THANK you for asking the general public about our views on the new bus station.
The first consideration should be about all the inconvenience the closure of it is causing everyone.
Why has it been closed before concrete arrangements were clarified and financial arrangements settled?
The two main shopping food stores in Lancaster are next to the bus station, most shoppers live out of town, consequently we all go to the bus station (as not everyone has transport).
The buses only go to Queens Square, then we have top walk down to the main shops and carry heavy shopping bags back to the market entrance for the bus home.
Why can't the buses come along to Chapel Street and pick up again as the bus station area is like a ghost area?
Where the market area is an accident waiting to happen with buses lined up and heavy container lorries trying to get through to M&S and the garden shop.
So, until the powers that be get their act together and decide what they are going to do.
They ought to re-open the bus station.
It is not long ago that Lancaster was given a government grant of £31 million, so where has it all gone, or have I missed something?
