Picking up the bill for Preston's infamous Fishergate Bollard

It was recently revealed that accidents involving Fishergate Bollard has left County Hall thousands of pounds out of pocket.

Two claimants were paid £2,744 and £2,284 for the damage done to their cars.

Fishergate Bollard was first cemented into place in 2014 as one of six pedestrian markers at the busy junction of Preston’s main shopping street with Corporation Street and Butler Street.

Council staff say they have lost count of the number of times it and its five fellow markers have been hit by traffic at the busy intersection.
