Extra police to crack down on festive crime


EXTRA police officers are being drafted into the Ribble Valley for a Christmas crime


crackdown. The officers, seconded from their usual ,


duties at constabulary headquarters in Hut­ ton, have already been briefed to identify key target offenders and will be conducting high visibility" patrols aimed at reducing the num­ ber of burglaries, which traditionally increase


at this time of year as


thieves take advantage of the extra property people have stored in their homes as Christ­


mas gifts. Said a police spokes­

m i t te e is ta k in g th e impetus started by the report forward - lack of a car p a rk is seen by many as th e main problem, b u t i t seems an insoluble one. At the very least, the


dents, 81%, get informa­ tion about events taking place from our columns! The survey was com­


pleted by 152 out of the 250 households to whom one was delivered. There are some 1,000 houses altogether and the one- in-seven judgement was seen as representative by the appraisal team. Members felt th a t a larger sample would not have been any b e t te r and pointed out that key national surveys rely on a much smaller percent­


age of replies. Numerous complaints

improvements. The Clitheroe Adver­


were to be expected, but there was at least some gratitude by residents for the good things they


enjoy. Indeed, 83 out of the


292 people who had moved into Whalley, more than a quarter, said it was because it was an attractive area. This did not include the 33 who moved in on retirement — other incomers were here for family or employ­ ment reasons. "Whalley is a beauti­


ful village which is a pleasure to live in,"


wrote one respondent. But another warned: "It seems that every public green space is vulnerable at a time when the vil­ lage is to grow substa-

were very largely in favour of the village pay­

Gardens." As expected, there


were many complaints


about crime, litter, late- night disturbance, school places, s tree t lighting and too many houses.


But the appraisal .


team was surprised that almost half the specific complaints were about transport-related issues. These covered conges­ tion as well as parking, increase in vehicle num­ bers and speeding. The quality of street


lighting in the library and Abbey-named roads


area was criticised. A business appraisal


received 23 replies, five from people who lived in the village as well as were employers there. Nearly all the respon­

l DEDICATED head Mr Rob Pye, of Edisford County Primary School, Clitheroe, has set his own wheels in motion to help a pupil


I achieve her Christmas wish. For a fortnight, he is cycling 40


miles a day from his Broughton home to school and back, as well as 50 miles on Saturdays and Sundays, to raise money for the Tina Stevenson wheel­ chair appeal fund. Outside home, Tina (nine), who has cerebral palsy, needs a special electric wheelchair to get about but it comes with a £2,500


Yet undeterred, Tina's family and


friends are rallying round and hope to have enough money to buy her the wheelchair in time for Christmas. Sponsored by staff and parents, Mr


Pye's efforts should boost their cam­ paign by more than £400. A member of the Red Rose Cycling Club, Mr Pye is pictured receiving a rousing send off by Tina and members of the school's new cheerleading club, found­ ed by teacher and Blackburn Rovers cheerleader Miss Alison Smalley. (J021101/3)

ing for a litter warden or road sweeper. Whilst they naturally felt that new housing would pro­ vide more customers, they also pointed out th a t too much traffic with no parking provi­ sion could have an adverse effect on busi­


ness. The appraisal team . , ,


was chaired by the Rev Chris Sterry, Vicar of Whalley, who himself has paid sincere tribute to the secretary, Dr Vio- leta Holmes and her hus­ band Dr Chris Holmes. He mentioned their


hard work in dealing with the mass of paper­ work and organising and hosting many meetings


at their home. The other members of


the committee were Coun. the Rev. Michael Ackroyd, Coun. Stephen Barker, Mr Ray Half­ penny, Coun. Joyce Ilol- gate and Mr Ken Read-

man: "It is also our aim to increase the number of people arrested for bur­ glary. We recognise that burglary is an upsetting crime for anyone to have to experience. However,


we can only make a real impact on targeting those people suspected of committing offences of burglary with help from the community. We always encourage any one with information about an offence or offender to contact us The public also has a part to play by locking doors and windows and leaving house lights on


when they go out." The crackdown, code


named Operation Reas­ sure, launched earlier this week and will run to January 25th..
