Alleged ‘rundown’ state of Preston city centre blamed on car policies and cost-of-living crisis

The candidates were probed about how they would ensure the city could “thrive again” – and many of them were as keen to diagnose what they saw as the the problem as they were to prescribe a solution. Alliance for Democracy and Freedom representative David Brooks said the “vast amounts of money” being spent on “net-zero nonsense” was the reason so many places – and people – were struggling. In Preston, he said that was manifesting itself in measures which made life difficult for motorists.

“We want to be building more renewables and…insulating homes across the country. It’s a brand new industry that we can be kickstarting – and we’ve got a really exciting opportunity to be at the very heart of that here in Preston. “There are two areas of this country that are still doing well – London, which is large financial services, and particularly Northern Ireland, which has remained within the single market. We need to take a lesson from that,” Mr. O’Meachair added.

Preston’s most recent MP – of 24 years – Sir Mark Hendrick claimed Preston “only has a future under Labour”.
