fines for anti-social order offenders


by Duncan Smith


CRIME prevention bosses in the Ribble Valley have written to the Home Office and Blackburn mag­ istrates, expressing concern over the “inadequate penalties” being handed out for breach of anti-, social behaviour orders. The Ribble Valley Crime and Disor­


der Prevention Partnership, spear­ headed by. Ribble Valley Borough Council, has asked Blackburn magis­ trates to take ASBOs more seriously.


Ribble Valley Borough Council policy


development officer Mr Bill Alker said: “We have noticed that people breaching anti-social behaviour orders are getting small fines. “A lot of work goes into issuing the


orders, so we need them to be taken seri­ ously. We feel inadequate penalties are being handed out for ASBO breaches and have written to the Home Office and the Blackburn Magistrates’ Bench, expressing concern over the matter.” The Government is expected to pub­


lish new guidelines on penalties for breaches of anti-social behaviour orders in the New Year.


There are two active anti-social


behaviour orders in the Ribble Valley, one of which was issued against an 11- year-old Clitheroe boy in 2001. ' At the time, he was the youngest per­


son in the country to receive an order, which banned him from certain areas of the town for two years, but he only received a £20 fine for breaching it. The Ribble Valley Crime and Disor­


der Reduction Partnership, established in 1998, is spearheaded by Ribble Valley Borough Council. Its members include the police, probation service, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, schools and health professionals.


Taxi row led to wedding guest assault


A MAN was pimehed and kicked by a fellow wed­ ding guest during a dispute over taxis collecting people from the Mitton Fold Hotel, Langho. Blackburn magistrates heard that the incident


had especially upset the bridegroom, who made his feelings known before leaving on his honey­ moon. Basharat Ditta (defending Ian Hindle) told the


court that his client had received a “rude awaken­ ing” at 9 a.m. on the morning after the reception. “The bridegroom came to his house and my

client was manhandled and sworn at because.this man felt his behaviour had marred his wedding day. My client eventually went with the groom to apologise to the bride before the couple left for their honeymoon,” said Mr Ditta. Hindle (28), of Church Walk, Blackburn, plead­


ed guilty to assaulting Ivan Starkie. He was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £100 compensation and £150 costs. Neil White (prosecuting), said that Mr Starkie


was in the queue for a taxi with various members of his family. Hindle was with a number of his friends and there was a dispute when a taxi

Winter driving warning to motorists


DID you know it can take 10 times longer to stop your vehicle in icy conditions?


With this in mind, Lancashire County


Council's Road Safety Group is warning dri­ vers to think before setting out on the roads this winter. .


r . ,


•- As bad weather can strike suddenly and severely, the group is advising that if you must


drive then to make sure you are prepared for any hazardous conditions. Christine Gibson, senior road safety adviser, .


explained: "The British weather is unpre­ dictable. Motorists should plan their journey and check local travel information and weath­ er forecasts before they set off. I t is important to adjust your driving to the conditions. Hail,


heavy snow and rain reduce visibility, so dri­ vers should reduce their speeds and use dipped headlights.-

arrived. “That dispute descended into a violent incident,” said Mr White. V' “Mr Starkie was punched and recalls being on


his hands and knees looking for his glasses when he was kicked in the stomach.” Mr Ditta said that the incident had occurred in


February and the delay in finalising the matter arose because his client had been charged with causing actual bodily harm. “He always accepted his guilt on the basis of the


case now put forward by the prosecution,” said Mr Ditta. “There are two sides to every story, but my


client accepts that his actions did not constitute reasonable self defence.” Mr Ditta said that there had been no trouble at


the wedding itself, but tempers became frayed out­ side, with some people having booked taxis and others jumping in them as they arrived. "Initially, the argument did not involve my


client. It was one of his friends who was arguing with Mr Starkie and my client was acting as peacemaker, trying to calm the situation,” said Mr Ditta.”
