The news of the closure of the Visitor Centre at Carnforth Station by the Station Trust has come as a shock to the whole Town.Whatever the reasons for the closure, Carnforth Town Council will play an active part in trying to find a positive outcome to the situation, but we wish to make it clear that the Town Council does not have the financial resources nor the management capacity to take over the running of the Centre.
What we can do, however, is to facilitate discussions between all interested parties, including Northern Rail, their agents, Arch, and the City and County Councils, with the aim of identifying all possible options to reopen the Centre.
As these discussions progress, we will keep local residents and businesses fully informed through our social media platforms and website. We will also provide any further update at the Full Council meeting on Wednesday 16 October.
