‘Rural economy has yet to feel full impact of foot and mouth’


Report submission says that disease mismanagement forced countryside to close down and resulted in a lack of confidence


\


TH E fu lf'impact of the disastrous early handling of la s t year's foot and mouth epidemic has yet to be realised fully in the rural economy, according to the Country Land and Business-Association. To coincide with the


anniversary of the outbreak, the CLA is publishing its submission to the Anderson Inquiry, Lessons to be Learned. The CLA submis­ sion highlights the wider impact of the disease mis­ management on the rural economy. Sir Edward Greenwell,


p re s id en t of th e C o u n try Land and Business Associa­ tion, said: “If anyone believes tha t the importance of learn­ ing lessons from FMD is sole­ ly aimed a t agriculture, then_

they would be mistaken. The consequences of failing prop­ erly to control animal diseases extends far beyond the farm gate and into the very heart of the British economy and


^continues to be fe l t for months after the disease has gone. " In i t ia l soundings taken


from the CLA Rural Economy Healthcheck, which will be published in the spring, reveal th a t many ru ra l business enterprises have closed down, many jobs have been lost and, in some cases, essential ser­ vices have been lost to rural communities. — "The connection is quite sim­


ple. The failure to gain early control of the FMD epidemic forced the countryside to close down with a complete loss of public confidence.-That^in turn, resulted in a severe down- tu rn jn rural business, from :


tourism to agriculture, and left the rural economy and people’s livelihoods in turmoil. "The need to ensure this


never happens again is para­ mount and i t s ta r ts with an open and transparent inquiry into what went wrong and an independent report detailing whether the 2001 epidemic could have been stamped out with a much smaller cull of healthy animals and a much smaller cost to the economy. "Our submission highlights


the desperate lack of import controls which allowed the dis­ ease into this country; the com­ plete lack of effective contin­ gency planning; the critical delays in decision making and deployment of the Army; the inadequacy of the science underpinning biosecurity mea­ sures; and the failure of Gov­


ernment either to realisejquick- ly enough the scale of the prob­


lem or the need to commit the proper resources to dealing with it.


"The rural economy will not


be protected from further long term damage until we have reli­ ably set in place an effective plan to defend ourselves from another epidemic. We all have a duty to acknowledge openly our faults and responsibilities so that lessons can be learned, contingency plans developed and research conducted. "The Lessons to be Learned


Inquiry is crucial. Unless we learn from the 2001 epidemic how to prevent disease entering Britain, and how to detect, con­ tain and eliminate it rapidly once here, efforts will be in vain. Its report must not sit gather­ ing dust like Northumberland after the 1967 outbreak. Until an effective disease control plan


is implemented, the country­ side remains at risk."


Restaurateur’s top award

standing culinary skills and his "hands-on" con-1 tribution to education through the Manchester School of Excellence. Mr Heathcote found­


ed the school in 1997 in partnership with South Trafford College. Some


150 students have devel­ oped th e ir skills for re s tau ran t cooking there. There has been immense growth in busi­ ness groups and individ­ uals signing up for week­ end classes. Mr Heathcote said: "I

Greenfingers The next meeting of,


A HOLLYWOOD scriptwriter has prai­ sed th e Clitheroe- based Ribble Valley Film Club for the films i t chooses to show members and for the club's efforts in promoting good


cinema. • ■ In an e-mail to the


club, Mr Charlie Peters- whose work over the last 20 years has included "Three Men and a Baby" - also attacked the way his own industry in Hol­ lywood had become prof­ it-orientated and com­ plained th a t fewer and fewer good films were being made. The Ribble Valley •


Hollywood connection has come about because the writer is a former Stoneyhurst pupil and someone recently sent him the film society's programme for the spring. His e-mail talks about


the American version of the a r t of film having been hijacked by "corpo­ rate profiteers". "What was once a healthy balance between

THERE could be a new look for facilities at Clitheroe's Tourist Infor­ mation Centre. Last year a number of


recommendations were put forward to improve the Market Place centre, which is run in partner­ ship with Lancashire County Council. Proposals include

businessman and artist has become a one-sided affair, driven solely by profit. "The a r t is t has


become a necessary annoyance. Each year, fewer and fewer films are made because someone felt the need for a story well told. More and more movies are made to cash in on a big opening weekend," he wrote. “I know some of the


movies you have chosen to see. And while no


movie can be liked by absolutely everyone, all I ask for is a movie th a t sets out to say some­ thing, and say i t with passion. These movies do th a t . Many were made at a time when the business side of the indus try allowed the artistic side much more freedom.1’ 7 '.'Enjoy them and hope


that the next generation of film makers will con­ tinue to speak with a passionate voice" was his


message to the Clitheroe society. The society shows


films selected by mem­ bers each Sunday night a t the Grand Cinema, Clitheroe. The 7 p.m. screenings


are open to members of the public.
