Ribchester Parish Council

20/10/2026

A lively Parish Council meeting last night, and a good discussion about speeding and road safety.

Did you know you can report concerns about speeding and other safety issues directly to Lancashire Police through the portal below?

You can also follow the links to request road calming measures from Lancashire County Council.

The Parish Council can't make any changes to roads without the support of the County Council, but we can put your concerns forward, so please keep them coming.

We have had concerns recently from residents saying too many large vehicles visiting the village for the first time are going straight on down Church Street rather than turning left at the Black Bull.

So we asked that new signage was painted on the road when the resurfacing work was done this week. Hopefully that will make some difference!

Thanks to Councillor Karl Barnsley and Cllr Ian Duxbury for helping make this happen.

The Parish Council was deeply saddened to learn of Junior Slater’s death last week. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to all of his family, friends and anyone who knew and loved him.

Safety on the river will be discussed at future council meetings which you are welcome to attend.

The next meeting will take place on Monday 15th June at 7.30pm at St Peter and St Paul Parish Centre on Stydd Lane.

Great to have the car park resurfaced, re-lined and re-opened!
