Work on the Preston Western Distributor has moved into the final stages
Lancashire County Council and main contractor Costain are delivering the PWDR scheme, including building a new M55 motorway junction for National Highways.
A series of road closures have been in place in recent weeks as work focussed on the ‘missing’ junction 2. The road, which will link parts of Preston and the Fylde to the M55, will be known as Edith Rigby Way in honour of Preston’s most famous suffragette.It’s said that the road will help to create more than 20,000 new private sector jobs.
More than 17,000 new homes are set to be built across the area, along with new school places and open green spaces to cater for the growing population.

Biopsychosocial, work-related, and environmental factors affecting work participation in people with Osteoarthritis: a systematic review - BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersPurpose Osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain and disability, with onset often during working age. Joint pain is associated with functional difficulties and may lead to work instability. The aims of this systematic review are to identify: the impact of OA on work participation; and biopsychosocial and work-related factors associated with absenteeism, presenteeism, work transitions, work impairment, work accommodations, and premature work loss. Methods Four databases were searched, including Medline. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools were used for quality assessment, with narrative synthesis to pool findings due to heterogeneity of study designs and work outcomes. Results Nineteen studies met quality criteria (eight cohort; 11 cross-sectional): nine included OA of any joint(s), five knee-only, four knee and/or hip, and one knee, hip, and hand OA. All were conducted in high income countries. Absenteeism due to OA was low. Presenteeism rates were four times greater than absenteeism. Performing physically intensive work was associated with absenteeism, presenteeism, and premature work loss due to OA. Moderate-to-severe joint pain and pain interference were associated with presenteeism, work transition, and premature work loss. A smaller number of studies found that comorbidities were associated with absenteeism and work transitions. Two studies reported low co-worker support was associated with work transitions and premature work loss. Conclusions Physically intensive work, moderate-to-severe joint pain, co-morbidities, and low co-worker support potentially affects work participation in OA. Further research, using longitudinal study designs and examining the links between OA and biopsychosocial factors e.g., workplace accommodations, is needed to identify targets for interventions.
