Preston council election candidates go head-to-head on Guild Hall and cuts as city heads to polls
With local election day looming this Thursday , the Local Democracy Reporting Service put the leaders of the main parties in Preston head-to-head to debate the big issues in the city.
“We can have a big say [over] the…[operators] within it, [but] obviously, for it to be sustainable and get the return as needed…we do need some national restaurants. It’s not like it’s retail. There will be a number of independent businesses in the street food hub…[which], crucially…will be very much linked to our markets. So it is, I think, quite distinctive.
GETTING THE GUILD HALL BACK – BUT AT WHAT COST? As the Local Democracy Reporting Service revealed earlier this year, the end of a legal wrangle over the circumstances in which Preston City Council retook control of the Guild Hall from late businessman Simon Rigby in 2019 – five years after transferring it to his company for £1 and 12 months before his death — has paved the way for the venue to reopen after a four-year hiatus.
“It’s been a long and uncomfortable road, but we can’t say anything about it. But it is good news that we’ve got the Guild Hall back. I’d like to see [us] look at [it] being a registered charity or something along those lines. We do need the Guild Hall – I do recognise everybody feels the same, that it is so important to Preston.”
