The Restoring Preston Basin campaign proposes the restoration of the 300 feet (91 metre) long Preston Basin of the Lancaster Canal, repurposing the site of the 19th century basin as a 21st century multi-purpose amenity, recreational and biodiverse space.
In April 2024, the campaign partnered with Create Streets, a design practice, town-builder and think tank, to demonstrate what a repurposed Preston Basin could look like, complementing the indicative plans for the 'University Walk' quadrant of the Preston Station Quarter Regeneration Framework: www.investprestoncity.com/Key-projects-strategies-and-plans/Preston-City-Centre/Preston-Station-Quarter-Project.
