A series of events will be held over the coming weeks to highlight the work being done to combat crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) in a town.

The events, based in Padiham, will give residents the opportunity to raise issues and areas of concern, as well as finding out more about what is happening to tackle local problems.

The events will include an online Police and Communities Together (PACT) session, one of the council leader's regular surgeries and a public drop-in event at Padiham fire station.

"Councillor Lian Pate, who chairs the group, said: “We’ve acted on concerns raised by people in Padiham.

"The aim is to give residents the opportunity to raise issues and to ask questions.

“It’s also a chance for them to find out more about what is being done to make Padiham safer."
