Children were spotted scaling tall and dangerous scaffolding, in Burnley.
Police were called last night (July 17) to a tall structure surrounded by scaffolding. There were reports of children climbing it.
Officers are now urging anyone with concerns about the site, to call 101. Police will then be able to challenge the site owners to make the site safe.
A police spokesperson said: “We were called tonight to an incident of kids on this scaffolding.
“The best way to deal with this is keep reporting it on 101. This will then flag up as a repeat issue and give us the evidence needed to challenge the site owners to make it safe. Or at least try.”
