Preston is to get another new bus lane in an attempt to make journeys more reliable for passengers travelling along one of the busiest routes in the city.
Lancashire County Council’s cabinet has given the green light to the introduction of the restriction on New Hall Lane - but the plans have been blasted by some of those living nearby. The bus-only lane will run for just under 450 yards for westbound traffic - heading towards the city centre - from just after Fishwick Parade through to Witton Street, on the approach to the junction with the A6, London Road.
Others warned of the impact the bus lane would have on business lining the route, while one also urged the county council to consider an alternative use for the £100,000 cost of the scheme. “Please, for goodness' sake, use the money to repair ...road surfaces. There are potholes and roads in and around Fishwick are in dire conditions. “I wish one of you planners would just walk down New Hall Lane on a wet/rainy day and see the congestion and flooding caused previous bad decisions.
