RIBBLE VALLEY Mobile Warden Service


• Have your parents or relatives ever got into difficulties in the past and been unable to summon for help?


• Do they live alone or in sheltered accommodation with neighbours away all day?


We would like to offer you 'Peace o f Mind' with the knowledge that we will assist them if they got into


difficulties.


Our trained Mobile Warden Team are available 24 hours a day, 365 days o f the year waiting to respond to calls.


How does it work?


It couldn't be simpler. We supply the client with a pendant panic button and install a small response unit under the telephone. When the pendant is pressed, it


automatically sends a call to the response unit which in turn alerts the Mobile Warden who attends to your calls.


For a free demonstration please ring Yvonne Carter RGN on 01200 442656


How little does it cost?


After an initial installation fee o f £35, the cost is only £6 per week. There is no charge for the equipment.

loses mast appeal


VODAPHONE LTD has lost an appeal against an order to remove the mast the company erected in Longridge without plan­ ning permission. . Ribble Valley MP Nigel E v an s s a id : “ I. am delighted that the local residents have won this battle. This is a stark warning to these large telecommunication com­ panies that they have -to think twice before just erecting these masts wherever they feel like it. “In the future they must


work with the local com­ munities to work out sites


that are acceptable to all involved. 1 hope that Vudaphone will accept this


decision and remove this eyesore from Longridge


well before the six-week deadline.
