Gritting teams urge everyone to park carefully

Lancashire's highway teams are urging people to park carefully to make sure the gritters can do their job during the coming cold snap. They're warning that parts of some gritting routes often go untreated because drivers don't leave enough room for vehicles to get past.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice on Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures are forecast to stay low for the rest of the week, with the general outlook showing the prospect of further wintry weather to follow.

"Have Your Say" Consultation on Household Waste Recycling Centres’ (HWRCs) opening days and times

Lancashire County Council wants to keep Household Waste Recycling Centres open when residents are most likely to use them. They have categorised all of the HWRCs based on how busy they are and/or how close they are to another centre and are proposing new opening days and times based on this.
Visit www.lancashire.gov.uk/consultations to complete an online questionnaire available from Monday 28 January. If you would prefer a printed questionnaire then please ring 01254 220691. Please return your comments to Lancashire County Council by Monday 25 March.
