The flooding problems that render a community green space in rural Preston unusable after wet weather are finally set to be resolved.

- by Paul Faulkner

The King George V Playing Fields in Broughton are in line for a wider revamp that it is hoped will finally deal with the substandard drainage that has blighted the site for years.

The works, proposed by Preston City Council, will also see the extension of the existing car park at the Garstang Road facility and the upgrading - and relocation - of its children's playground.
