 14 October 2009

Developers have handed Preston's £700m Tithebarn dream a boost after pledging to fight a public inquiry into its future. But despite the backing of Grosvenor and Lend Lease there are fears renewed attempts to have the bus station listed could still kill off the project.

Preston Council chief executive Jim Carr said the Preston Tithebarn Partnership (PTP) made it clear in a meeting with town hall chiefs it was still committed to the project, despite the Government calling it in for a public inquiry.

It follows weeks of fears that the developers could pull the plug on their involvement because of the expense involved in fighting the probe, due to be held next year.

Mr Carr said: "The Preston Tithebarn Partnership is still fully committed to making this happen. We are meeting again soon to talk about our tactical approach (to the inquiry)."

A new attempt by the 20th Century Society to have Preston's landmark bus station listed could destroy the scheme. The Department of Communities and Local Government is expected to make a decision in the next two months.

UCLAN executives have blood on their hands who else...?

Should UCLan, an institution that is meant to generate knowledge for the public good, invest in or conduct research for the arms trade; whose business profits from legalised murder?

Other collaborators, the staff? the students? Do these people have blood on their hands?

Thanks to all of you that attended the 'Hustings' held this evening at Jalgos. It was attended by approx 50-60 members of the community (not many under 50's I must add). Anyway, only 1 of the 3 candidates standing for election for the Fishwick Ward, attended; Luke Bosman of the Liberal Democrats. The other 2 sent apologies on the grounds that they had prier engagements. Luke did his best and considering he didn't really have any prior knowledge of Jalgos or our local African-Caribbean Community, he stated that he and his party were both impressed and motivated by what we had told them tonight. Cllr Mark Jewel- Lib Dem and also LCC MP also voiced his support for our cause and pledged his parties support to help us raise our profile in fighting the CPO etc., It was a fruitful evening as we managed to win some important allies and prove to ourselves that we can make a difference with effort.

Many thanks also to Cllr Michael Lavalette for chairing the event and for Mr.Walker and Jalgos.
