out the drink-driver, says survey Significantly better attitudes seen by offficers to alcohol limit


by Sheila Nixon


DRIVERS in Lancashire sup­ port tough action to catch drink-drivers and view the enforcement of road safety law as one of the most impor­ tant things the police do, according to research pub­


lished recently. The findings also reveal that peo­ ple who were stopped at police


checkpoints as part of the 1998 Christmas drink-driving crack­


down had significantly better-atti­ tudes to staying within alcohol lim­ its than other Lancashire drivers and that the campaign seems to


have been effective. The publication of the research,


commissioned jointly by Lan­ cashire County Council and Lan­ cashire Constabulary, comes as wel­ come news to the police as they carry out their summer drink-drive operations across the county. Road safety co-ordinator Chief


Insp. Ian Bell said: "In recent years, the number of people caught for drinking and driving has been


falling and we have seen this as a sign that drivers' attitudes are changing for the better. "Because of this success, we have


•


had to ask ourselves whether we should continue to run this kind of campaign. We needed to know whether the public supports the activity and whether it is bringing benefits." Asked about the acceptability of


various types of road safety mea­ sures, 85.1% of those surveyed said they were happy with high profile enforcement of the law on drink­ driving. Almost 83% were happy


with roadside checkpoints being used to breath-test or give advice to


its VtPl Tl


drivers. Four out of five people sup­ ported more breathalysing around pub closing times and a similar number supported random breath­


testing. One worrying note tor the police


was that, although 58% favoured a | change in the law to prevent any drinking while driving, 7.5% still believed it was possible tor some people to drive safely after drinking the equivalent of three or tour


pints.

THERE were 168 exhibits of a very high standard at the annual show of Downham and Twiston Gardening Club in the village hall


on Saturday. The flower classes were


well-supported, with a number of tubs and con­ tainers so packed with plants of many varieties and colours that squeezing them through the door was


a problem.

Government under attack for moves to increase TV licence


MP for the Ribble Valley Nigel Evans has attacked Government moves to increase the price


of TV licences for those with digital capacity. In his broadside against cial freedom to compete


the Government's policy on the future of the BBC, he argued that the corporation should open its doors to the commercial market or risk losing out to the competi­


tion. He commented: "Why


introduce a further exten­ sion of the 'TV poll tax,' when companies are queue­ ing up to inject private cap­ ital into many areas of the BBC? BBC digital and BBC on-line are obvious areas where the future of the BBC lies and so they must be given the commer-


innovate and lead the way in the technology revolu­ tion which is under way in this country." He added that the licence


fee increase for digital view­ ers could ultimately hit the pockets of elderly people and the poorest in society by "stealth." If the BBC is not run in the vein of lead­ ing independent commer­ cial companies it risks "lag­ ging behind" the field, and the quality of programmes will suffer as a result, rea­ soned Mr Evans.


Exciting shots for the camera club


FLAMES of enthusiasm were fanned by an 'musra* Ph°' tographic opportunity when members of Ribblesclale


Camera Club met at Stonyhurst Golf Club. Disappointed by misty and wet weather, \vhich put a


damper on planned landscape photography, the evening was saved when car park fires were lit for a demonstration of different types of fire extinguishers. It provided wmera club members with the chance to shoot some spectacular


action shots.


Those planning to attend are asked to contact either the chairman or Trevor or Leslie Marklew.


The club next meets for a barbecue a week tomorrow. ___________

THE pull of the water - the River Ribble at Edisford to be precise - helped to give a local charity a £900


boost. Following a successful second duck race


held in May, members of Clitheroe Lions were able to present a cheque for £900 to Dr Mike Smith at the Crossroads Care


office in Clitheroe. The duck race attracted scores of spec


tators and participants as hundreds of brightly-coloured plastic replicas bobbed


along the River Ribble for 200 yards from


Edisford Bridge, Clitheroe. Pictured presenting the cheque to Dr


Smith is, left, former Lions' president Mr Roger Williams. (220699/9/23)
