Distressed Livestock and Family Pets

Livestock and family pets were left distressed by loud bangs and bright lights over the fields between Barrows Green and Natland shortly before and after 11pm last night (Saturday 27^th April).  Rockets were seen coming from the direction of Highfield Hall (formerly Barrows Green House). 

Residents in the vicinity alerted the Police who originally thought the noise was caused by Network Rail upgrading the West Coast line.  Anyone who can confirm the source of this noise nuisance should contact SLDC Environmental Health Department on 0845 050 4434 or the Police on the non emergency number 101.

Hopefully if identified those responsible can be reminded of their impact on animals and others and avoid similar occurrences in the
future, Natland News would be pleased to post their apology
