Lancashire County Council is working on a multi-million pound restoration of the grade-II listed building – closing off parts of the car parks a few levels at a time.

Project manager for the Bus Station revamp Andrew Barrow said: “We had hoped that this could be ready ahead of schedule for UCLan’s graduation week, but this has not been possible due to an unscheduled issue, which is now being resolved.

“This means that there will be fewer spaces than usual during next week. People may need to make alternative arrangements during the graduation week, as this is usually a very busy time.”
