M Council needs to do more to encourage recycling


RECENTLY, people in the RibbleValley have received, from the RVBC, a letter and several green bin bags for people to deposit their green waste in. This action is, in some ways, to be applauded for


trying to recycle our household waste. That is, of course, if you are someone who lives in a house that has a garden.


One hopes that this scheme is quickly followed up


with more bags, so that we can segregate our other waste - plastic bottles, glass, metal objects, cardboard and paper, with the remainder being disposed of sepa­ rately. This would make for a much better system, with


waste being collected on the doorstep and recycled. At the moment, we in our family do segregate our


waste into the bags mentioned above and therefore make a trip to the tip every two weeks. We are fortu­ nate to have transport to do this. Sadly, many are not so fortunate. So come on RVBC. I f you are truly interested in


saving our planet get your act together soon. Or do we have to watch the very expensive machines


that you have just purchased gobbling up all the waste and taking it away to landfill sites for years before you


CONCERNED CLITHEROE RESIDENT Concern over agricultural


vehicles using local roads THE CPRE has recently expressed concern over the increased volume of traffic using rural byroads. I agree that this has made such roads less safe for walkers and riders. However, I have observed recently a change in the


traffic on trunk roads and through the middle of Clitheroe, namely the vast increase in large agricul­ tural vehicles. These come in two varieties. The first travel slowly


along the A59, never pulling over to allow 20-30 vehi­ cles trapped behind them to overtake. The second and more worrying species are the particularly large vari­ ety that thunder through the middle of Clitheroe often at speeds which I consider to be unsafe. These same large vehicles are often seen parked on the double yel­ low lines outside a pie shop or bank.


I know that farmers often have split site farms


necessitating travel, but all I ask is that they obey the Highway Code and drive with due consideration to other road users.


R SIMMONDS, Pimlico Road, Clitheroe


Understandable concern


about our monuments IT was good to read about the experiences of Selma P. Johnson. I t is encouraging to see that visitors from “the colonies” now feel safe enough from foot and mouth disease to travel abroad and, indeed, to rural parts. The Clitheroe skyline must surely be reminiscent of


the skyscrapers of New Jersey and I am glad that Selma felt quite at home. The McDonalds.restaurant would have been most


comforting, I am sure, and Mrs Johnson will be grati­ fied to learn of the plans for a used car lot, a KFC and a Taco Bell at the intersection there. I can understand her concern at the dilapidated


state of some of our ancient monuments, particularly some of the abbeys. I feel that King Henry VI II ’s dis­ solute action towards them was most reprehensible, but I understand that there is soon to be a grant from Danegeld for their restoration. I am sure that just as soon as this grant finds its


way to Clitheroe, the Mayor will authorise replace­ ment of the missing bricks in the Castle wall.


DAVID BUSBY, Ashtree Cottage, Downham


BNP is not Nazi - it is just a pro-British party


IT never ceases to amaze me that whenever somebody is writing in against the BNP, the word Nazi shortly follows. I would like to remind people of shallow-mind­ ed nature that the BNP is a pro-British party and, correct me if I am wrong, but did not Britain fight against the Nazis? I am referring to people like Mr Malcom Blackburn,


who wrote a letter last week asking Mr McQuade who “his own” were. Mr Blackburn also wrote that he would like to “invite Mr McQuade and others of like


mind” to attend his church regularly, yet he stated in an earlier paragraph that some members of Ribble Valley Against Racism had no religion at all, so, per­ haps he should start preaching to “his own” first! My “own” people are often overlooked in their own


country. The ones who should feel proud to be British, but are treated like second-class citizens. The ones who say:“What on earth is happening to the once Great Britain?” and, unfortunately, the ones who when they voice their opinions or beliefs on putting British people first get called Nazis by the ludicrous left. I am refer­ ring to indigenous Britons who seem to have less and less right to democracy than any on else. According to Mr Blackburn, we should be looking


after everybody else of all colours and religions and be ashamed of putting British interests first. No wonder we are becoming the laughing stock of Europe. The Government and little groups like RVAR seem more intent on forgetting about the people who put ■ Britain on the map and all modem day patriots.


PAULFRANKLAND, Henthorn Road, Clitheroe


Law says children can be


removed from RE lessons IN response to Mark Clayton’s comments, Letters August 21st, alleging that the BNP is trying to cause disharmony and disunity with regard to religious edu­ cation, I would like to point out that the law of the land allows for parents to decide what their children can be taught. Under Section 25 of the Education Act 1944, par­


ents can have their children removed from lessons for all or part of the religious education syllabus. This law was passed so that members of a different


culture or faith would not feel alienated from their beliefs and backgrounds. Obviously Mark, you have no interest in the teach­


ing of history or politics and perhaps that is why you have jumped on the “blame the BNP” bandwagon. Shame on previous governments for promoting


disharmony and disunity! I would like to follow that up by asking: “Why has it taken so long for the Board


of Governors at St James’ School to provide disabled toilets and cleaning facilities?” Rather than gloating about it, it seems an apology is in orderl This year, I will once again (for the 11th consecutive


yearl) be attending the Remembrance Sunday service and it seems the great sacrifice made by the millions of brave men in pursuit of our free­ dom, security, identity and democracy have been in vain because we are being swallowed lip by a federal European super-state. Anybody opposing these “internationalist


Europhiles”, who are steering this vile jugger­ naut, is deemed as being a Nazi or a Fascist and great measures are undertaken to try and quickly silence them. Will we soon become the Western Bloc? So, Mr Hitman, next time you are passing

BNP is out to protect


the Christian faith THE cloistered world of the manager of Whalley Abbey, Mr John F. Wilson, in his recent letter headed “No room in the BNP


etc” (August 28th) would appear to have iso­ lated himself from reality. Throughout our towns and cities, while


Christian churches are closing, their congrega­ tions diminishing and their influence waning, mosques are increasing in number. The Moslem faith is the fastest growing


faith in Britain. ■ Church leaders bend over backwards to appease the multi-cultural cause, most recent­ ly with the recommendation of teaching a multi-faith agenda in schools. Only the BNP has made it abundantly


clear that all parents have a choice in this. Within the BNP there are practising


Catholics and Protestants working together in a common cause. I t is erroneous and offensive to all Christian


members of the BNP to suggest that their political affiliation may not be compatible with their religion. The reality is that, con­ trary to Mr Wilson’s belief, the BNP may well


be the most effective protector of the Christ­ ian faith.

Show respect for shop


staff on special day NEXT Wednesday is National Respect for Shopworkers Day. Usdaw, the premier retail union, is campaigning to protect shopworkers from violence and abuse at work. Violent attacks against retail staff have increased by 75% since 1999 and that verbal abuse is a daily occurrence in 36% of shops. We are seeking the support of the shopping


public to show respect to shopworkers, who are often under a lot of pressure, and not to take out their frustrations on the staff. On National Respect for Shopworkers Day,


Usdaw members will be campaigning in high streets and supermarkets asking people to support our campaign. We want shoppers to sign up to condemn violence and abuse against shopworkers. I hope that if readers see an Usdaw cam­


paigner they will talk to them about the issue and show their support. If readers would like to know more about what Usdaw is doing to improve safety in stores and protect staff and customers, please visit our website at www.usdaw.org.uk.
