Drink-driver crashed car


into lamp post


A RIBBLE VALLEY motorist and his passen­ gers escaped injury when their vehicle knocked down a tree and a lamp post before skidding along the road on its roof. Blackburn magistrates heard th a t Justin


Swingler (23) could not remember what had hap­ pened during the early morning incident on the road between Whalley and Barrow. Swingler, of Garstang Road, Chipping, plead­


ed guilty to driving with excess alcohol and with­ out due care and attention. He was fined £300 with £45 costs and disqual­


ified from driving for 18 months. Swingler, who gave an alcohol reading of 60

Homes given the go-ahead


PERMISSION has been granted for two houses to be built at Green Park, Whalley. The plan came before a meeting


of the planning committee of Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council, which approved the scheme subject to conditions relating to road and access surfacing, and fencing. The buildings, described as "rel­


atively small dormer bungalows” will have a detached double garage each, plus parking space. The plan is thus in accordance


with the general advice about maximising densities in such loca­ tions.


Argument led to husband brandishing knife at wife


A DOMESTIC argument over a triv­ ial matter escalated into a violent con­ frontation between a 38-year-old Whalley man and his wife. Blackburn magistrates heard that


with a condition that he attends the substance-related offending pro­ gramme. Sue Riley (prosecuting) said that


Graham Leslie Carter brandished a kitchen knife and his wife, Kerry, picked up a toy cricket bat to defend herself during the row which followed his return from the pub. And during the incident Mrs Carter


was dragged to the floor where she was kicked in the stomach and the back. Carter (37), of Woodfield View,


Whalley, pleaded guilty to assault. He was made subject to.a community rehabilitation order for 18 months,


Carter had taken the cricket bat off his wife before kicking and then punching her. He left the room but then returned


with the bat and used it to smash a light fitting before kicking her on the


leg. John Roberts, defending, said


Carter accepted the assault, but dis­ puted any reference to the knife. He said that the couple were now


reconciled and Carter accepted that if the marriage is to continue he needs to address his temper and his drinking.
