| Good afternoon and thank goodness it's Friday. Not, of course, that the news ever stops! If you want access to our site with 70 percent fewer adverts, access to our full puzzles service and unlimited access it's 70p per month for two months then £5.59 afterwards - but the offer ends at midnight. We truly appreciate your support of local journalism. Meanwhile, we are well and truly in the gifting season now and inevitably many of us are ordering purchases to our homes. Unfortunately thieves in Preston tried to take advantage of this yesterday, stealing a van after the delivery driver left the engine running while he popped out to deliver a parcel. We also have advice on how to avoid fraud while online shopping but of course the best advice is to shop and #supportlocal In other news the conservatory in Leyland's Worden Park has been restored to its former glory and Preston's tram service is on track for a 2020 launch if all goes to plan. If you are a fan of 'I'm a celebrity' you'll know Radio 1 DJ Jordan North, formerly of Preston's Rock FM and from Burnley, has made it into the final tonight - and is a firm favorite to win. Good luck Jordan! Have a great Friday and wrap up warm, snow and sleet are forecast for tomorrow. Kind regards, Nicola |
