Extra cost of waste transport raises concerns for council


by Natalie Cox


THE potential cost of trans­ porting Ribble Valley waste to a landfill site in Accrington is causing concern to the council. The borough has been advised


by Lancashire Comity Council that from May this year it will be expected to take i ts waste to Whinney Hill in Accrington instead of using the local landfill site at Henthorn. Members of Ribble Valley’s Com­


munity Committee were told that following this order would cost more than £200,000 in additional resources. A copy of the financial


Naturalists go


on African safari NATURALISTS from Clitheroe were trans­ ported from the town’s library to Africa at their latest meeting. Dr Steuart and Mrs Anita Kellington


showed films and slides of a two-week safari adventure in Kenya and Tanzania during which they had hoped to encounter the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros. From Kenya’s capital Nairobi, their first


stop was the National Park at Nakaru where tents were pitched and the cooking started with baboons waiting in the trees to steal the food. On the salt waters of Lake Nakaru dawn


implication's for the borough have been sent to the county council, and a request made about either compen­ sation or the consideration of. other options which would reduce the cost and inconvenience to the Ribble Val-


■ ley.-. The council’s Director of Com­


mercial Services, Mr John Heap, said he believed other solutions would be found that would not place such a financial burden on the Rib­ ble Valley. • However, he added tha t if the council got “no joy” over the next couple of weeks he would be seeking support to take the matter higher. • Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe) said tha t despite an apparent


emphasis on partnership when it came to waste management matters, it appeared that in the Valley’s case it was a partnership which would result in the cost of collection rising by £200,000 a year.


_ He suggested that the council reaf-.


firm its delight about the continuing partnership with the county, but say that.it was looking to the authority, to further both countywide and'Rib-' ble Valley interests.; In response to his concerns, mem­


bers agreed.to reaffirm their pleasure at the continuing partnership, adding that as one of nine catchment areas it looked forward to the provision of suitable waste bulk facilities being established in the Ribble Valley.


Opportunities not to be missed in business world


BUSINESSES in the Ribble Valley are being alerted to busi­ ness opportunities going beg­ ging right under their noses. East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce is planning an event next month at which local busi­ ness people can meet fellow entrepreneurs from other parts of the North West. It is a follow-up from the suc­


brought pictures of thousands of pink flamin­ goes - unforgettable when seen reflected in the water. Charmed by the giraffe and zebra, the party saw a white rhino, recently intro­ duced to the park and on the verge of extinc­ tion. Another boat trip at dawn brought sight­


ings of the white-throated cormorant and the Jesus bird. The elegance of the Masai tribe gave the


impression of a people at home in the land­ scape. Some used ochre dyes to colour their hair and the red cloaks made the European safari costume seem out of place. Their huts, made of timber and cow dung, were built by the women. The audience also learnt that there is an 80% literacy rate in Kenya. In the Masaimara park buffalo were fear­


some. A cheetah with five young, wildebeest, lion and a black rhino were part of the great numbers of wildlife existing here. Retracing its steps, the party crossed into


cess of an "East Meets the West" function last year which put the east and west of the county in


contact. The latest event - at Ewood Park on February 13th - will be

called "East Meets the Rest" and will involve 350 like-minded business people who will be able to mingle, meet new faces and, hopefully, set up new deals. Christine Lambe, training and


events manager for the East Lancashire Chamber of Com­ merce, said: "After receiving so much positive feedback from our initial event, we thought we would broaden our horizons and give East Lancashire businesses the opportunity to make useful contacts and do business with people they wouldn't normally get to meet."


Green light for change of use The planning application


was dealt with by officials of Ribble Valley Borough Council, acting under their delegated powers.
