Cottam Parkway back on track after wrangle over landWork began this week in Old Vicarage, which runs between Lancaster Road North and Tithebarn Street, with 12-weeks of digging expected until the end of November. There’s no road closures planned as part of the work and the road remains open.The pavement is to be widened, new lighting including ‘projection lighting’ put in to ‘animate the street scene’ and a new avenue of trees.
“The Illuminate and Integrate project will revitalise this part of the city centre, bringing fresh energy while also enhancing street safety.”Chair of Preston Towns Fund strategic board, John Chesworth, said: “While the Harris Quarter is well connected to the rest of the city centre via an existing network of streets, many of these routes are dated, having been designed around vehicular movement, limiting the potential for cycle and pedestrian use.
“A key aspect of the scheme is to encourage footfall and dwell time in the day and evening, which is allied to our vision for the Harris Quarter to be the go-to cultural destination in Preston.”
