Lancashire County Council has moved onto the next stage of its roadworks outside the Guild Hall.

Bus stops in Lancaster Road opposite Jacson Street have closed while improvement work is carried out on the section between Church Street and Jacson Street.

Passengers who use these bus stops are being urged to catch their bus from Preston Bus Station instead.

A spokesman for the county council said: “We apologise to people for any disruption while this improvement work is carried out.

“People will need to head to the bus station to catch their bus, until the new bus shelters have been installed and they re-open.

“Businesses are expected to remain open during this work. When we’re carrying out work directly outside people’s doors, the work has been planned to fit around their opening hours where we can. This should reduce any disruption, as we did during the Fishergate  improvement work.”
