How to report non-emergency crime
Did you know that non-emergency crime, or a suspicion that an offence is being committed, can be reported directly to the Police in any of the following ways :-
- By telephone – dial 101
- By text- text information to 61016
- Online – here
Any of the above will make sure your issue reaches the Police Service and will be assessed, actioned and recorded as appropriate.
For an ongoing crime or emergency it’s still 999 of course.
Unlawful use of off-road motorbikes on nearby Fells
The Parish Council is receiving multiple reports of a large increase in the number of motorbikes riding unlawfully on footpaths and across designated land particularly in the area between Great Burney and Beacon Tarn. Riders have also been observed riding on the highway illegally. A great deal of damage is being done to the landscape and there are reports of walkers being intimidated. We encourage residents to report these events to the Police (as above).

Lowick Show 2020

Faster broadband in Lowick
The Government has recently started promoting an opportunity for residents in this area to apply for a very significant increase in broadband speeds at both residential and commercial addresses.
Some of you may already have received letters from Simon Fell MP promoting this funded initiative but we urge residents of the Parish to register their own interest here – https://broadband-upgrade-fund.campaign.gov.uk/
You will need to identify the location of your address to be considered for upgrade and specify whether it is for business (SME) or purely residential use. The more that apply the stronger our case for a community broadband upgrade.
Members of the Parish Council have already agreed to provide “Community Coordinator” support. Contact the Parish Clerk for more information.
