Eric Wright gets bus station contract

PRESTON-based Eric Wright Construction has been appointed as the new contractor to deliver the new Blackburn Bus Station.

This follows the departure of Thomas Barnes as contractor for the project.
Blackburn with Drawen Council’s executive member for regeneration Cllr Phil Riley said: “I am delighted that Eric Wright have now been appointed.

The company is  keen to get on site as soon as possible to complete the construction and will be working closely with Capita. It is now the plan to complete the bus station in line with the neighbouring Cathedral Quarter development.”

A Capita spokesperson said: “We are pleased that Eric Wright has been appointed as the new contractor for the bus station. We look forward to working with them as they build our designs for a first class bus station for the people of Blackburn.”

Eric Wright is currently setting up their site office and work will start shortly.
