Looking for story of business success


RIBBLE VALLEY firms are invited to join the race to find Britain’s most entrepreneurial success


story. As part of the “Business


in Britain” initiative, a regional and national “Growing Business of the Year” awards scheme has been launched. Mr Anthony Leon, the


Standen Road, was also ordered to pay £35 costs by the town’s magistrates. Miss Patricia Bramley,


Darren Leecy (24), of


prosecuting, told the court that Leecy was living with


his girlfriend and her four children when the assault occurred. He had gone out for the


evening and later she also left the house. When she returned, she found the house in a mess and Leecy drunk and agitated. The court was told that

an argument ensued and Leecy grabbed his girl­ friend, then head-butted her, injuring her nose. She went to a neighbouring house with Leecy in pur­ suit, threatening to kill himself, Miss Bramley said. His girlfriend later attended Blackburn Royal Infirmary for treatment. Mr Stephen Barker, in


mitigation, said the inci­ dent occurred while Leecy was under the influence of drink and drugs and because he was angry when he found his girl­ friend had gone out, leav­ ing the children alone at


home. “He would say that the


initial physical contact was by her. She dug her nails into his arm. These marks remained for some consid­ erable time. What he did was defend himself,” Mr Barker said. “He would say that the

Facing fines for stubble burning


RIBBLE VALLEY farmers burning crop residues in fields face fines of up to £5,000, after new regula­ tions came into force at the end of last month. Ribble Valley Council’s Environmental and Social


Service Committee heard at a meeting that the Crop Residues (Burning) Regulations 1993 would punish farmers who caused severe nuisance by stubble burn­ ing after harvesting. The new regulations ban the burning of cereal


straw and the residues of oilseed, field beans and peas harvested dry.
