What Now for the Tramway?

Lancaster's disused Tramway pub on St Leonard's Gate, owned by Mitchells and in a sorry state of repair.

This is just one of several properties owned by Mitchells that appears to have been left to rot, a victim of continuing uncertainty over the future of development of the "Canal Corridor".

As we previously reported, just before Christmas the government rejected plans for a a huge retail-led development that was fiercely opposed by local people and various heritage organistaions such as SAVE.

Lancaster City Council has begun all-party talks to discuss the area's future, which include development partner Centros, pressure group It's Our City and local political parties.
