Ashley Price, secretary of Lewes Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Chamber has now set up a campaign to save the bus station, or at the very least, if it is to be demolished, that another one is built on a suitable site, and the Chamber is involved in the discussions and plans.”
The Chamber has also created a poster which will be popping up around the town and they hope others will display the poster to show their support.
Ashley added: “I will be popping round to shops in the town with posters to put in their windows and we also have a paper petition which, hopefully, some will be willing to have for customers to sign.”
