Security has been stepped up
at the former Park Hotel in Preston after it was allegedly vandalised by youths who have been spotted repeatedly roaming around inside the derelict property.
Details of the attacks on the much-loved piece of Preston’s history come just days after the latest plans for its future emerged. A stalled attempt to restore the 140-year-old venue to its long-forgotten glory and bring it back into operation as a hotel appears to have been abandoned after a new blueprint was put forward to create 440 apartments on the site instead.
That proposal was approved by lancashire-county-council>Lancashire County Council’s development control committee in January 2019 after being put on the table by the The Local Pensions Partnership , a joint venture between County Hall and the London Pensions Fund Authority – but no visible progress has been made on it since.
The new proposal – and the vandalism that has befallen the venue – have saddened one born-and-bred Prestonian with fond memories of the Park Hotel. As a young trainspotter, David Bunting, 79, would set up camp on the covered glass bridge that used to connect two of the railway station’s platforms directly to the hotel car park.
