The Fleetwood-to-Knott End-on-Sea ferry service in Lancashire is set to shut down when its contract expires on April 15, 2026, Wyre Council confirmed. The council has no compliant tenders to run the service beyond that date, leaving no financially viable proposal for its continuation.

A reopened landfill in Fleetwood is emitting a foul odor described as rotten eggs, prompting over 20,000 complaints and health issues among residents. The Environment Agency has recorded 72 permit breaches at the site, while officials and locals clash over the health risks.
