Lapel pins to help cover Britain with crocuses


FOLLOWING on from a national breast cancer charity's campaign to "Cover Britain with Crocuses”, Ribble Valley Borough Council will be selling lapel pins depicting the purple flower to boost the


fund further. The purple crocus is the symbol for the


research charity Breakthrough for Breast Cancer, which is committed to keeping alive the hope that breast cancer can be beaten. In association with the electrical retailer, Comet, the charity will be helping to add an extra splash of colour to spring by covering Britain in more than 300,000


crocuses. Along with more than 300 councils in


towns and cities across the country, 1,000 purple crocus bulbs were planted in Clitheroe Castle grounds last autumn in memory of the 1,000 women who died from breast cancer every month in the UK. Ribble Valley Borough Council will be

Limestone pave­ ment is an irreplaceable landscape, which we should treat with respect and rev­ erence, but only 2,600 hectares remain, of which only 3% is completely undamaged."
