Operational area 350 square miles
Our operational patch takes in a variety of terrain – from peaty moorlands, heathered slopes, crags and quarries to field systems, wooded areas, semi–rural farmland and town parks. Not to mention the urban and industrial landscape we are frequently called to work in.
Our border traces a line from Whitefield in the south, heading north east along the M62 beyond Rochdale and Littleborough, before meandering north along the edge of the Pennines towards Earby and the A59. Here it takes a turn south westwards, following the path of the River Ribble past Barnoldswick and Clitheroe until, just short of Preston, it turns south and east, back towards Blackburn, skirting north of Darwen and Bolton and west of Bury, to run parallel to the M66 back down to junction 17 of the M62.
Along the way, we take Bacup, Burnley, Nelson and Colne, Haslingden,
Rawtenstall and Water. Not to mention the beautiful Pendle Hill with
its picturesque neighbouring villages of Whalley, Sabden and Newchurch.
