Indoor market redevelopment gets New Year green light
Demolition is set to begin on Preston’s Indoor Market in the New Year to make way for a Muse-led £50 million cinema, leisure, and retail development, after local firm Bradley Group secured a £1.5 million contract to clear the site.
Following a competitive tender, Preston Council chose Bradley Group to carry out the works, which will include extensive asbestos removal, drainage works, repairs to some existing structures, and demolition down to the existing ground floor slab of the 1960s Indoor Market. The existing multi-storey car park will also be demolished, although parking will be available at the site until Christmas.
The façade of the existing Lancastria House will be retained as part of the plans. The Indoor Market is gradually becoming vacant with existing traders being decanted into the newly-constructed covered market, completed by Conlon earlier this year.
