Pat on the back for Castle Cement after shutdown following complaints


CASTLE Cement has been praised for shutting down its dins when odours were detected coming from its


chimney. Said Coun. Harry Backhouse, Waddington representative on


,|tibble Valley Borough Council: " I t is good th a t they reacted quickly and closed down the


kilns." Friends of the Earth said there


had been 10 complaints from local residents on Tuesday, July 17th, to the Environment Agency. An automatic monitoring device at Lillands revealed particulates


Downpour still delights the ducks!


i


IT might have been good weather for real ducks when Clitheroe Lions held their annual plastic duck race, but the event still raised £800 for local charities. Feathers were ruffled


wm m in Pendleton the Ribble Valley's own monthly magazine It's all about you!' Bon't -


when bad weather and then a downpour threat­ ened to make the race on Edisford river a washout, but it was all smiles again when the then president Mr Colin Underwood, right in our photo, and Lion Mr David Moore had finished counting donations and met with Miss Julie Ridgeway, of Clitheroe's branch of travel shop Althams, which sponsored the first prize. Miss Ridgeway handed


over a £250 travel vouch­ er to the duo to pass on to


race winner K. Humphries. A donated five-deck music system was second prize. I t was won by B. J. Humpheys, while W. Barker collected the third prize of a £50 Sainsbury's voucher.


Lottery boost for charity


AN improvement in help for families who need it in the Clitheroe area has received a big boost from the Lottery community fund. Home-Start Ribble Valley


has started operations from its new, larger premises on the Sidings Business Park, Whalley, which lottery funding helped to provide. _ At its first coffee morning,

soared at just after 5 a.m. to 71.6 -


21.6 above the warning level. The situation fluctuated way


above the level until 11 a.m. A spokesman for Friends of the


Earth said: "The residents' com­ plaints and fears are justified, because the air monitor at Lillands signalled 29 warnings and six alarms. "This indicated that potentially


of pollution was allowed to contin­ ue in the area for over 12 hours before final action was taken." He said they also wanted to


detected by Castle Cement. The kilns were shut down to prevent a breach of the conditions." The Environment Agency was


know why no figures had been available from the second air moni­ tor, at Chatburn, for two months. He claimed also that both moni­


cancer-producing particulates reached double the maximum ceil­ ing objective of 50 for over six hours, with recorded readings as high as 161, which is more than


three times the limit. "We want to know from the


Environment Agency why this level


tors had been showing incorrect wind directions for months. Offences are normally only com­ mitted when average 24-hour read­


ings exceed levels. The Environment Agency


spokesman said kilns five and six were shut down by Castle Cement, one at 6-24 p.m., the other at 6-56 p.m. that day. "During the day odours had been


informed and officers were sent, to the site to investigate. He said the correct procedures were followed. The kilns were closed down for at


least 24 hours. Coun. Backhouse said he was


confident that the machinery was in place to control emissions from Castle Cement. "We will always get people cam­


paigning. It is a good thing, it keeps the rest of us on our toes. There is no need to jump up and down cry­ ing wolf,” he added.


Firm hits huge charity


target A PANCAKE race at the


Clitheroe branch of Booths Supermarkets was just one of the events which contributed to the firm reaching its £30,000 charity target in three


years. The money has been


handed over to Christie's Against Cancer to help new development in can­ cer diagnoses, research and treatment. Booths branches in the North West took part in


all sorts of weird and wonderful fund-raising events in the last three years.


Charity will help bring much-needed work


ANOTHER well- planned employment diversification project is planned for the Rib­


ble Valley. Various agencies have


come together to help pro­ mote a Poorslands Chari­ ty bid to create eight small offices or lig h t industrial workshops a t Poorslands Bam, near the River Hodder, just outside


Slaidbum. Despite some against-


policy features, Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council Plan­ ning and Development Committee has approved conversion of a barn to house five of the units, with the other three separate - one in a two-storey new- build section linked to the main bam by a corridor. A reception area will


form an important feature of the actively-managed facilities and monitoring arrangements will link with the management of the pro­ posed new resource centre and village hall across the river. There will be car parking


at the rear and some at the front for visitors. A report to the commit­ tee said that the new build


element of the plan was big­ ger than policy allowed, and th a t some car parking would intrude a short way on to a special grassland


site. Nevethless, approval was


recommended because the


site lent itself well to com­ mercial use and the scheme achieved the right balance of sensitive design and mod­


ern elements. The project, said the ;


report, may be linked to the creation of a community- ■ based financial institution for the Hodder Valley. The situation was given


added urgency and impor- . tance due to the devastat- * ing effects of foot and •


mouth. The planning permission ■ _


has 20 conditions covering ; routine matters and others - such as a ban on raised j pointing, the need for habi- * tat protection, bat habitat, ! landscaping and car park- J ing plans, the retention of i the date stone and 8 a. m. to ; 6 p. m. working six days a week, with none on Sun- ; days or Bank Holidays. Agencies involved in the .


scheme, ap a r t from the ‘ charity itself, include the ' North West Partnership, SRB5 funding and the ' Leader Plus Programme.
