T H IR T Y inayors, may­ oresses and consorts from all over Lancashire enjoyed an extra special taste of the Ribble Valley. .Many of the guests on


the “mayors’ tour” were aware to some extent of the area’s visitor appeal - some others had little idea and were very pleasantly sur­ prised. The carefully-organised


tour . lasted almost a full day and had a public relations as well as “cour- tesy-to-other-boroughs” aspect. There were close insights


into the Ribble Valley, with plenty of information from the Mayor, Coun. Mrs Joyce Holgate, her consort, Mr Norman Atty, and offi­ cials. The tour began at Whal-


ley Abbey and included R ib ch e s te r Museum, Stonyhu rst College, Bashall Barn, Clitheroe Castle Museum and the Platform Gallery. There was ample opportunity to see the countryside as well. _-'Menibers;ofithe'party!

Newsletter praises success story


A SUCCESS story on its use of alternative fuels is claimed in Castle Cement’s community newsletter. Open Door. The continued use of Cemfuel


since 1992 is said to have effectively saved more than 313,255 tonnes of coal. .


• The controversial fuel, which is


derived from the residues of waste solvent recycling, is also said to have brought other environmental bene­ fits by reducing the oxides of nitro­ gen, a greenhouse gas. The Environment Agency is con­


sidering an application by Castle Cement to burn used tyres as an


alternative fuel, which is expected to further reduce harmful emissions. The use of chipped tyres would


satisfy a large chunk of the plant’s energy requirements, and would also help to overcome the national


' problem of safe disposal, says the newsletter article. . In the future, the plant hopes to


recycle agricultural waste as a fuel. Castle Cement predicts that this will bring further environmental benefits, such as reducing green­ house gases and preventing the waste being disposed of in landfill sites.

Landowners back tough new laws forcing public bodies to crack down on spread of ragwort


LANDOWNERS are back­ ing a bid for tougher laws aimed at forcing highways authorities and utility com­ panies to crack down on the spread of a poisonous weed which kills horses and farm

Business Association is urging MP s to step up their support for Joh n Greenway's Equine Welfare (R agw o r t Contro l) Bill after its successful second reading in the House of Com­ mons.


The legislation seeks to ‘give


more ef fec tive te e th to the ■Weeds Act 1959, which requires occupiers of, land to prevent the spread of ragwort and other injur ious weeds. A proposed amendment will introduce an obligation for highway authori-.


land that more effective action to eradicate ragwort is urgently needed. "This attractive but deadly


weed, with its distinctive yellow flower, continues to spread over iMd owned by highway authori- : tira and the utilities. The failure


ties and u t i l ity companies to of such bodies to .keep ragwort control ragwort on their land at bay negates the positive work and produce annual reports on measures taken. CLA's R egional Surveyor

corridors as motorway and road­ side verges, and invade fields and paddocks where animals graze. " I f eaten in a cut and dried


state in hay or forage, ragwort is very toxic for horses, cattle and sheep, which die slow lingering deaths from progressive and irre­ versible liver damage." Symptoms of ragwort poison­
