But the public will have to wait until August to see which of the five has been crowned the winner.

£13 million is being spent on the Youth Zone and changes to the Western apron of the Bus Station, before a further £10 million is ploughed into repairing the grade II listed building.

Of the 4,215 votes cast there were 3,829 online votes and 386 votes cast at the exhibition held on Thursday and Friday last week at the Bus Station.

Public votes count for 10 per cent of the overall decision on the winning design.

County councillor Jennifer Mein, leader of the county council, said: “Thank you to everyone who took the time to come along to the exhibition or vote online.

“We’re delighted by the level of public interest in these plans for a multi-million pound new youth zone, alongside one of Lancashire’s most striking buildings.

“I think that any of these designs would be an excellent addition to the city. I’m looking forward to finding out in the summer which of these great designs has been chosen by the judges. We’re hoping to see work starting on the site next year to create an exciting new centre for young people.”

Here’s the five shortlisted designs…
