Local Priorities

ASB is another priority you have also raised to us through Lancashire Talking.

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

ASB
Op Centurion is Lancashire Police’s answer to ASB, with dedicated patrols in identified areas across Wyre. Specialist antisocial behaviour (ASB) cars are regularly tasked in the Wyre area, including Pharos Ward.

Identified hotspots or repeat areas are also discussed with partners at youth and adult ASB meetings.

Wyre NHPT have also made great use of civil orders of late to deal with ASB. Across the Wyre area, this has included Community Protection Warnings, Community Protection Notices, Civil Injunctions, Criminal Behaviour Orders and even Closure Orders at properties causing and linked to ASB and Crime.
Wyre has also seen a steady decline in ASB reported incidents.

Another priority identified by Pharos ward residents through Lancashire Talking is currently:

Drug activity

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

Drugs

Wyre NHPT are proactive in their targeting of drug related activity.

We tackle all drug related activity head on in Wyre and deal robustly with those involved. Since the start of 2023 we have seized nearly £4 million pounds worth of drugs, taken over £370,000 in cash off Organised Crime Groups and made over 250 arrests of high risk offenders and people linked to drug supply who have received over 100 years in sentences.

We will continue to tackle drugs use at all levels and work with local and national partners to provide support, guidance and education around drug use.

The top concerns raised to us by Pharos Ward residents via Lancashire Talking is Dog Fouling.

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

Dog Fouling – Time to Take Action

Dog fouling continues to be one of the most frequent concerns raised by residents, and it’s easy to see why. It’s unpleasant, unhygienic, and creates a poor environment for everyone using our parks, pavements, and public spaces. No one should have to navigate their way around dog mess in our communities.

Wyre Borough Council is the authority responsible for dealing with dog fouling on public land, and they have a number of measures in place to manage and reduce the problem. This includes:

• Investigating reports of dog fouling.
• Issuing Fixed Penalty Notices to those who fail to clean up after their dog.
• Patrolling problem areas to deter offending.
• Putting up signage and providing waste bins.
• Running education campaigns to promote responsible dog ownership.

However, enforcement alone isn’t enough — public information is vital. If you witness someone not cleaning up after their dog, please report it. The more detail you can provide, the more effectively the Council can take action. Useful information includes:

• Time, date, and exact location of the incident.
• A description of the person and the dog.
• Vehicle details, including registration, if relevant.
Reports can be made directly to Wyre Borough Council using the link below:

In some cases, enforcement may go as far as court proceedings, and having witnesses willing to support the process makes a real difference.

By reporting incidents and encouraging responsible behaviour, we can help keep Wyre’s parks, pathways, and public spaces clean, safe, and pleasant for everyone.
