Person rushed to hospital after partygoers gather for second night on Lytham Green

North West Ambulance Service confirmed they responded to a concern for welfare report in the West Beach area before taking a patient to hospital at around 7.15pm on June 25.

Revellers also reportedly left the field looking like a "rubbish tip", with beer cans, empty canisters of nitrous oxide - also known as laughing gas - and other "drug paraphernalia" left strewn across the grass.

This is the second day in a row residents have reported large groups of youths in the area, but police say they have enforced a "dedicated policing operation" to tackle the problem.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "We had a dedicated policing operation in place last night and officers engaged with groups and encouraged them to disperse.

"There were no significant incidents. We will continue to provide a policing response through the weekend."

Following the first gathering on June 24, in which fire crews were called after partygoers allegedly lit a fire to keep warm, police increased their presence in the area in an attempt to make sure there was "no repeat" of events.

Fylde Police also shared a statement to the public yesterday (June 25) in response to reports from residents around Lytham.

"We understand that it has been a difficult time for everyone recently, particularly young people who won’t have been able to socialise with their friends in the environments they are used to, but the coronavirus regulations are still in place and they are there to protect people and save lives," the statement said.

"The virus definitely hasn’t gone away and many areas of the North West continue to see high infection rates.

"We will continue to engage with people and will take a proportionate policing approach – but we will not hesitate to use powers available to us if we need to."

Parents have been asked to make their children aware that these events can be harmful for their health, and could also potentially result in them getting into trouble.

The statement added: "Recent events in the region, which have been unregulated and unsafe, have seen serious issues reported and the safety of people at them simply can’t be guaranteed."
