Transport & Parking Survey
We need YOUR input!
As part of the Canal Quarter redevelopment strategy, Lancaster City Council is considering the permanent closure of both the upper and lower St Leonardgate car parks, along with other city council car parks in the area, in 2026. This move aims to pave the way for new housing developments, which could potentially impact businesses in the vicinity.
YOUR opinion matters! Please take a moment to share your feedback. By participating in this brief survey, you'll help us assess the potential impact of these proposed changes.
Your contribution is invaluable to us. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey and for sharing your insights.
Sincerely,
Lancaster Footlights & Grand Theatre
Update: New Foyer Appeal
While our historic theatre is beautiful, it faces challenges that modern needs require. Upgrading the foyer and adding new spaces will improve accessibility, performer facilities, and provide rehearsal, workshop, and additional storage areas.
Although ticket sales support ongoing operations, they’re insufficient for large capital projects. We will continue fundraising and seek grants to make these improvements a reality.
Any development will align with the City Council’s Canal Quarter plan. So far, we’ve raised £675K, with £175K spent on initial design and investigation. Estimated build costs are £3M.
