If you’ve been to Deepdale Shopping Park recently, you’ll know exactly what I’m about to say.
What is going on with the car park? I’ve been to the park a few times lately - the most recent on Tuesday - and parking was chaos. On that morning, traffic wasn’t able to get in front of Marks and Spencers, so cars were backed up and tempers were flaring. As well as parking spaces unavailable, large sections of footpath outside big name shops are also fenced off, and shoppers are being sent through higgledy piggledy temporary walkways with yellow plastic ramps for wheelchair users.
So what’s going on? I reached out to the land owners Melford, to Preston City Council, to Preston BID, as well as local councillors. Melford have not responded, and either the others don’t know, or it’s not in their remit. Anecdotally I was told by people employed at the park, that the work is because the retail park was built on a former quarry and landfill site, the ground is now subsiding in areas. Remedial works on the car park are needed, with filling in and resurfacing work taking place.
