My wife has an cousin in Preston with family. He is a big PNE fan. Am sure Richard from what i know about him, would have mentioned this to the council in an openail or 2. Church street looks terrible, how can or why should they be allowed to neglect that area. They should at least sell them off to people who will develop them into housing. I know its the town centre, but i think empty buildings look terrible and with the amount of homelessness and shortage of housing. They could sell them off and in the end, they would clean the area, and also make money from council tax. Maybe thats why independent people need to stand for councillors.

Thanks for highlighting all these things in Preston Reggie. I’ve lived here for just over 20 years and have sadly witnessed the decline of the city/town! I personally think that the bus lane debacle on Corporation Street is causing so much damage to businesses. When I park where Aldi used to be it’s so dismal! Those retail outlets are suffering so much! What used to be a bustling area of the town is now so quiet! Granted the students are on their summer break but it’s become like a ‘ghost’ area!! I really don’t know who are the brains behind all these major changes but I really don’t think their ‘utopian’ changes are for the betterment of people who live and work in Preston!! The people deciding all these changes probably don’t even live in or around the city!! I’m sure many people would agree with me!! Very deep at the end of the video!! 👍

It seems to be the same old story in every town and city. Councils are happy to take your money but they are not prepared to listen to the people and do whatever they want to. The problem is most of these councillors and council officials do not live in the area they are representing so all the inconvenience they cause with these changes does not directly affect them.

Preston used to be quite easy to get into the centre, I haven't been for a few years so don't know how I will go on now. It seems to me that these councils are spending money and making things difficult just for the fun of it. You want to come to Burnley to see the debacle there, they ruined a lovely roundabout just to create pedestrianisation for the football, yet on match days the road was shut for traffic anyway!. Our brilliant council built a sports centre on a car park, then years later knocked the sports centre down and built a new one on the multi storey car park that they had knocked down, and now where the old sports centre was, is back to being a car park!! We literally have hundreds of potholes around the town. There was scaffolding around the Town Hall for years, so someone must have done well out of it. The Town Hall staff have been moved to a few different buildings over the years (out of the Town Hall) yet money is spent on refurbishing it. Why? There must be loads of empty rooms doing nothing. The police station, which was once walk in is now locked at certain times. As for the parking, there is 40 (and 20) minute limits, hardly time to get to the shop and browse and buy something, why not make them an hour I asked, no response... Also, when they re line lines, as a motorist I can see the problems they will cause, yet these Traffic Management guys haven't a clue.
