Council accused of complacency on pollution
A N accusation of being “unduly complacent” has been levied at part of Ribble Valley Coun-
cil s present strategy to deal with air pollution problems.
Although the council
investigates^ complaints of air pollution as soon as possible, and in all cases within two working days of receiving the complaint, Coun. Frank Dyson (Clith eroe) still believes it to be “unduly complacent when it looks at the number of complaints and the way it responds.” Other councillors backed
him up. One said that air pollution, by its nature,
was easily dispersed and two days was too long a
time to deal with the problem. The debate took place at
a meeting of the Environ mental and Social Services Committee, which was considering the effective ness of its present strat egy to deal with air pollu- tion problems in the Ribble Valley. Speaking in support of
the s t ra te g y was Mr James Russell, the coun cil’s Environmental Health Manager, who said: “The general policy we have is that we try to get out as

Director o f Community Services, Mr David Mor ris, stated that there was also an increasing number of complaints and this was concerned with the public involvement over Castle C em en t ’ s burning o f Cemfuel. Councillors agreed that

prevent air pollution; and introducing appropriate monitoring systems in accordance with national strategy — is being suc cessfully implemented.
ager of Brockhall Village in July last year. He said at the time: “ I have
had the honour of chairing the planning committee for many years, but an opportunity like this does not come along every day. Now I have the chance to focus on one project, the aims of which are close to my heart.” A spokesman for Mr Hit
man’s firm said: “ I t was a mutual agreement between Mr Hitman and Mr Thomas that Mr Thomas should leave.” On the planning application,
the Kibble Valley Council’s for mer Director of Development, Mr Philip Bailey, is named as the agent. Coun. Thomas intends to use the 1,175 sq.m, floor space of
the former Brockhall Hospital kitchens for his proposed ven ture, which is supported by a statement on the application saying it will be “a further ele ment in the overall experience o f mixed re ta i l and arts attractions.” N eith er Mr Hitman nor
Coun. Thomas were available for comment this week.

Possible link-up for CCTV
monitoring A MEETING to dis cuss linking up Clith eroe’s CCTV system to a monitoring station in Accrington has been held.
B o r o u g h c o u n c i l
officers, the police and members of Ribble Valley Partnership considered the possibility of linking the system’s first seven cameras by telephone line to a private monitoring station in Accrington.
Hymn-sing raises the roof at Chatburn
A SPONSORED hymn-sing certainly raised the roof at Chatburn Methodist Church on
Sunday afternoon from 2-30 to 6 p.m. Ninety hymns had been sponsored and the con
gregation, represented by all churches in the Clith- eroe Circuit, enjoyed singing the popular and well- known hymns which were introduced by choirmas ter Mr Roy Porter, who gave brief information on the writers and composers.
Cups o f tea were served at intervals to keep the vocal chords well and truly oiled and the mammoth
task o f accompanying all the hymns on the organ was undertaken magnificently by Mr Clifford Johnson. It is expected that more than £200 will be raised
for Methodist Homes for the Aged, which is build ing two new homes for the care o f people with Alz heimer’s disease. Thanks were expressed to all who supported the effort so generously.
Our picture shows Mr Clifford Jqhnson seated .at the organ surrounded by willing singers and choir master Mr Roy Porter (extreme right).

Top honours for Venture Scouts
THREE Langho Venture Scouts received Scouting’s highest honour — the Queen’s Scout Award — at a ceremony at the Dun- kenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors, on
Sunday. Chief Scout William Garth Morrison travelled from
London to present the trio and 11 other Scouts from other parts of East Lancashire with their certificates.
The Lango recipients were Jane Anne Brewer (18),
of Moorgate Farm, Dinckley, a sixth-form student at St Mary’s RC College, Blackburn; Claire Joanne Schofield (19), of Whalley Road, Langho, an under graduate at Worcester University; and Suzanne Claire Holden (18), of Rogersfield, Langho, a student of occupational therapy at Derby University.
As already reported in the “Advertiser and Times” ,
the girls qualified for the award by proving a high standard of skill and commitment in various activi ties, such as community service, overnight expedi tions and sport.
The picture shows the girls receiving their certifi
cates from the Chief Scout. From the left: Jane, Claire and Suzanne.

the council's drive to pro mote recycling. Coun. Yearing, who
represents Clitheroe’s Trinity, Low Moor and Edisford Ward, feels that local businesses should not take the changes lying
down. From February 6th, any
trader who uses a van to visit one of the 13 recy cling centres in East Lan cashire operated by Lan cashire Waste Services Ltd will find he is charged
either £5, £10 or £15, depending on the type of vehicle. Trailers will also
be charged, depending on size. In a letter to a Clitheroe
shopkeeper, which had been passed to Coun. Yearing, a spokesman for the County Surveyor said: “Historically, it has been county council policy to accept commercial waste, free of charge, at house hold waste disposal sites, providing it is delivered in small vehicles. “We are unusual in Lan
cashire in providing this type of service. A survey carried out in the northern and c en tra l counties showed that only one out of 15 responding is willing to receive commercial
waste free of charge.” The spokesman said
that, under the council’s contract with Lancashire Waste Services Ltd, non household waste should be accepted, but the contrac tor might levy a charge.
Neither the company, nor previously the county council, had consistently charged because o f the problem of arranging for site attendants to hold cash.
Coun. Yearing said he
was alerted to tne change by a trader in his ward. He was concerned because the charges were going to affect a lot more people than in the past and would act as a disincentive for recycling. The charge for clean, sorted waste will be half the normal rate, but Coun. Yearing said that traders were still being charged for something which previously had been free.
Coun. Yearing said that
he was worried that the new charges w ere an encouragement to fly-tip ping, with the costs to the environment and the bor ough council which that inevitably involved.
Coun. Yearing said:“ I
shall take my recyclable waste to Clitheroe’s Pen- dle Club for it to sort and sell and I suggest other businessmen should con sider something similar. I do not think Lancashire Waste Services is likely to move on this one, but i f it were to end up losing money through the change it might think again.” There were other prob
lems. The county council says that household waste will be accepted, with no charge in vehicles up to
Transit van size, but “dri vers of such vehicles may be requested to confirm in
writing that the waste delivered is household
waste” . Coun. Yearing said:
“Workers at the disposal centre will now have to approach members of the public and question them. This could be difficult and embarrassing and this is on top of new duties they will have, collecting and administering charges." A system of pre-paid
tickets available at a dis count will operate, but Coun. Yearing says that workers’ responsibilities will clearly be changed and
extended. Coun. Yearing said that
the situation now was that, despite the level of business tax, a trader would pay i f he went to the tip, just as he did i f he put non-household waste out for collection in the bags he had paid for. He wondered i f the new charges were not the first sign of a policy some time in the future where the householder would find he was charged as well. Clitheroe Chamber of
Trade President Judith Hitchen said: “This will be another charge on small businesses for something which they thought was covered by their rates.
The business rate is so high anyway and we get less and less for it each y e a r . The council is encouraging people to dump waste.” Mrs Hitchen said that
years ago the chamber had campaigned for members to recycle waste through worthwhile charities like
the Pendle Club and that was one way of dealing with some waste, but not all the rubbish which shops had to handle could be dealt with in that way. A spokesman for the
council said: “Lancashire County Council has always had a policy of charging fo r disposal o f trade waste. Previously, traders paid a fiat rate o f £15 which is some cases was not always levied because of cash handling problems at some centres. However, as we are receiving more trade waste, we are now implementing charges at all centres.”
Lancashire Waste Ser
vices operates household waste disposal centres on the council’s behalf and policy is determined by the county council.
Last week’s “Advertiser
and Times” revealed that it could cost ratepayers £50,000 before a perma nent monitoring station and a fu r th e r se ven cameras could be installed.
In the report, the chair
man o f Ribble V a l ley Partnership, Mr Don Wil son, said that the emer gency centre, in York Street, would be the moni toring station in the long run, while the private Accrington station would be used for the next 12 months.
Speaking a f te r the
meeting, the council’s Director of Development, Mr John Heap, said they had discussed the technical side of carrying out the monitoring, including the use of telephone lines to transmit pictures. The council would keep the public informed of any fur ther developments.
Alarm scares o f f thieves
AN A LARM frightened burglars at a house in Grindleton, but they still left with more than £300 worth of property. They used a stone to
break a window and gain entry to the house in Grindleton Road, before stealing property from the lounge. A Philip’s Micro CD sys
tem, a cigarette box witn a Persian pattern design, and a carriage clock in a mahogany case, were stolen.
