Mixed response to farm cleaning move


THE announcement of the re-start of secondary cleansing brought a mixed reaction from the Ribble


i.


Valley's farmers. Many farmers whose


cases are being handled by officers based in Leeds are still waiting for the cleaning and disinfection operation to go ahead several months after losing their stock. Meanwhile, farmers with


case officers working out of Preston seem to be having


better luck. One Horton-in-Craven


farmer who has waited 10 weeks for cleansing watched in amazement last week as the equipment, taken to his premises in readiness for cleaning before the order to halt it, was removed several days after the announce­ ment that operations were


to start again. "Farmers are going ballis-


tic around here," he fumed. "There are plenty of folk pushing pens and bits of paper about. I want to know when someone is going to come with a scrub­


bing brush." tt ' ~ A A n A fVibt

Thomas. More than 80,000 people


have to date been taken on under the scheme, in occupa­ tions ranging from leisure and tourism to engineering. Claire Johnson says that


it is worth asking around locally and through the careers service to find out which firms will recruit apprentices straight from school, allowing them time off for day release or evening


classes. Other students opt for a


gap year, during which time they can pick up some useful experience while they decide what they want to do in the


future. “A gap year is very impor­

Elkan. “You learn skills that you


don’t learn at school or at home, such as social skills, communication and problem


solving. “If you go abroad, it s use­


ful to pick up a language, particularly a European one. “But if you need to retake


exams to get you on to a course, there’s no point in travelling because that won’t get you a place on the course you want.”
