Local news

Good afternoon,

This email is for your information – to let you know what is happening and what events we have coming up.

Events:

Wednesday 27th August:   12 – 4pm    -   We will be with The Bike Works at Burscough Wharf, Burscough  -  Come along and get your bike marked free of charge.

Wednesday 3rd September:    12 – 1pm   Ormskirk Library, Ormskirk - 

This is an opportunity for you to speak with your local Neighbourhood Officers and tell them of any concerns that you have.

A priority the community are reporting to us is dog fouling please report this to WLBC via Dog fouling - West Lancashire Borough Council    which will enable us to conduct joint patrols with the Council Environmental Enforcement Officer.

E-Bikes and E-Scooters:

We are continuing to receive reports regarding e-scooters and illegal bikes.  We are using various methods to tackle this problem and appreciate any help from the public who can help us to identify where these bikes and scooters are being kept.

Does someone own one on your street?  Tell us with the complete confidence that no one will know who told us. 

Do this by either replying to this message  or dropping an email to your local NHP team  WestlancsNPT@lancashire.police.uk – with as much information as possible BUT we can make enquires with just an address of the device. 

E-scooters are classed as motor vehicles under the Road Traffic Act 1988. This means the rules that apply to motor vehicles, also apply to e-scooters including the need to have a licence and insurance.

A number of E bikes have been seized by police today, 20th August, including one in Ormskirk Town centre.

Peoples Voice:

Our People’s Voice programme so far, has been hugely beneficial in better understanding our communities. 

Continually building relationships with our growing, diverse communities and listening to their voices, and listening to the views of victims, will enable us to better meet their needs and provide the best quality of service we can to everyone.

Peoples Voice is about the public sharing their lived experiences to help us to learn and improve. 

 Help us to improve our service to your local community – we are looking for Volunteers 

If you feel you could help, please reply to this message.
