Preston Wish List

Random yet fun post! Thought I’d play town planner for the day & list what I’d like to see in Preston’s city centre…Here’s my personal Top 10…

1. A whacking great big kid’s play area, on the scale of Withy Grove Park Play area in Bamber Bridge, with a skate park, BMX ramps, fountains, picnic tables & cafe for families.

2. An independent cinema.

3. Cultural quarter with subsidised artist’s workshops, offices, an exhibition space and shop.

4. Tramlines, cycle routes & zero traffic.
