Following reports of inappropriate emails and phone calls, Wyre Council has made a decision to temporarily remove a number of contact details.

These contact details are of Parish and Town Council members, temporarily removed from the Wyre Council website.

Garry Payne, Chief Executive of Wyre Council commented: “Everyone is deeply saddened by the ongoing Nicola Bulley case and our thoughts are with the family and friends. We are supporting Lancashire Police where required and we urge everyone to remain respectful at this time.”

Cllr Michael Vincent, Leader of Wyre Council said: “We appreciate the emotional gravity of the situation, however we will not tolerate any form of abuse of any of our Elected Members of Wyre Borough Council or any of the town and parish councils within our borders or our staff.

“The community has shown great strength and resilience during the investigation and we urge everyone to continue to show compassion and empathy. It is a shame that we have had to take this step at such a difficult time and appropriate steps are being taken to ensure that residents are still able to contact their Elected representatives.”

Wyre Council say they will log any reports of abuse and these will be forwarded to the Police.
