Preston City Council's markets boss has written to all outdoor market traders saying their relocation due to the upcoming Amounderness House building works and Lancaster Road roadworks is imminent.

In May it was reported how the city council had outlined the need for a temporary relocation until 2027 with a move to split the market between the Wallace and Gromit covered end of the market and the Fish Market canopy - or Box Market - area.
