THE PRESTON AND LANCASHIRE CITY DEAL
The Preston and Lancashire City Deal has been described by Preston City Council as a “landmark agreement” that is in the process of transforming the city and building a resilient modern economy. Vital to any attempt to equip a city for the future is the creation of transport infrastructure which will allow growth, and the City Deal is addressing this with investments worth £434m.
By undertaking major new road schemes to the North, West and South of the city, this investment aims to create 20,000 new jobs and build almost 17,500 new homes. It is estimated that these developments will grow the local economy by £1bn by expanding the benefits of Preston’s already excellent location and allowing businesses to make more of the highly trained workforce which exists in the city.
