Parish councillors think police are doing their best with staff numbers


by Tim Procter


MEMBERSfof kWhalley Parish Council feel that local police officers are doing their


best for the village. They have.expressedreserva-


tions in recent months. >, . But a meeting of the council


heard that when some members met with the officer in charge,


Insp. Bob F’ord; they found.that, he shared their frustrations about various problems. "Given the resources that the


police have, there are things that. they can do nothing about,", said Coun. Norman Atty. "I believe that they are doing:


their best." : Vice-chairman Coun. Mrs June


Brown said there were some points about policing explained: •by the inspector that councillors.


had not realised; Some of the. problems were not in local control and could not be solved locally,


but were at government level. "I really .felt that Insp. Ford did,


take on board everything we were


•saying. “ It was a very worthwhile, con­ structive and amicable meeting,"


said Coun. Mrs Brown. She said that everyone felt that


the CCTV cameras would help the situation. But the system


would not intrude into people's lives. "They should not worry about cameras lookin g into bed­ rooms," said Coun. Mrs Brown. . The inspector had explained


that his team covered a wide area, members were sometimes direct­ ed elsewhere by higher authority and that they had tasks not always obvious to the public. Several features of the area also required above-average attention, such as Calderstones Hospital.'


Sporting Donna is now back at work after success in top horse riding regional contest


CLITHEROE supermar­ ket checkout girl Donna Knowles (19) is horse-mad and was back at work: this week after success in a top regional competition. - She qualified from stiff


competition for Ponies UK at the Ribble Valley Rid­ ing Club. In the regional finals at Rochdale, Donna not only


was judged best of the 30 horses and ridersln-her class; but-was-reserve champion o f ' the whole


show. Judges were impressed by the partnership


between Donna and her eight-year-old bay mare Secret Melody. She has worked at Tesco


in Clitheroe since leaving Craven College, where she gained her BTech in equine and business studies; hop­ ing, eventually, to carve out a career with horses. The daughter, of Mr


Alan and Mrs Jean Knowles, she hasibeen brought up with horses. The family once ran a liv­ ery stables at Edisford Bridge Farm. • Her mother said: "She


has been riding since before she could walk. She was only 18 months old when she first sat on a horse." (s)

Tip has been officially designated a special site for hazardous waste under new ruling


A TIP on the outskirts of Glitheroe has now been officially designated a specialist site for "hazardous waste". Under a new government directive,


the tip, a landfill site at the back of Pimlico Village's Black Horse pub, which was formerly a limestone quar­ ry, has had to be reclassified. Castle Cement, which uses the site


to dump kiln dust from its adjacent works, had to re-apply for its operat­ ing licence in July, after the Environ­ ment Agency took its first steps in instituting a new European law. This law, which becomes enforce­


able in July, 2004, aims to end "co- :disposal" by prohibiting landfiUsites

to mix non-hazardous waste such as household rubbish with hazardous waste. Hazardous waste can include clinical and medical waste and toxic materials, as well as discarded batter­ ies and fridges. .


' . According to an Environment


Agency spokesman, the new law is' designed to ciarify exactly what is


being buried and w herein the case'' of Castle Cement'and its Cdplow


Quarry tip, wording which licensed" the company to dump its kiln dust as "special waste" has been revised to now read "hazardous waste". This makes the Clitheroe site one


o f only 200 tips in the country licensed to take hazardous rubbish. Said a spokesman from the Environ­ ment Agency: "The change is;in leg­ islation and not in what is actually being tipped at Coplow Quarry. The material being tipped there remains exactly the same."


. I j Controls at the site are adminis­ tered by Lancashire County Coun- ■ oil's Environment Directive. A spokesman there explained: "The kiln chimneys are fitted with electrostatic precipitators, which capture dust. It' is then pelletised prior to tipping. Castle Cement has had permission to tip pelletised kiln dust at Coplow Quarry since 1992."


- He added:" Cement industry waste


can' have a relatively high’ alkaline content, making'it a potential irri-


tarit.Tf the irritant level is above 10 % ,' the material is now regarded as hazardous waste." • CASTLE Cement's parent com­


pany is involved in a ^rice-fixing investigation by the European Com­


mission. German company Heidelberg


Cement is facing a^ine.of 250m. euros if the German Federal Cartel Office finds that it was.involved in illegally fixing cement prices and anti-competitive agreements. / The threat of fines follows raids


■ involving more than 200 police-offi­ cers on 30 German cement compa­ nies. Said a spokesman for Heidel­ berg Cement: "Officers from the Ger­ man Federal Cartel .Office searched


. the offices of Heidelberg Cement and our Liemen cement plant as part of a nationwide investigation into 30 cement companies. We are ready to co-operate."
