The city will get a new nighttime look
Part of Preston city centre is to get a new night-time look with the installation of dozens of distinctive streetlights.
Preston City Council says this will help create the “appropriate ambience and mood” within the individual public spaces the project will span – and act as a natural guide through the area’s attractions.The new lighting – in the form of new and replacement columns and wall and canopy lights – is also intended to reduce antisocial behaviour and minimise energy use.
Meanwhile, the main fittings of 10 wall lights will be replaced on Lowthian Street, Orchard Street, Market Street, Market Place, Friargate and Anchor Court. A report outlining the reason for their decision concludes that the changes will not have “any detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the Market Square Conservation Area”, nor on assets like the Grade II-listed Harris.
