Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, August 7th, 2003 3 Day of celebrations for the old White Rose county


THE old boundary of York­ shire was commemorated at a ceremony last week. Signs were erected a t loca­


tions on roads around the area, including the spot at Smithies Bridge where the old boundary between Lancashire and York­ shire crossed the A59, altered after Local Government reor­ ganisation in 1974.


Organisers had planned to


erect stone markers a t the points to celebrate Yorkshire Day; August 1st. Permission had been granted by Lan­ cashire County Council, but the A59 is still a trunk road and the responsibility of the government highways agency. Dedicated Yorkshireman


Mr Geoff Hoyle said: “Once the A59 has been de-trunked, we will be able to put up the stones.” “The plan is to erect stones


on the A59, on the A56 a t Foulridge and on the A682 at Blacko. We want the stones to s ta te th a t i t is always the boundary of Yorkshire.” . Our picture shows comettist

Cemfuel: challenge in High Court has failed


by Tim Procter


A LEGAL challenge by a member of the Horner family about the use of Cemfuel has failed. The case was listed at the High


Court in London on Thursday, but could not proceed as it had been


overtaken by events. This week Mrs Mary Horner had no


comment to make on the decision,


although it is understood she was pre­ sent at the hearing. Mr Justice Sullivan dismissed an


application for a judicial review of the February 2001 Environment Agency decision to allow Cemfuel to be burnt on Kiln 7 a t Castle Cement’s Clitheroe works. The applicant contended tha t the


agency should have applied a European directive on impact assessment proce­

dure before allowing Cemfuel in the kiln. But the judge heard that this authori­


sation had now been superseded by a permit under a different system. He ruled that this meant there was a


new decision and so what was claimed about the previous one was no longer rel­ evant.


The application for a judicial review


was therefore formally dismissed. After the hearing, the Environment Agency’s regional solicitor, Mr Steven


Zdolyny, said: “We are satisfied with this outcome. We have always maintained th a t the potential environmental impacts of burning Cemfuel on Kiln 7 were fully considered as part of our orig­ inal decision. In addition, we carried out two phases of public consultation at the time.” It is understood Mrs Horner is now


awaiting information on an EC com­ plaint about Britain’s way of dealing with impact assessments.


BNP leaflet going out to Clitheroe parents


A LEAFLET about multi­ faith school education is being circulated to North


East Lancashire parents by the BNP. The party says that some


of the leaflets are going out in Clitheroe.


They have a tear-off slip


which, if filled in and sent to a child’s school, mean that the staff will have to with­ draw the child named from religious education lessons other than those dealing with the Christian faith. The leaflet claims th a t


“only a tiny proportion” of religious education lessons now deal with the Christian faith. The school curriculum insists that the school must also teach about other faiths,


indicates the leaflet. “Many-1' parents are not aware tha t 'r they can withdraw their chip' dren from these lessons if they wish.”


A press release from the


BNP takes the argument fur­ ther. I t makes allegations about left-wing leadership of part of Britain’s public sector and suggests that multi-faith education is one method being used to “deliberately destroy the church.” The press release declares:


“We in the BNP intend.to do two things; first to inform the public as to what is happen­ ing and second try to stop it.”


Lancashire County Coun­


cil accepts tha t parents do have lesson-withdrawal


rights. But it urges them'to'- have serious thoughts if they? are considering using them. Education leader County


Coun. Alan Whittaker emphasises that the county’s agreed syllabus has been judged to be excellent by 0FSTED. All faith communities have


worked together for some years to create the syllabus, says County Coun. Whittak­ er. I t caters for families what­ ever their religious outlook and also for those with none. “The syllabus provides our


schools with the opportunity to help pupils develop the skills needed to analyse, debate and form their own opinions on the important issues that face us all.”
