Unregulated Burning of Refuse, 18th July
The unregulated burning of refuse has been going on at this site for years. The regular and continual burning of who-knows-what not only causes air polution, but also most likely causing contamination of the ground and water courses in the vicinity. At times, the smoke generated from this site is so thick as to cause road safety issues for motorists using New Road. Photos taken from almost 2 miles away in Mereclough.

Abandoned Vehicle, 29th August
Been there above 3 weeks now - reported to police because it's in a dangerous position and to DVLA for no valid tax in place, no interest from either. If it isn't gone within the next week I'm going to start stripping bits off it and selling them on eBay.

Inappropriate Community Service on children's playground, 23rd March
We visited Towneley playground today with our children, to inappropriately find 'community payback' workers litter picking on the children's playground but also playing on the children's equipment (zip line).
It is inappropriate to have people convicted of crimes (regardless of the offence) to be carrying out community service on a children's playground. It is reasonable for community service to be carried out in other areas of Towneley, such as car parks etc - away from the playground, and the playground upkeep be left to paid staff or volunteers (not community service).
Whilst it is not unreasonable for them to have a bit of 'down time' and enjoy the facilities (if age/size appropriate), it is not reasonable for them to be playing on children's equipment with children around whilst in the process of carrying out community service unsupervised.
There was a supervisor in the surrounding vicinity, however he was a considerably distance away, out of site, away from the playground area near the toilets, staring off the bridge into the river, not supervising anyone....

A pile of rubbish tipped near the 9 hole golf shop off Deerpark Road., 22nd February
Flytipping off Deerpark Road near golf shop. Also is only a matter of time before the travelling fraternity realise they can get on the car park near the golf shop because park employees are driving over the grass verge instead of opening the gate that is there to stop people using the car park out of hours.

Pennine Bridleway - danger to users. Immediate action required., 4th September
The track in this section has been reinforced by the addition of several loads of hardcore. The problem is that this "hardcore" is comprised of a lethal mixture that includes shards of glass and pottery and strips of metsl, all of which are easily capable of ripping the hooves of horses, the pads of dogs accompanying walkers, and shredding the tyres of mountain bikes, all of which are legitimate users of this public highway and right of way. Immediate action is needed to avoid serious injury occurring to animals or humans.

Cans and Lids From Recycling Collection Strewn Along Road, 14th June
Large number of cans, lids, tins and other recycling items strewn along the gutter and footway. This is entirely down to recycling operatives not ensuring that waste put out for collection is properly collected - they just leave it and it ends up looking appalling. Perhaps we ought to get Kingdom to follow them round and issue them with a £75 fine every time they drop stuff??

Incessant Noise from External PA, 21st May
Music playing constantly from external PA at Nino's Italian restaurant, particularly at weekends. Admittedly it isn't massively loud but it's incessant from noon to about 10:30pm. Attempts have been made to engage with the management of this establishment about it, but this usually meets with glib excuses and complete inaction.
