A chance for Fulwood residents to have their say about the area’s history and heritage is being held.

Fulwood’s Conservation Area is up for renewal and Preston City Council is running a drop-in event.

From 10am to 12noon on Wednesday 22 November at Sharoe Green Library you can share your views on the notable buildings and architecture of five key parts of Fulwood.

Cabinet member for planning and regulation councillor Peter Moss said: “The character appraisal of Fulwood conservation area is part of an ongoing programme of reviews. Consultation will give an opportunity for the community to engage with the heritage of the Fulwood conservation area and promote an understanding of the need to preserve its character and appearance.

“I’d like to emphasise that conservation area status doesn’t mean that development can’t take place, but that design takes on a much greater importance when considering planning applications.

“I would encourage all local residents to take part in the consultation and we will be holding a drop in session on 22nd November.”
