Service updates
The council is working hard to ensure that we are still offering the best service we can to our residents during this unprecedented time.
Inevitably, we may have to change the way we do things to ensure we can still provide our key services.

Burning waste and fly-tipping
The council is urging people to refrain from burning their garden or household waste or fly tipping. We're getting a lot of complaints about both at the moment and we have seen a 50% increase in fly-tipping across the borough.
We will be issuing fines to people who are known to be fly tipping or are causing smoke nuisance by burning waste.
Lancashire County Council have annouonced they will open 12 of their recycling centres by appointment only for essential trips from Friday 15 May.
