The boss of a 130-year-old Preston business says customers are being driven away - and staff driven to distraction - by HGVs blocking the tiny cobbled street on which it is based.

Kirsty Reader, general manager of graphics specialists Granthams, told the Lancashire Post that the problems were unleashed more than a year ago during the long-running work to pedestrianise Friargate North. While the once busy thoroughfare is now largely vehicle free between Marsh Lane and Ringway, drivers can still access the northernmost stretch leading down from the Adelphi roundabout.

She told the Post that one of the most frustrating aspects of the experience is that nobody from Lancashire County Council - which is responsible for the Friargate works - has been out to see for themselves the impact on such a well-established business.
