DS Jack Wareing


Promotion for


His promotion was effective as from Monday.


detective Detective Constable Jack Wareing, stationed in Clitheroe, has been pro­ moted to the rank of Detective Sergeant and wil be taking up duties in Blackburn.


DS Wareing nas Been in the police force for 12 years and in the CID for four. He has been stationed in Clitheroe since March of last year.


Dust and noise which it is claimed comes largely from a quarry, have become a nuisance to residents in the higher reaches of Chatburn Road and to Clitheroe hospital.


The noise emanates from a crushing plant that is opera­


ting round the clock. Mr. James Brown, of Park House, Chalburn Road, described the noise as “terrible”. He had not had a full night’s sleep for about four.months.' The noise went on all night apart from an hour’s break


around midnight. “You manage to doze off and then you are awakened by the noise of hooters or machines.” Ml-.


dust problem was "very bad”. When he first complained about the dust there was a dirt track behind his house and the amount of dust sent up by lorries was terrific. However,


— Brown added that the


tarmacadam had been laid but even so, vehicles still raised dust. There were times when dust


covered the' window sills and the garden. In wet weather,


dust on the pavement turned into thick mud.


When he first joined the force, DS Wareing spent a short time in Bamber Bridge and from there was sent to Sea- forth, in Liverpool, where he did crime and foot patrol. He came to Clitheroe from there.


Blackburn


Born in Blackburn ,DS Ware­ ing attended Blakey Moor Boys’ School and in 1947 played left half for the England Schoolboys.


During his National Service he was a corporal with the East Lancashire Regiment and also was a physical • training, instructor, t. . r>/~


Married.-- with^'two . children-, DS Wareing now lives in Clitheroe.
