Speaking at a meeting at Preston City Council coun Brian Rollo said: “We are opening up Penny Street car park to take some of the overflow but inevitably there will be a lack of car parking for some time.”

Car parks will also be opening up for late night Christmas shopping on Thursday and Sunday nights to cope with December’s festive shoppers.
