Dear reader,

After a year under lockdown and other restrictions, we’ve finally had some good news with Boris Johnson’s announcement of the next steps. We’ll soon be able to fully re-emerge back into the city we love, and experience life together once more.

Even so, the road back to normality will be a long one. The Lancashire Evening Post has been here for you throughout the pandemic and we will be right beside you as we start to re-emerge once more. We will tell you everything you need to know as we approach each step, and keep you connected to your friends and colleagues in Preston.

We’d like to sincerely thank you for supporting us through a difficult year, in which trustworthy journalism has become more important than ever. To help us continue keeping Preston informed with quality news in the months and years ahead, please consider subscribing from just £1 per month, for unlimited access to The Lancashire Evening Post in print, on smartphones, tablets and desktop computers.

Best wishes,

The team at The Lancashire Evening Post
