“Unacceptable” and “must do better” as Preston records highest rough sleeper count since records began
With uncertainty once again being the only thing certain about the Guild Hall’s future, the city council announced plans earlier this year to make use of the foyer, which can hold 500 guests and has previously operated as an venue in its own right. At February’s budget meeting, deputy leader Martyn Rawlinson said the hope was the area could be brought into use sometime this year.
“I’m not asking for a big MEN Arena type of thing, but just something that’s the centre of Preston, it’s really important to people who live . “We’re standing behind the Guild Hall, we want it open again, but…it’s not always that easy when we have issues around financing around finding things like RAAC in the roof,” Cllr Brown said.
“What we need in Preston, more than anything else, is actually a conference venue. So we need to plan for what’s next – and to do that, you have to have an idea. If the money becomes available, or an opportunity presents itself, you can grab it and say, ‘This is what we want for our city.’
