The city based Friends of Winckley Square says it will still not be arranging any walks, talks, exhibitions or events until the Government gives the go-ahead for events in public spaces.

Its chairman Patricia Harrison warned: “Even then we will make informed decisions based on the risk to those who volunteer on such events and those who attend.”

The usually proactive city group, which has carried out extensive research on Preston’s Winckley Square, the handsome Georgian square off Fishergate, has also announced it will not be publishing a June/July newsletter as the print and design service it uses is closed. But past newsletters can be viewed at www.winckleysquarepreston.org

Patricia said: “The Square has been looking beautiful through April and May. Tony, the warden, is making sure it is in prime condition for the day when the lockdown ends.”
