This morning a new statement has been issued by Preston City Council in wake of the petition. 📝 blogpreston.co.uk/2026/03/presto…

A significant milestone in the petition about a major venue for Preston - we went through the 2,034 signatures mark. That's the capacity of the Grand Hall at the Guild Hall. change.org/p/preston-guil…

Further support as more than 2,100 people have now signed our petition. That's more than you can get in the Grand Hall so a significant moment!

Good luck to Helen Kane and Rebecca Ansell who are joining the hundreds of people expected to bed down at Deepdale on Friday 27 March. 💙👏 @pnecommunity @TheFoxtonCentre blogpreston.co.uk/2026/03/humbli…

Loads of memories already being shared! The Charlatans in 2004 was one of the first gigs I ever went to in Preston.

I was lucky to meet Lucie as part of our Blog Foxton project. A very talented young lady and this is not a surprise to see her recognised. Can't wait to see what she does in the future!
