The Evening Post published a story yesterday that the recommendation of the consultants was to refurbish the bus station. To add a touch of mystery it is alleged this part was deleted at the request of Lancashire County Council (LCC) before it was shown to Preston Council.
In their defence LCC said the cost of £23m was way outside budget and that the option was also outside of the scope requested.
It has been suggested by others that a refurbishment could be done for much less. In the absence of any artists impressions or plans for the proposed new bus station it seems Preston Council and the public are being asked to support what could be a pig in a poke.
