THE exceptionally high fire risk caused by the cur­ rent heatwave has forced Lancashire County Council to close parts of the Forest of Bowland to the public. The Clougha access area, including the Tarnbrook


strip and the Saddle and Fairsnape areas, are to be closed until July 4th. A spokesman said it was regretted that the access


areas have had to be closed, but the county council hoped the public would eo-operate by keeping away. “If there is a suitable change in ground and


weather conditions before July 4th, we would hope to reopen them to the public. For the present, Wolf Fell access area remains open, but people are asked to take extreme care not to risk starting fires when visiting all moorland areas."
