The operation of a recently pedestrianised route on the edge of Preston city centre has been rethought – over concerns that it could damage the very businesses it was designed to help support.
However, Lancashire County Council says since it agreed the “prohibition of driving” rules in February 2023 – following a public consultation – it has received conflicting representations from businesses which have caused it to reconsider the details of the new arrangements. He added that the idea of experimenting with the revised restriction for a period of 18 months meant that its impact and effectiveness could be kept under review to ensure that it did not “prejudice the good work we’ve done by pedestrianising the street” – including by harming traders.
