and live on Freeview channel 276
‘Bin the Bangers’ operation is being run by the Pendle Community Policing team and the aim is to work with partner agencies to target nuisance vehicles.
On Wednesday this week officers seized 26 vehicles parked on the road illegally. A spokesman for the team said this showed there is a ‘significant issue’ in the area, adding: “We will continue to enforce this operation as you the public have asked us to. The message is clear, don’t just abandon your vehicle and make sure it is road legal and taxed.”
