Ribble Valley crime audit takes an interesting look at area


by Tim Procter ■


A VARIETY of social and criminal lessons are offered in the recent au d it of offences covering the whole of the Rib­


ble Valley. The audit is a key part of the


crime reduction bid spearheaded by the Government which we recently


reported. I t deals with the number and


type of offences over the past three years - but puts them in context for each community, using profiles with various types of information. Much of it is from the 1991 census and so some may be slightly out of date. In Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley,


In Bolton-by-Bowland there was


also lower than average home own­ ership, 69%, and there was also above average car access. Less than a fifth of residents were pensionable and only nine per cent had limiting long-term illness, against a borough average of 13%. The percentage of residents affected by a crime over the three years, 1.2, was lowest in


the borough. One person was responsible for a

selves - St James's, the smallest in., the borough, had 87% owner occu- - pancy, well above average, in its predominently stone-built terraced housing. The Grammar School Ward, swollen by new housing, also had above average. - Just over a quarter of the Ribble


Valley's crime figure related to Clitheroe, but it had 40% of the juvenile nuisance. The built up nature of the area was believed responsible for the 40% of violent


crime. Gisburn and Rimington had

Derek’s hat-trick in camera club’s first contest of season


THE Ribble Valley was one of two themes for the f irst competition of the Ribblesdale Camera Club's winter series. The second was open and both were judged by local professional photogra­ pher Mr John Barry. In the prints, a water lily


by Derek Williams was placed first. He also won second and third places. The open prints was a very close contest, four entries gaining the same top mark but first placed being Mike Bartle's action shot among the Gondoliers in Venice, with water splashing about everywhere. He also took third and fourth places, with Derek Williams’ beau­ tiful high key colour print of a rose second. The slides were well sup­


ported, and Steve Ashcroft took first place with an unusual shot on Parlick of a road sign in sunshine with the valley below full of mist. Joint second went to Ken


sunlight. The open slides class was


won by Trevor Marklew with a sunset in the Scillies, followed by four joint sec­ onds, including an unusual nature photograph by the same member of a back-lit seagull in flight. There was also a superb portrait of a lemon seller by David Pom- fret and two contrasting studies by Ken Geddes, one a young mother and child and the other an under­ ground radio expert taken during an excerciso over a mile from the entrance of White Scar cave, under Ingleborough. In all, the standard of the
