Residents React to Fencing Around Forster Square Railway Arches

Bradford station arches got fenced off months ago. This was part of a new art project. People often slept rough there before. The Telegraph & Argus shared project updates, and readers then shared opinions on Facebook.

Carl Vale thinks fencing is good and he felt unsafe walking past before. Janice Shaw finds the station area depressing, describing it as unkempt and full of litter.

Theresa Stine believes the area now looks better. Pat Wardman disagrees and thinks it looks horrible! Jon Bowers worries about graffiti.

Dawn Chadwick thinks the art looks unfinished. Treacy Armstrong noticed different window heights. Mark Freeke joked about Henry the train, saying the arches need Henry looking over.

Paul Butcher wants shops, not art and thinks they could make money. He sees it as a missed earnings opportunity. James Fawcett-Lunn shared key information.

National Rail owns the station arches, and businesses can rent them. Renters must arrange utilities themselves. Justine Allinson thinks Bradford is not ready, though the City of Culture event is underway.
