Leconfield: Use of Flea Foggers in SFA
Use of Flea Foggers in SFA
There have been an increased number of instances of families living in SFA using flea foggers (“flea bombs”). To protect Service personnel, families and neighbouring properties, the use of flea foggers ("flea bombs") is prohibited in SFA due to the potential for property damage and harm to occupants.
Flea foggers release a combustible aerosol and can create significant fire, explosion and health-and-safety risks, as well as trigger smoke alarms and unnecessary emergency service call-outs.

Councillor Richard Redcliffe, Mayor of Fylde, said: “It’s a privilege to stand alongside our community as we honour those who gave so much for our freedom. These services offer a vital moment to reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces, and I’d encourage everyone across Fylde to take part, whether at a service or through the two-minute silence, to ensure they are never forgotten.”

Richmond: Annual Firework Display 5th Nov at Richmond School
Morning folks, just one week to go before the Richmond Town Council annual fireworks display at Richmond School.
Who remembers being held in the Castle?
My Mam used to take me up Sleegill to watch them from there. I seem to remember the Rotary Club came by with a collection bucket and I was allowed to throw the coins in.
Who's coming to the display this year?
