Christmas 2024 service information

Information on opening times of council services across the Christmas period.

On-site vehicles management

Car
  • A maximum speed limit of 5mph will be applied at all times.
  • During event preparation only authorised vehicles will be permitted on site.
  • On the day(s) of the event traffic movement on site will be restricted to minimum use for food and merchandise traders, exhibitors, performers and contractors prior to the event being opened to the public.
  • Vehicle movement will not be allowed in the arena area whilst the event is in progress in order to prevent conflict between vehicles and pedestrians.
  • All vehicles requiring access to the site's service areas i.e. food traders, contractors, production staff, will be identified by special passes that are recognisable by the stewards.
  • All vehicles accessing back-stage areas will be limited to event management, performers, and production staff, stewards and emergency services. With the exception of obvious identifiable vehicles i.e. blue light services, all vehicles will be identifiable with special passes, recognisable to stewards.
  • These vehicles must proceed with extreme caution, (indicators must be used to indicate direction of travel and the 5 mph speed limit must be obeyed) and then only as and when instructed to do so by a steward.
  • All vehicles must use designated routes whether permanent or temporary roadways and follow any 'one way' system put in force. Vehicles must not be driven across the arena area unless specifically instructed to do so by a member of the Event or Venue Management. Vehicles must travel along the designated road/trackway and only drive onto landscaped areas when absolutely necessary in order to access their allotted trade/exhibition 'pitch'.
  • When ground conditions are poor; i.e. after prolonged heavy rain, it may be necessary to limit access to grassed areas to all-terrain vehicles fitted with off-road tyres. LGVs , 2-wheel drive cars and vans may have to be prohibited from pulling off road and be allocated trade/exhibition pitches closer to the roadways in order to reduce the possibility of their vehicles becoming bogged down.
  • The costs of re-instating damaged landscaping caused by unauthorised vehicular access may be sort from the contractor/trader concerned by the venue owner (Preston City Council).

Any deviation of these rules, may result in removal from site and ban from future access.
