“In The Know” Information Service
From Lancashire Constabulary.
Dear Residents,
We would like to introduce a Lancashire Talking Community tool through our In The Know messaging system. We have over 45,000 residents in Lancashire who subscribe to the system and Neighbourhood Policing Teams use the system to send police messages to streets, wards or districts. In The Know is supported by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and Lancashire County Council.
Lancashire Talking is a community tool and we are inviting residents to answer a few questions to identify their top 5 community issues, so their local Neighbourhood Police Team can prioritise problems in their neighbourhood on the issues that matter most to the local community.
The system can be considered a modern day digital version of our traditional Neighbourhood Watch Schemes and PACT meetings to identifying community concerns, but is more effective as we can involve thousands of residents in setting priorities and we can provide residents with instant updates.
Let us know what matters to you most in your area by answering a few short questions here:
“Pls share – With the R-rating in the North West having now risen above 1, local GP, Dr Peter Gregory is urging all residents to do their part to keep everyone safe from #COVID19.
Remember, we are all in this together, we all must play our part to beat this virus. Please remember to do the following:
StayHome as much as possible
Only make essential journeys
Strictly maintain #socialdistancing
Wear face coverings if possible
If you have symptoms #selfisolate
https://www.facebook.com/1726233667643040/posts/2759902434276153/?vh=e&d=n
We will be having remote meetings via Zoom from June 9th 2020.
For more details and how to take part please click here.
The Government have now issued the regulations that give local authorities greater flexibility in the conduct of meetings, including allowing members to attend remotely, and for public and press access to those meetings. These ‘Regulations’ (The Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020) came into force on 4 April 2020.
The next meeting of Downholland Parish Council will therefore take place on Tuesday 9th June 2020 at 7.30 pm using ZOOM and the agenda will be published on the website downhollandpc.org.uk at least 3 clear working days before the meeting is due to be held.

Community Skip in Haskayne
Wednesday 13th May 2020, from 9.30am until 2pm
Parish Council Chair Mike Wainwright and Lancashire County Councillor David O’Toole have arranged with West Lancs to get a community skip on the car park next to the park on Wednesday 13th May 2020, from 9.30am until 2pm…
” From : https://www.westlancs.gov.uk/more/emergencies/coronavirus/waste-and-recycling/community-skips.aspx
Don’t tip it, Skip it! With many of us spending more time at home this can often mean we have more waste. We are providing community skips in different areas on different days between 9.30am and 2pm to help residents dispose of some excess rubbish to prevent fly-tipping as Lancashire County Council has closed the household waste recycling centres.
These skips are for all residents, not businesses, and are for getting rid of excess domestic waste and small amounts of garden waste rather than furniture or other large items. Please remember the whole community needs to use these skips when thinking about how much rubbish to dispose of in them. The following specific items cannot be put in the skips: oil, paint, tyres, fridges, freezers, gas bottles, asbestos.
Anyone who has large items to dispose of can use our bulky household waste collection service. We are sorry but this service can only currently be booked online.
Please stay safe when bringing waste to the skips and remember government social distancing guidelines. Stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times. Residents will be expected to put rubbish in the skips themselves.
Items that CANNOT be disposed of in the skips are:
- Oil
- Paint
- Tyres
- Fridges
- Freezers
- Gas Bottles
- Asbestos
- Trade waste
- Commercial waste
“
West Lancashire Borough Council, in conjunction with all local health and community partners supporting West Lancashire, have launched a new Local Support System, West Lancs Together, which will offer support to those most vulnerable within the borough.
https://www.westlancs.gov.uk/more/emergencies/coronavirus.aspx
This will offer help and support to those who have been identified by the NHS as being at risk of severe illness if they contract COVID-19 and have been asked to isolate themselves (referred to nationally as ‘shielding’) for a period of at least 12 weeks. For more information on who this may involve, visit – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19
We understand these extremely vulnerable people may not have a support network to rely on and West Lancs Together will pool together resource to be able to provide support with food, medicines and social contact during this phase of isolation.
Please be aware that we will be prioritising those who will not be able to rely on family and friends for practical support while they remain at home. If anyone is feeling vulnerable you can contact the service so we can understand your needs and what level of support we could provide.
If anyone would like further information on Coronavirus, the main Government website is kept up to date with key information: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
If you are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19 and feel you cannot cope with your symptoms at home, please visit 111.nhs.uk – only call 111 if you are unable to get help online. For life threatening emergencies call 999 for an ambulance.
