A SHORTLIST of five different tenders for Lancaster's derelict Kingsway site has been drawn up by the city council.

A total of 13 different development companies expressed an interest in developing the site following the collapse of the previous deal with Chelverton Properties.

A city council spokesman said: "We're looking to ensure that this time we get a scheme which is workable.

"The number of responses obviously demonstrates that a lot of companies want to do business in Lancaster."
