Work continues on demolition of James Street pool in Carlisle | News and Star – News & Star
FRESH pictures have been released as the demolition of the pools in Carlisle continues as part of the railway station ‘gateway’ project.
The £28million project aims to support the growth of passenger traffic, making the station more user-friendly and accessible, as well as prioritising green transport options.
The old 1970s pool building on James Street and the empty Staples building are being demolished as part of the project.
Cumberland Council has said that the project is ‘steaming ahead’ and has reiterated that the historic Turkish Baths have been separated from the project.
A spokesperson for Cumberland Council said: “The Pools has been separated from the Turkish baths, as this project will not impact on the Turkish Baths – we are working with ‘The Friends of the Turkish Baths’ to ensure positive outcomes for this building.”
Work is set to continue on the station gateway project into 2025 and is part of a wider regeneration plan for the city centre.
