combine his love of climbing with raising money for a hear t - wrenching cause. "It just seemed logi

Martin James, who writes a regular column for the “Advertiser and Times" anti is himself a multiple sclerosis sufferer. Mr James was contacted
for advice by the “A- Team," which was consid ering building a fishing platform for the disabled in the North West. Despite the fact that
several areas wanted the ramp, he promptly per suaded the team that the' Ribble Valley area had many disabled people who would love the opportunity to fish — and a site was eliosen at Harnsfold Trout Fishery, between Chip ping and (iuosnargh. The special platform
erected by the “A-Team" on Saturday features a safety rail round the edge, a base to which wheel chairs can he tied as their users east their Hies, and a smooth approach patli with toi let fac i l i t ie s nearbv. Said Mrs Welch: "1 had

AN appeal to kibble Valley residents to "have smile civic pride” and not dump their rubbish in the sur rounding countryside has come at the start ot next week’s national 'Environment Week from the chair man of Ribblesdale Rotary Club's community service
committee. Mr Ted .Ashcroft appealed to people to take their
litter home or take it down to the local waste disposal tip. "Debris in our countryside varies from paper and
empty bottles and cans to discarded oil drums, cloth
ing and tvres,” he declared. To prove their point, Mr Ashcroft and cither mem
bers of the club will meet on Clitlieroe’s inner bypass at Lincoln Wav at 7 p.m. today to undertake their
annual spring litter clean-up. Members will collect all litter on the roadside
between the A5!) and the new roundabout at Chat- buni Road, hoping they will not come across quite as much as the 20 sackfuls they collected last year!
Environment Wed, is being highlighted by kib
ble Valley Council with an exhibition in the council offices foyer showing tile danger of discarding litter in the countryside and the effect it can have on wild life. This exhibition will he staged until the end of May. wile'll it will move to the tourist information cent re and later he loaned to organisations and' schools. It will also cover recycling in the area. Already
the council has earmarked sites at Chipping and Mel lon for recycling buttles, cans and newspapers. In addition, four council litter wardens will he out

produce less sulphur emissions. "Orimulsion's cheapness
will allow I'adihaiii Rower Station to operate at full capacity which, at the moment, it does not," he said. “The last thing 1 want to see is more sul phur released into the
