'We apologise' - Wyre Council issues major Poulton Market roadworks update amid delays to utility works

Poulton Market is still operating at reduced capacity with delays to utility works leaving roadworks in place beyond their scheduled completion date.

The ongoing pipe works have continued to affect access to the market, with roadworks remaining on the Church Street side despite being due to finish by 25 June.

As a result, some traders are once again unable to access their usual pitches, meaning fewer stalls are trading than would normally be expected.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding while these works continue,” Wyre Council posted on social media. “If you're visiting the market today, please show your support for the traders who are open and helping keep our market thriving.

“Thank you for supporting local.”

The disruption has impacted the popular weekly market, which is held in Poulton town centre's Market Square and attracts traders selling a wide range of goods and locally produced items. The reduced number of stalls is expected to continue while access remains restricted by the ongoing roadworks.

Poulton Market takes place every Monday from 9am until 4.30pm, except on bank holidays.
