A new bus stop is set to be installed in Preston city centre, because of demand created by shoppers attracted to the market area.

Lancashire County Council’s cabinet has agreed to establish the additional drop-off and pick-up point – complete with shelter – on Lancaster Road, just north of Tenterfield Street. The location – opposite the Palatine House office building and outside a row of shops – is currently a double yellow lined area, where parking is outlawed.

The objector called on County Hall to consider a shorter clearway or the relocation of the bus stop entirely to outside the former Great Times restaurant elsewhere on Lancaster Road, where a stop was previously positioned. It was claimed this would be “far more convenient for passengers coming from the market”. However, a report to cabinet members by county council transport officials stated neither suggestion was possible.
