Pendle Council joins forces with Lancashire Fire and Rescue to tackle increase in number of wheelie bin fires
Pendle Borough Council and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service are working together to tackle the ongoing problem of wheelie bin fires in the borough.
As a result of an increase in the number of deliberate fires, a leaflet has been produced to drive home the message of how dangerous such fires can be and the impact they have on public services.
The Council’s technical and enforcement teams, along with representatives from the local fire service, distributed leaflets in the Bradley Ward area of Nelson. There has since been a decrease in the number of incidents which has led to the teams targeting other areas in the borough - Sackville Street area of Brierfield and they are now focusing on the Alkincoates area of Colne.
