Demolition of Gosport Bus Station
Transcript
00:00A very important day for Cosport. We've been talking for 27 years about demolishing this bus station.
00:06Long last we're getting on with it. We've provided a new bus station, we're getting rid of the old.
00:11It's been an eyesore for way too long and in its place we're going to put a brand new people's park
00:16with wonderful waterfront views across Portsmouth Harbour.
00:20New bars, wine bars, bistros, restaurants, bringing real life into Cosport.
00:25New entertainment facilities, more jobs, more money into the town.
00:30It's part of our £38 million regeneration plan for Cosport and this is a key day that really kicks it off and gets it moving.
00:40Long time coming but very important to be getting on with it now.
00:43It's going to be very quick, we're not going to hang around having waited so long to get the old station down.
00:49This building will be down within the next couple of weeks or so.
00:52We then start immediately on building the new people's park, landscaping it, putting in grassed areas, new trees etc.
01:00That will all be finished by Christmas and then straight in the new year we start on constructing the new restaurants, bars, bistros,
01:08new toilets including changing places facility, new ticket office for the ferry company as well.
01:15And I would hope all of that is going to be open and operational by next summer.
01:19We've waited as I say so long we're not going to wait any longer.
