NEW PCSO
Welcome to our new PCSO for the Moss Side area Karl Dixon. Karl replaces "Loz" Bytheway who has moved to Leyland Centre (we wish him well). Karl comes to us after 2 years as a Special in Coppull. He attended a school in Leyland as a youth, and is happy to be coming back to the area and enthusiastic at getting to know the community of Moss Side. If you see him about say “hello”.

ALCOHOL PUT TO GOOD USE
Leyland Police held a lottery
at Christmas of all the alcohol confiscated from youth on the streets etc,
under the under-age drinking initiatives actioned throughout the summer and
autumn months (in preference to pouring it away), all monies from tickets
(100%) has gone to local Community Initiatives and Charities. 1000 tickets
were printed for sale to NW Co-ordinators and persons in agencies associated
with crime prevention / police initiatives. The sum of £784 was raised, the
breakdown of which is as follows:
£400 to Moss Side Community Forum to fund the newly formed Moss Side
Community Football Team (under 12’s),
£100 to Balshaw High School to fund a Memorial Garden in remembrance of a
pupil who recently died in a tragic traffic accident,
£284 split between local charities, St. Catherine’s Hospice and Derian
House.
This will continue again in 2007 but will be managed by Lanpac (Lancashire
Partnership Against Crime). It is likely to be run twice a year, fitting in
with their Charity Fundraisers, also avoiding outdated goods. Ticket
distribution is yet to be finalised but details will be published when
available.
