Park on road or face fine say police
POLICE in Langho are warning careless motorists to avoid parking on the pave
ments - or face being fined. The stark warning has been issued by
Community Beat Manager PC Andy Lang after complaints from pedestrians, particu larly disabled people with mobility scooters and mothers with pushchairs, about the on going problem of cars and vans being parked on pavements. To clamp down on this, PC Lang, together
with the area’s Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Mick Turner, will be seen patrolling the Whalley Road area of Langho and handing out on-the-spot fines of £40 to people c a u ^ t parking on the pavements. They are also in the process of delivering letters in the village making drivers aware of
the problem. PC Lang said: “I have received complaints
from some members of our commumty about the way vehicles are parked in the village, particularly when they encroach on to the pavements making it impossible for mobility scooters and wheelchair-users to get access. “I realise that parking is a problem in some
parts of the village and most people do try to park considerately. Nevertheless, I would like motorists to be extra careful and think about pedestrians when parking in busy areas in
Langho.’’ PCSO Turner added: “Once the lettem are
delivered, we are going to monitor the situa tion closely. If motorists continue to ignore the warning, we will have no choice but to issue fines.” Anyone wishing to speak to PC Lang or
PC Turner about the matter is asked to leave a message on their voicemail on 01254
353016.

shops. “I would like to say a big
thank you to pupils from Simonstone Primary School, who arranged the flower dis play for the evening.” Mrs Telford paid tribute to
