HOPES of improving Clith- eroe's town centre television system and extending it to Whalley have received an encouraging signal from the
Government. Top officials have told the Rib-
ble Valley Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership th a t its outline plan can now proceed to
the final bid stage. Up to £750,000 is sought under
the national Crime Prevention Pro gramme CCTV initiative, which is being strongly flagged up, and given funding, as part of the Gov ernment's "tough on crime" pro gramme. But the various parties involved in the local partnership need to review the implications of the new step forward. One of the
key players is the Ribble Valley Borough Council, whose Chief Executive, Mr David Morris, is preparing a detailed report for Pol icy and Finance Committee mem bers to consider on March 27th. The encouraging news was given
at a meeting of the full council, but leader Coun. Peter Redpath (Read) again emphasised a point made all along - the only funding in the council budget is for maintain ing the existing system, not for con tributing to a better one in Clitheroe or an additional one in Whalley. Submission of the bid so far has not committed the council to any financial support. Coun. Redpath said that the only money offered to the local crime reduction partnership for a new system was £2,000 from the police to help with the costs of running it in both com
munities. "Neither Clitheroe Town Council nor Whalley Parish Coun cil have offered any monies to sup port a new CCTV system. There has been no offer of money from either Whalley Chamber of Trade or Clitheroe Chamber of Trade,"
. . ... ___m___
said Coun. Redpath. He commented that the financial
implications of any new or improved CCTV system were of the utmost importance to the coun cil. "They will be considered very carefully by the Policy and Finance Committee," assured Coun. Red-
path. He said that the council would he

Advances in both viewing and recording tech nology since the present cameras were designed would be available in system improvements and could prove important in view of late- night problems in the town centres. Our February 22nd report of a
Whalley Parish Council meeting reflected discussion about borough council "plans" to put up some of
the money. However, as made clear at the
policy and finance meeting, there are none at the moment and the bid is being submitted by the partner ship, not the council.

‘Unfit conduct’ couple banned from being company directors
"UNFIT conduct" has led to a Whalley couple being banned as company direc tors.
They had been involved
with a franchise operation which failed owing over a third of a million pounds to
creditors. Manchester . County
V O L V O for life
Court ordered that Andrew Whittaker, of Whalley Banks Farm, Whalley, must not take part in the promotion, formation or management of any compa ny for six years. The court made a similar
order against his wife, Andrea Michelle Whittak er, of the same address, for
five years. : The orders were made on
the application of the Insolvency Service, an exec utive agency of the Depart ment of Trade and Indus try.
The couple were directors of,Franchise Fee Collection
Ltd, selling motor tuning franchises from' Oxford Steet, Accrington, between
December, 1993, and the autumn of 1997. At one time the company
used a name it should not have done, Computa Tune
Ltd. In Septemberl997 it was
placed into voluntary liqui dation, owing creditors an estimated £358,637. The county court found
that the couple caused or allowed the company to enter into transactions to. the detriment of itself and its creditors. They caused or allowed
regional licensees to be mis led about the company's ownership of the Computa Tune name and logo, or alternately they removed those assets beyond the reach of creditors of the liq uidation. The court also said that
the Whittakers misled the company's auditors.

the officer in charge of com munity safety, said: "While there has been a lot of rumour regarding disorder at this fixture, we are confi dent that every contingency has been covered and all the partner agencies are com mitted to making this a peaceful event. "We will be actively tar

geting these people to ensure that any anti-social behaviour will not be toler
ated." As well as putting the
spotlight on troublemakers, public safety is also at the forefront of the policing agenda. Officers will be on hand to ensure that people feel safe and reassured at all
times. Readathon

A LOCAL school has raised funds for children's charities by using a lot more books
than usual. Pupils at appropriately-
named Read Primary School took part in a spon sored read-in as part of the national Readathon in aid of sick children. The young sters had to read as many books or pages from books as possible during the three- week event, which included the half-term holiday, and were supported by families and friends in the fund-rais ing.
Although it is a primary
school, all the pupils were encouraged to participate and even the youngest were
involved.A grand total of £585.66 was raised and forwarded to the charities, Sargent Can cer Care and the Roald
Dahl Foundation. Headmistress Mrs Carole
Harrison thanked the pupils who took part and everyone who sponsored the event.
