Cleveleys Park — Neighbourhood Policing Team

The top priority identified by Cleveleys Park ward residents through Lancashire Talking is currently: Vehicle Crime.

It seems the perception of vehicle crime in Cleveleys Park ward is higher than actual recorded crime as vehicle crime has seen a reduction here. That said, there is always work to do and prevention is always better than cure. Always make sure your vehicle is locked and secure. Many vehicle offences are carried out by opportunists - Don't make it easy for them. Always make sure windows and sun roofs are shut - even in hot weather - keep it secure. Secure or remove any additions you have added on the outside of the vehicle. DO NOT leave valuable on display. Park in well lit areas. Tool theft from vans Vans are often targeted by thieves for the tools stored inside. If you have to leave tools in a van overnight, it's a good idea to mark them clearly with your name / company name and address using paint pens and seal with a clear lacquer spray. Alternatively, you can use a variety of other property marking systems. Items that are clearly marked are less desirable and more difficult to sell on. Consider using a lockable cabinet within your van to store tools – a number of security rated products are available. Small cameras are also designed to record inside vehicles.

Road Safety is one of the top priorities you have also raised to us through Lancashire Talking.

Road Safety - Keeping Wyre’s Roads Safe Making our roads safer for everyone is a key focus for the Wyre Neighbourhood Policing Team and our partners. We’re working hard to tackle behaviours that put lives at risk, and your support plays a big part in that. Mobile Phone use By using a mobile device when driving, the driver is distracted and not in control of the vehicle. We will and do prosecute for this with drivers receiving £200 fine and six penalty points. It’s important for young drivers to remember, If you get six points within the first two years of passing your test you will lose your licence. Speeding If speeding is an issue where you live, you can report it online through the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership. When concerns are raised, we may carry out Community Road Watch sessions or run targeted speed enforcement in problem areas. School Drop-Off and Pick-Up We understand how worrying unsafe driving and parking outside schools can be for parents and local residents. Our officers regularly visit schools to promote safe behaviour, share advice through schools and social media, and work closely with Wyre Borough Council’s Parking Enforcement team to deal with persistent problems. Anti-Social Driving & Drink/Drug Driving Dangerous or irresponsible driving has no place on our roads. We continue to carry out focused patrols and enforcement operations to keep our communities protected. How You Can Help If you see dangerous driving or parking, please report it via the Lancashire Police website or speak directly with your local neighbourhood officers. Together, we can help make Wyre’s roads safer for everyone.

Cleveleys Park Ward residents have also highlighted dog fouling as a concern.

Dog Fouling – Time to Take Action Dog fouling continues to be one of the most frequent concerns raised by residents, and it’s easy to see why. It’s unpleasant, unhygienic, and creates a poor environment for everyone using our parks, pavements, and public spaces. No one should have to navigate their way around dog mess in our communities. Wyre Borough Council is the authority responsible for dealing with dog fouling on public land, and they have a number of measures in place to manage and reduce the problem. This includes: • Investigating reports of dog fouling. • Issuing Fixed Penalty Notices to those who fail to clean up after their dog. • Patrolling problem areas to deter offending. • Putting up signage and providing waste bins. • Running education campaigns to promote responsible dog ownership. However, enforcement alone isn’t enough — public information is vital. If you witness someone not cleaning up after their dog, please report it. The more detail you can provide, the more effectively the Council can take action. Useful information includes: • Time, date, and exact location of the incident. • A description of the person and the dog. • Vehicle details, including registration, if relevant. Reports can be made directly to Wyre Borough Council using the link below: https://orlo.uk/mmE5 In some cases, enforcement may go as far as court proceedings, and having witnesses willing to support the process makes a real difference. By reporting incidents and encouraging responsible behaviour, we can help keep Wyre’s parks, pathways, and public spaces clean, safe, and pleasant for everyone.
