Boys aged 13 and 15 arrested after police chase Mercedes driving on wrong side of M6

Mar 17, 2021

Good afternoon,

Before we get into the rest of the days news, I wanted to mention the rather encouraging news that the number of areas where Covid cases have all but vanished (fewer than three) are on the increase.

In Preston, Chorley and South Ribble in the last week a total of eight areas were almost Covid-free.

This just goes to show that lockdown and the vaccination programme are taking us in the right direction ahead of the next stage of the government's roadmap.

Here are the areas of Preston, Chorley, South Ribble and Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre where cases have fallen below three.

We're nearly there!

Take care and have a great day.
