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.
