Rossendale Council’s fight against abandoned vehicles and fly tipping across the borough, Operation Trident, has had another successful prosecution.
The operation coordinates a three-pronged approach of education, enforcement and removal, which aims to hold to account those responsible.
Following a report of an abandoned vehicle in the car park of the Rose and Crown pub, Manchester Road, Haslingden, Public Protection Officers found an accident damaged Mercedes van which had no road tax, no MOT and foliage growing through the rear of the vehicle which was also full of rubbish.
There will be numerous Remembrance services, parades and concerts taking place in Rossendale between Friday 11th and Sunday 13th November.

Lancashire’s Labour Council Leaders have come out strongly against the government’s proposals to lift the ban on fracking. Labour Councils have adopted strategies to ensure their organisations can achieve net zero carbon targets by 2030. These councils are also actively working with community groups and businesses to secure broader carbon reduction levels in their districts.
Chief Executive of Rossendale Borough Council, Neil Shaw has announced his departure after almost three years at the helm.
Neil said: “It has been a real privilege to be the council’s Chief Executive. During my time the council has progressed work on improving its town centres, seen the re-opening of the Whitaker Museum after its £2.2m redevelopment, gained the borough’s first Green Flag and seen an improvement in our parks generally, and made major strides in our innovative work on carbon reduction.
A new pattern of wards is being developed for Rossendale Borough Council. The Local Government Boundary Commission has decided that the number of councillors in Rossendale should be 30. This is a change from the current council which has 36. The Commission wants to hear what residents and organisations think about their local area.
