13 fines issued to motorists driving in Lancaster pedestrianised zones

A number of fines have been issued to motorists driving in pedestrianised zones in Lancaster city centre.

Following complaints from local businesses over the weekend, the Local Neighbourhood Police Team was joined by police colleagues from the Special Constabulary to keep the pedestrian areas of Lancaster safe.

On Saturday evening thirteen fines were issued to drivers, who had entered the pedestrian area, without a disabled blue badge or were unloading for a business.

PCSO Pete Atkinson said: ‘’With the music festival on all weekend, which made the town centre very busy, we wanted people to be able to enjoy the music and entertainments on offer.

‘’Vehicles are not authorised to drive within the city centre due to the area being a pedestrian zone. There is no permitted access for vehicles, unless you are displaying a disabled badge and looking for parking or a loading vehicle between 5pm and 10pm.

‘’We will be keeping an eye on this this area.’’
