To get a new, fit for purpose theatre and market in barrow in furness.
The people of barrow in furness have just found out that our theatre and market are being demolished with no clear signs of them being replaced. We would like to know when and where these are going to be replaced.
Westmorland and Furness Council have had many people voice their concerns about how Barrow is becoming less attractive to everyone, the people who live here and those who are visiting. Residents have voiced their concerns about how there is nothing left in the town, how BAE are taking over everything and shops and pubs etc close. We dont feel heard or have our questions answered. We need help to get our town back to what it once was and to get our theatre and market back!
