NEWS FROM WARTON VILLAGE

Village residents will be pleased to hear that the Parish Council have now raised the issue of speeding vehicles and reckless driving through the village with the Area Traffic Management Officer, Police  Headquarters Operations and the person who recently instigated traffic speed monitoring procedures in the village.  As a result of that monitoring it has been confirmed that there is a problem with speeding traffic through the village. The local Neighbourhood Policing Team have now been formally tasked to undertake formal speed enforcement action. No date for such action has yet been decided, as this will be dependent on competing demands as well as resources availability. Hopefully, irresponsible drivers will now be identified and appropriate action taken to deter future problems. The Parish Council in the meantime will be monitoring the situation closely.

There have been a number of recent reports of dog fouling on the village streets as well as some public footpaths. Most dog owners do pick up their pets poop although there remain a few who choose not too. Lancaster City Council would remind irresponsible dog owners that under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act, it is an offence not to clean up after a dog has defecated on public land. Public land includes all public footpaths. A person may be issued with an £80 fixed penalty fine, if they do not clean up, or alternatively may be prosecuted through the magistrates court, where the maximum fine is £1000.
