Warm thankyou from by-election runner-up
MAY
I.through your columns thank the resi-. dents of TiVaddii^tori. iMittpn and,Bashall Eaves for the very kuidiahd jvarm reception -. they* gave me as I campaigned during last,,; week's by-election. I t1
was.a-great pleasure to-
meet so many friendly people and■ to be wel-V' corned into their community. Actually; it' shows howisfrong are the ties ■.

During the last two weeks over half the On election day,I .was
continually.asked to- , .-■.•■
take this petition out into the wider commu- . nity. On their behalf and on behalf of
all.the . people in'the valley, Task that your excellent
newspaper.joins the'campaign and helps by.
that,link all the people, the hamlets, the vil lages and the towns of this wonderful part of ■ the country. The problems,that our Valley ■ faces in these days of accelerating change and ■ concentration on the urban way of life are shared by all.
' These issues and challenges will only be overcome by us all working together to pre- , serve our unique Ribble Valley way of life. •
.*: :,.: . A resident helped draw one of these issues
to my attention. Alarmingly, for many hours there is only one ambulance and crew based m our area. Yes, 30,000 people, 250sq.- miles, mile after mile of ’winding country road, but,only
one ambulance.
• Our ambulance crews and the rapid respon ders do a fantastic job. Each of us knows
.■ ■ ■ -.■.■■.■■'■ ■'■• - .■■■
examples ofj how, liyes have been saved and pain lessened by their speedy response and professionalism. But the fact is they work
with the further stress and knowledge that, if they are on one call, a crew travelling from a distance out of the area must answer a second- call;. And sometimes they find themselves diverted from one urgent call to an even more
urgent one. I was told that senior officials of the Lan
cashire Ambulance Service are putting a case for increased cover to the new Primary Care Trust based in Clayton-le-Moors and the new Strategic Health Authority based in a busi ness park in Preston. But surely that case will be even stronger when supported by the active campaigning of our community.

An evening-spoiled by
mindless nuisances WE as a family, ages ranging from five to 70
years, decided to go on the ghost walk around Clitheroe on a recent Friday evening. • While we were near the Castle keep, our
enjoyment was spoiled by a group of mindless youngsters, who decided to heckle and gener ally cause mayhem.
Could someone please explain why young
children are allowed in the Castle grounds after dark? They certainly had been drinking
and one wonders what else they were doing. Do their parents know where they are? Do
they care?- ■. The incident was reported to the police and
we suggested th a t they should patrol the grounds after dark to deter these hooligans. Our guide on the ghost tour, Mr Simon
Entwistle, was very apologetic for the inci dent. Despite this hiccup, everyone really enjoyed the walk, expertly conducted by Mr Entwistle. We would certainly recommend the experience to everyone. CONCERNED RESIDENT

WELL it’s not often.I feel compelled to put p'en to paper, :but this has been brought to my , attention by my three-year-old daughter.

dogs with her.-When they go out they always have a’good’supply.of’nappy sacks in which to clean up. She has even’taken to occasionally- checking that-Nana has nappy sacks in her pockets prior to their walks..' ■, • My daughter recently started a t nursery

amount of dog faeces that .we have to dodge, on our five-mmute walk. I have found that in one half term-1 have had to wash the wheels of my son's pram at least twice a week.
: - Do the people.who do not tidy up after their dogs not understand the dangers that they are putting our children at risk of, or do they just not care? This mmonty of dog own ers is giving all dog owners a bad name. , I wish to thank all the people who do tidy

■ Fluoridation is dangerous to human, plant, animal and aquatic life, as the majority of the

We.have been informed that it will cost millions of pounds to set up and build fluoridation plants and every year millions of pounds will be spent on the running costs: All th a t money could be used to fund other methods of reducing tooth decay. In some areas of the country teeth cleaning schemes have proved very successful. Just think how many toothbrushes and how
much toothpaste could be bought with the millions of pounds that it is proposed to spend on fluoridation. Please will you inform us how
much it will cost to set up and build the nec essary, water treatment plants to fluoridate
the North West and also the running costs? Artificial water fluoridation is medical
