Big campaign by police on summer drink-driving


A CAMPAIGN to crack down on drink-driving on the Ribble Valley’s roads will be launched by


Lancashire Constabulary on Tuesday. Accident Prevention Officer Insp. Peter Stas warned


that drink-driving is a year-long problem and the new campaign will warn drivers about the summertime danger. He said: “Traditionally, it is thought most people who


are guilty of drinking and driving do so at Christmas and New Year. But we know people are very likely to

tine’s chose the project as this year’s charity to sup­ port, after their head­ teacher,- Mr Anthony McNamara, was involved with it at a previous school. His talks with the 12 to 13 year-olds inspired them to help the charity. Activities including spon­ sored events, baking days and special quizzes were organised by the children, and most of the money was raised from other children in the school. At an assembly on Mon­


day, the children performed a drama and were present­ ed with a piece of batik art on the Holy Family, creat­ ed by the Indian people they helped. Each child was presented a tiny cruci­ fix made in the village.
