Last updated 31st Mar 2021
Police in Fylde are asking people to continue to follow Covid regulations while they're enjoying the warm weather over the next few days.
It comes after officers were called to a number of reports of large gatherings and anti-social behaviour on the green at Lytham yesterday evening (30th March)
They've said that as a result, there'll be an increased police presence in the area over the next few days.
In a statement on their Facebook page, they said:
"We understand that it has been a difficult time for everyone recently, but the coronavirus regulations are still in place and they are there to protect people and save lives.
"As a community which has worked together to prevent the virus we would encourage parents to continue to support the police in educating their children regarding covid legislation, especially given the efforts that the vast majority of people are making to get us back to normal as quickly as possible.
"Following these incidents, we will have an increased police presence in the area. We will not hesitate to use powers available to us if required.
