There have been a number of fatal crashes on the motorway
Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner has defended officers' policing of the M65 - amid a number of fatal incidents and criticism of budget cuts.
In Pendle, councillors have raised concerns about the loss of lighting, lane designs and flooding problems around concrete central barriers. Retired Lancashire police officer Paul Brooks also waded into the debate saying police traffic patrols had suffered as a result of funding cuts. "Dangerous driving comes up time and time again as a huge concern for our communities, and it is a priority to make our roads even safer for the majority of law-abiding motorists.
