A Lament for Lancaster
SAVE Britain’s Heritage, the national group that campaigns to protect buildings at risk, have weighed in to the debate over the redevelopment of Lancasters Canal Corridor. They say “SAVE challenges Lancaster City Council not to put short-term economic gain ahead of long-term sustainability. If the city’s aspirations as the ‘Bath of the north’ are to be met then a sensitive, conservation led approach to new development must be adopted. This insensitive scheme would blight the city, damage its special character and endanger its long-term economic future. It must be abandoned.”
The group have created a slideshow - A Lament for Lancaster.
That can be viewed on the SAVE Britain’s Heritage website.
SAVE have put in an official objection to the scheme which will be heard by the local planning committee at a special two day hearing on the 13th & 14th of October.
