Appendix B Options Assessment Report Part2
Options Assessment Report Figure 2-13 and Figure 2-14 show that, even without the 5,000+ dwellings proposed for North West Preston, the situation has deteriorated from 2014 with longer delays present in 2034. Delay increases on the approaches to all the junctions on the M55 and M6 and in the morning peak period delay also increases on the motorway exit slips in 2034. Delay also increases on the arterial roads into and out of Preston, including the A6, Lightfoot Lane and Eastway, Tom Benson Way, the A583, A5085, A59 and A582. Several increases in delay on the A6, A583 and A582 are greater than 30 seconds; each of which is in addition to the existing delay on previous plots. Pinch points at the Ribble bridges on the A6 and A59 along with the A583 south of Kirkham are all forecast to experience further increases in delays in the morning and evening peak periods. The reductions in delay through Broughton and on local roads in Lostock (near Bamber Bridge) are due to the inclusion of Broughton Bypass and the A582 dualling respectively, onto which traffic transfers. These schemes are present in the future but are not in the base year. Even without the impact of growth from large scale developments, Preston is further congested. Given that these arterial road corridors and strategic road network access points are all under pressure in 2014, the worsening scenario to 2034 means that the additional growth will be unsustainable without a significant transport intervention. The figures below show the potential impact of the North West Preston housing development in 2034 (without intervention). -

This trail is one of a set that explores the lives of three very different Preston residents and the impact the war had on their lives. The First World War changed society in ways we could never have predicted. Ordinary Preston residents did extraordinary things, fought for their beliefs and showed immense courage in the face of unimaginably diffcult situations. The trails follow the lives of: Beatrice Blackhurst née Boyce – Farmer’s daughter, domestic servant, solicitor’s wife, mother, suffragist and founder of the Preston Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Free Buffet. Joseph Garstang – Son of a weaver and atheist, market gardener, ftness instructor, member of the Independent Labour Party, conscientious objector, absolutist, prisoner. John Gregson – Plasterer’s son, brother, cotton mill worker, soldier in India, husband, father, tram driver, reservist, corporal, sergeant. Beatrice Blackhurst, 1913 (on the right).
