Entry to the new car park is from Tenterfield Street, and the exit is via the service road to the rear of Lime House on to Ring Way.

Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety at Preston City Council, Councillor Robert Boswell, said: “This new car park is a great addition to Preston and allows easy access while shopping in the city centre.

“The short stay period is perfect for picking up your weekly shop from Preston Markets and visiting the local businesses on Orchard Street and the surrounding areas. It is great this opportunity has arisen for this temporary car park, which I’m sure will welcomed by many people.”

The Council says the former indoor market area isn’t included in the car park plans, and is ready for the cinema development.
