"H ELP us cross Station Road in safely" is the plea from a group of \ \ bailey residents to high­ way officials. Villager Mr Stephen


Murray, who is co-ordi­ n a ting a campaign to have a pedestrian cross­ ing installed on the road, says it is just a matter of time before someone is killed. "They won’t be injured on here; they will he killed." he said. The father-of-two says that the increased volume

"I- think it would be absurd and per­

Whalley's representative on Kibble Valley borough Council, collected the resi­ dents' petition and will pass it on to officials at Lan­ cashire County Council.


She is also backing the cam- paign and says that the


traffic islands are an unac­ ceptable solution. Conn. Ilolgate added that on numerous occasions in the past she has written to the county council herself ask­ ing for a crossing to be installed on either Milton Road or Station Road in a bid to help pedestrians. A spokesman for Lan­


cashire County Council said: "There are some facili­ ties going in here to aid pedestrians crossing the road, however, a formal pedestrian crossing would


not necessarily bring any greater safety. The facilities planned here are widely used successfully in areas such as this where there are comparatively few pedes­ trians. "We will look at wdiat

AN evening spent watching the England versus Germany foot­ ball match with friends ended in a Gisburn man's "worst night­


mare." Erratic driving led to Andrew 29), of the Old Chapel,


Main Street, Gisburn, being arrest­ Paul Hook i‘


ed at 3 a. m. in the morning and found to have a blood-alcohol figure of 90 against the maximum permitted 35. Ill court at Blackburn, Hook was fined tfGOO with k35 costs and given a


two-year driving ban. He admitted driving when over the limit and agreed to be referred to a rehabilita­ tion programme which will cut the ban by six months if successfully com­ pleted. Mrs Margaret Duckworth (prose­


cuting) said that two North Yorkshire police officers driving from Preston to Skipton saw Hook's car travelling erratically towards his home in Gis- burn. They spoke to him, smelled alcohol and took him to Skipton. Mr Ian Iluggan (defending) said


that the incident had caused his client a great deal of distress, remorse and shame. "He says it is his worst night­ mare and the offence and the appear­ ance in court have caused him a great deal of stress." Hook had intended to go home by


taxi, but had become separated from his friends and had foolishly decided to drive home. Hook worked as an IT salesman


based in Harrogate, and the disquali­ fication would cause him serious diffi­ culties.
