Drink or drug driving isn’t worth the risk.

We've teamed up with Lancashire Police to launch a newly wrapped fire engine carrying an important road safety message.

Both emergency services see first-hand the devastating and lasting impact that drink and drug driving can have on individuals, families and communities. Many of these incidents are preventable.

One decision can change lives forever.

If you know someone who drink or drug drives, report it by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.

👷 Work continues on £2.3million Clitheroe Castle investment scheme, with external repointing of the castle keep over the coming months, ensuring its preservation for generations to come.

Phase One of the scheme has seen the castle’s 800-year-old keep shrouded in scaffolding and covers for much of the year, while specialist contractors fix crumbling stonework, fit new flashing to prevent water damage and thin surrounding overgrown foliage.

The work is part of an extensive programme of improvements to the grounds of Clitheroe Castle, which also includes refurbishment of the iconic bandstand, revamps of the multi-use games area (MUGA) and skatepark, and installation of an outdoor gym on the former tennis courts.
