A huge thank you 🤩 to all who came today to learn more about the first North West Regional Fostering Hub. A brand new initiative which sees 5 councils from across the region joining forces to recruit much-needed foster carers. @BpoolCouncil @LancashireCC @educationgovuk

Tomorrow, Lancashire will see strong winds with the @metoffice issuing a weather warning. Please secure any loose objects in your gardens such as ladders, tables and chairs, trampolines or anything else that could be blown over into roads and cause damage to properties.
