Old Northampton bus station to be demolished March 15th

C&D customer DSM has set the date for the Northampton Greyfriars demolition as March 15th.

Northampton will see an exclusion zone setup around the Greyfriars building on the Sunday, with local residents evacuated beforehand as a precautionary measure. Then a controlled explosion will be used to bring the structure down.

Although inconvenient for residents, the removal of the building opens the way for new development. The site is expected to be made ready for such redevelopment later this year, with Northampton Borough Council investigating exactly what is the best use of the land going forward.
