Councillors are asking for additional police officers and more CCTV cameras to be put in place following a surge in youth anti-social behaviour in their borough.
Ribble Valley Conservative councillors Ged Mirfin and Ricky Newmark raised the issue during a meeting of the borough council’s parish liaison committee at the end of June, only to reiterate the need for increased surveillance this week, following an incident in which teenagers caused damage to Whalley Abbey. During the meeting, councillors spoke with the inspector for the Ribble Valley, Andy Ainsworth, and quizzed the new chief constable for Lancashire, Chris Rowley, over police funding for the area as well as the impact of the new rural taskforce.

The Reverend Adam Thomas, rector of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church in Mystic, cannot wait for the building to reopen completely again.
“It’s the building, not the church,” that has been closed for over a year now (March 15, 2020), Thomas emphasized during a recent interview.
“The ways that I’m used to supporting people have been limited during the pandemic,” Thomas went on to explain, characterizing this as the greatest psychological challenge of the last year.
The other big challenge has been technological, “adapting our worship services, meetings, and all other events to an online method (Zoom and YouTube).”
