'These lorries take up almost the full length of the road, they’re that long'
The boss of a 130-year-old Preston business says customers are being driven away – and staff driven to distraction – by lorries blocking the tiny cobbled street on which it is based.
“These lorries take up almost the full length of the road, they’re that long – we’re losing business because nobody can get in to us,” Kirtsy explained.“ shouldn’t be on any kind of side roads at all. One has already crashed into our building it was backing up – we thought we’d been bombed or something, the whole place shook. Lots of them also have refrigeration units – we can’t concentrate.”
She told the LDRS that one of the most frustrating aspects of the experience is that nobody from Lancashire County Council – which is responsible for the Friargate works – has been out to see for themselves the impact on such a well-established business. County Cllr Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for highways and transport, said the county council “really appreciate how patient our business community and the public have been during the construction phase of this project”.
