Customers driven away from 130-year-old Preston business by lorries blocking street

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

The result is that wagons delivering to businesses on Friargate North have often been taking to adjoining Hope Street instead – and parking right in front of Granthams. “We’ve got 12 of the actual square sets that we’ve picked up, because they’ve come loose and been left lying around. We put them in our building so that if anybody’s walking around drunk they don’t put them through the windows,” Kirsty said.

Existing no waiting rules on Hope Street prohibit parking, but not the kind of loading that has plagued Granthams. “Thankfully, new legal measures are expected to be in place in this area later this month, which will enable our enforcement team to issue fines.
