[ Pat on back | for young ! enterprise


participants TRIBUTE was paid to participants in the Young Enterprise Scheme by Coun. John Cliff (Lon- gridge) at the Ribble Val­ ley Council’s Policy and Resources Committee. He said he had been


extremely impressed fol lowing his involvement with young people at one of the schools taking part in the scheme. -The group had achieved


a; target sale o f 1,000 brooches in Longridge, which has a population of just 8,000. ■ t Councillors were being


asked .-to consider giving financial support to the “Livewire Lancashire” ini­ t ia t iv e — a nat ional scheme encouraging young people to develop ideas for self-employment. Coun. William Bowker


(Chipping) said he would prefer to see any donation channelled in the right direction through the Rib­ ble Valley Enterprise Agency.. “ It. could be far m o r e -b e n e f ic ia l than throwing a small sum of m o n e y th r o u g h o u t Lancashire.” Chief Exe cutive Mr

THE campaign against drink driving will con­ tinue to be a top priority for the police, the annual Ribble Valley licensing session heard


this week. . This was stated by Chief


Supt. Allan Williams in his report to the Bench, at Clitheroe, on drink-related offences and licensing matters for 1988. He said there had been


63 convictions for drink driving during the year in the Ribble Valley, com­ pared with 60 in 1987. The campaign was an


on-going one, not just for* Christmas and the New


Year, he said. However, he felt that


the campaign had still to make greater “ inroads” into the problem. “The message from the police is do not drink and drive, for it causes not only serious injury for drivers, but also death to innocent mem­ bers of the public.” Reporting on the exten­


sion of licensing hours in August, the chief superin­ tendent said that it had not brought a noticeable increase in offences of


had it affected the way premises had been con-


ducted, which "generally


were well run.” But he added a caution­


ary note, saying that it was difficult to accurately assess the effect of the extension of hours in so short a time. He also pointed out that


only a small number of licensees were operating extra hours and the rea­ sons varied from financial implications to the needs of the locality. Use of the extended hours had been noticeable towards the weekends and over holiday periods. During the year, 25 males, including seven


juveniles, and five females were convicted for drunk­ enness, compared with 21 males and no females in 1987. The most regretta­ ble aspect, he said, con- c e r n e d th e s e v e n


juveniles. Chief Supt. Williams


pointed out that police


"drunkenness "and other officers _ had made 7<)0 anti-social behaviour, nor visits to licensed premises


during 1988, compared with 551 the year before. During such visits, his officers warned licensees of their responsiblity to ensure that under-age drinking did not occur and that other licensing laws


were upheld. He reported a “ small

and one. “ In this kind of case one
