£3.4 million is being spent on the street to make it a better space for pedestrians, with cars being confined to a single lane in the centre.

It’s drawn criticism from many Prestonians, with one councillor describing the new high street as a “death trap”.

A picture tweeted by Councillor John Swindells on Monday night drew a quick response from a number of Prestonians.

Work is still continuing on the bottom end of Fishergate near the train station and along Corporation Street.

All work is expected to be finished by November.
