Action on local Priorities

Hi,

We as a Neighbourhood Team have been listening to what the problems are in your area and taking action to prevent this.

Road Safety

Officers from across the Neighbourhood Team have conducted checks at a number of sites across the area. Vehicles found to be breaching the speed limit or committing other traffic offences will be recorded on police systems and dealt with appropriately. Please remember that you can report any speeding concerns on the website below. These roads are then assessed by the Road Safety Team and tasked to the police local to that area. You can tell us the peak times these are happening and an exact location.

Drug Dealing

This week officers from West Lancashire Task Force has conducted a number of Section 23 Misused of Drug Act Warrants around West Lancashire. This has resulted in a number of arrests and enquiries are now ongoing. These sort of Operations are a great way to disrupt Drug Dealing in the area. Drug dealing can unfortunately affect many people and lead youngsters into County Lines Operations and committing other offences to buy their drugs. Drug dealing is not a victimless crime. We understand people may be concerned about reporting this type of behaviour for fear of repercussion, this can be done anonymously on the below link:
