Wind chill factor was prevalent


DECEMBER began with mild wet weather, but towards the end of the first week colder, cloudy weather set in. Easterly and northerly winds reduced daytime temperatures. . The wind chill factor was


prevalent until the 20th, with frosty nights on the 17th to the 20th. Milder weather returned from the south-west to stay until the end of the month, with rain on most days - the 29th being the wettest.

\ pay for fish ^ rod licences


Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, January 9th, 2003 15


New wayto Ramblers enjoyed wintry conditions during their first walk of the new year


ANGLERS across the Ribble Valley are being encouraged to bank on a new way of paying for their rod licences. The, Environment


Agency is in the process of sending out more than 600,000 letters, urging fishing fans across the country to purchase this year’s licence by direct debit. Anglers will have until


February 4th to return completed mandate forms. Last year a pilot project


in the Anglian and Mid­ lands region had an 11% take up rate. As a follow up, the


Environment Agency has decided to target the


'662,000 holders of full annual and concessionary licences across England and Wales. Anyone signing up for


the scheme will have a licence sent automatically in time for the new sea- son. In the long term, sav­


Total rainfall 103.8 mm = 4.153 inches Total rainfall for 2002 - 53.592 inches


ings generated will enable more cash to be spent on improvements for fisheries and anglers. Anyone wanting to


inquire about the scheme can call a dedicated helpline on 01925 542400

Two major plants continue to help environment


TWO sometimes controversial industrial plants are continuing to invest in environ­ mental improvements. There have been no odour problems at


Tarmac, Clitheroe, for over a year - although a routine liaison committee meeting with councillors and officials heard the company does not really know how the improvement


has been achieved. Now Tarmac has been authorised to deep­


en its quarry, more work on potential dust and noise problems will be needed. The meet­ ing heard the deepest point in the quarry will


be reached in 2018 and the last limestone to be taken out will be under the plant. The quarrying will be done in stages, says the company, so problems can be identified


and rectified. A short distance away, at Castle Cement,


it is expected a trial burning of chipped man­ ufacturers’ reject tyres will run from March to September. A liaison meeting was told the Environment Agency is not aware of any problems with cement kilns in other places which burn tyres. Complaints about Castle Cement have


reduced and the meeting was told it was believed this was due to the firm’s proactive approach and positive impact. The meeting heard that a local resident


had recently installed a monitor to measure dust levels at his property. But the credibility of data obtained was seriously influenced by the unsatisfactory location and operating


conditions of the monitor. The equipment maker had agreed with the


points raised by council officials who exam­ ined the monitor. A letter of advice had been sent to the resident.

THANK YOU to all our customers for making 2002 our best year ever!


Retired members toast in 2003 in


FOR the first walk of the New Year, Clitheroe Ramblers enjoyed wintry conditions on a cold, sunny day with snow and ice underfoot and splendid views of Ingleborough, Pen-y- ghent and the hills above Mal-


ham and Settle. Eleven members caught th e '


train at Long Preston for a five - minute rail journey to Settle and then spent the next five and a quarter hours walking back along a nine-mile route, seven miles of which were along the Ribble Way. This walk was the first in a series


of three on the 2003 programme, which will be covering that part of the Ribble Way between Ribble- head and Long Preston. Starting from Settle Railway Sta­


tion, Ben Brown led the party through alleyways to the north of the town and on past the frozen millpond at Langcliffe Place to the weir, where the Ribble was crossed and the Ribble Way joined for the journey south. At Stackhouse, the party paused


to listen to the "yaffling" call of a green woodpecker and then followed the river back through Settle and under the A65 (T) road. Having for­ feited the customary morning coffee


stop, an early lunch was taken by the riverside near Long Stream Bam where a weasel running along the top of the banking was watched for several minutes. Soon afterwards, the river was


left behind and the snow covered fields were crossed on the climb up to the school at Rathmell. Then, on past Far Cappleside


and Wigglesworth Hall Farm'to reach the very attractive Wig­ glesworth Beck.


Tea was taken at this point and a :


shooting par ty in camouflaged clothing with gun dogs was watched as they combed the marshland between the beck and the river.


Shots were heard as the mallard flew out to safer pastures.The beck was followed to its junction with the Ribble and the river was then fol­ lowed to Cow Bridge, from where a short road walk led back to Long Preston station. The next walks are: January


15th, meet 1 p.m. Chester Avenue car park for a five-mile walk in the Downham area. January 18 th, meet 9-30 a.m. Chester Avenue car park for a 10-mile walk in the Wadding- ton Fell, Harrop area. For more information on the


walks, contact Mr Ben Brown, 01254 822851.


Big boost given by


customers to appeal


CUSTOMERS of the Clitheroe branch of a building society raised more than £300 for the Children in Need Appeal. The money was raised


by a guess-the-name-of- the doll competition for a doll clad in clothes kn itted by one of the customers of the Skipton Building Society. In our picture is the


winner, Mrs Linda Jack- son, of Ribchester, with her prize. Also pictured are and


three members of the branch staff, from the


left, Julie Hartley, Isabel Davies and Karen Ingham, (s)
