On 26 February the Preston Social presents an opportunity to discuss the proposed demolition of Preston Bus Station and Car Park.

The devastating news that the Bus Station would be bulldozed to save a few quid was announced recently. This alarming information galvanized long term-campaigners and people who previously hadn’t shown support for or against the place and acted as a catalyst for digital reaction.
