THREE organisations behind a major development in Carlisle city centre have refused to rule out knocking down a prominent art-deco building – sparking a strong response from readers.
Carlisle City Council, Cumbria County Council and the University of Cumbria were all asked about the future of the Woolworths Building on English Street.
There are fears the building could be knocked down to make way for the £50m plans to turn the nearby Carlisle citadels into a new university campus.
The plans for the development were unveiled in May last year. The three partners in the development issued a statement in response to the question, which did not deny that the Woolworths Building could be demolished.
