THREE schoolchildren from Whalley Primary School have won a police competition to educate local people to keep their village tidy. Sarah Houldsworth won first prize, George Gibson


was second and Anna Shaw third. All three received HMV vouchers in assembly on Friday. Children from Year 2 were asked to design a poster


after Police Community Support Officer Jason Taylor visited the school to talk about personal responsibility in keeping the world a clean and tidy place. PCSO Taylor has forged strong links with the school


and is no stranger to the children. He was keen to help with Year 2’s Religious Studies lessons on "Creations" and wanted the children to focus on whose responsibility it was to keep the world tidy. He explained: "I thought it was an excellent opportu­

nity to get to know the children better and also improve the environment in and around the village by educating them in some quality of life issues. "I looked around the village, and while it is very clear of


graffiti and vandalism, there are some spots where litter is a problem. I wanted the children to take some responsibil­ ity for their actions and asked them to design the posters." The three winning designs will be made into posters


which can be displayed around the village to encourage villagers and visitors to "Bin itl” Pictured are teacher Nicola Holding and PCSO Taylor

‘Festive shoplifter’ will be behind


bars at Christmas


A MAN who went "Christmas shoplifting” in Clitheroe will spend the festive season behind bars after being jailed for 90 days. Blackburn magistrates heard that Paul


McCartney(39), who has more than 100 con­ victions, mainly for offences of theft, was recognised when he visited the Ribble Valley. When police arrested him, they found items


stolen from four different shops. McCartney, of Douglas Place, Blackburn,


pleaded guilty to theft of a Teddy bear from the Card Centre, Christmas cards from Party People and handling perfume stolen from Boots and a power drill stolen from Wool- worths. Mr Eddie Harrison (prosecuting) said that


McCartney was well known to police, who received information that he was in Clitheroe town centre. Mr Andrew Church-Taylor (defending)


said that drugs were at the root of McCart­ ney’s offending. He said that McCartney’s partner had asked to go to prison to help her beat her addiction and that had come just three weeks after the birth of their child. “If it was just Paul McCartney and his


partner I couldn’t really say anything, but we now have a small child in the equation,” said Mr Church-Taylor.
