School extends closure after positive Covid-19 test

Good afternoon,

How's your week going?

It's been a busy morning across Lancashire with incidents on both the M55 and M6 causing disruption to commuters - hopefully you weren't caught up in it?

Away from the roads, an American diner could be coming to Bamber Bridge.

Plans have been submitted to convert the old RBS bank building into a restaurant and bar which would also host live music.

American food fans can read more about the project here

Have you experienced problems with the Test and Trace system?

A pregnant woman from Preston who caught Covid-19 was only contacted by the Test and Trace service eight days after she learned of her positive result.

Sally Fazeli first experienced symptoms, including a cough and a fever on September 19, had a test the following day and received notification of the positive result on September 21.

Yet, she did not receive a call from Test and Trace until September 28 - nine days into the 10-day self-isolation period.
