Preston’s Voices: Initial Lockdown Interviews
Preston’s Voices: Initial Lockdown Interviews

A compilation of first lockdown thoughts created from hours of interviews with the people of Preston.

People spoke about their fears, whether the media should be trusted, their mental health and the economy. Is your outlook to the second lockdown different to the first?
