188 Marsh Street frustrations

Although frustrated, we remain hopeful that we will receive news confirming the puchase of vacant and derelict 188 Marsh Street shortly. Following the purchase, the property will need to be demolished before we can begin works associated with the introduction of the main pedestrian access route onto the Green Heart Den.

The purchase is heavily reliant on:

1. Network Rail who own the property. We understand that this would be of mutual benefit to them as their property has been vacant for decades, is derelict, in very poor condition and an eyesore to the local community.

2. Barrow Borough Council who have been working hard to secure the purchase of 188 Marsh Street from Network Rail.
