Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) Youth ban on former sex offender
A FORMER Clitheroe resident said by police to be a danger to chil dren has been banned from being alone with children under 16. Ex-convict Peter Frederick Hemon
(57), was made the subject of an inter im Sexual Offences Prevention Order by a district judge at Burnley Magis trates Court. Hemon, who has served time behind
bars for sex offences against children and moved to Burnley four months ago, is now banned from deliberately associ ating with or having any deliberate
contact with any child under 16, except in the presence of their parent or guardian. This precludes occasions with "gen
uine reasons," such as on public trans port or in shops. Hernon was also told not to take,
capture or possess any photo, pseudo photo or recorded image of any child under 16, except those which appear in newspapers, or a magazine of a title notified to two police officers within three days of the order. The interim order runs until Dec
31st. The judge ordered Hernon's address should not be published in the press. The court had earlier been told how
police alleged Hemon had been inviting children into his home and giving them drink. Hernon had set up home in a resi
dential area described as a "natural playground for children”. Hemon, who has lived in Nelson and
Clitheroe, is on the Sex Offenders Reg ister for life after being convicted of molesting children in 1988.
His conduct since moving to Burnley,
according to the solicitor for Lancashire Constabulary, was said to have fright ened and upset children, to have given them nightmares and to have prompt ed complaints from parents. Hernon claimed he was no threat to children. He insisted the allegations made
against him in Burnley were "hopeless ly flawed", that he was the victim of mistaken identity and that rubbish had been invented about him. Earlier Niamh Noone, for the police, had urged the court to make an interim
order. She said the local school holi days had just started and that a short interim order was needed to allow" a period of safety for the community," and to give them protection A court hearing in 1999 had been told
how Hemon had moved around hotels and pubs in Clitheroe and had been "hounded" because of his background. He had had difficulties with accom
modation since his release from prison. Printed pamphlets had been dis
tributed in Clitheroe branding him a sex offender.

PM is quizzed on post offices
by Faiza Afzaal
THE plight of a disabled Clitheroe couple whose nearest post office was closed earlier this month has been raised by local MP Mr Nigel Evans with Tony Blair at the Prime Minis
ter’s Questions. As previously reported in the Clitheroe
Advertiser and Times (July 15th edition), Mr Evans had joined forces with Mr and Mrs Alan and Edith Heyes, of AlmaPlace, in his fight against the closures of Hen- thorn Road Post Office and Salford Post Office. He described the decision to close the
offices as “another nail in the coffin of our rural way of life.” The couple contacted Mr Evans, claim
ing that elderly and disabled people like themselves suffered the most when post offices were shut. Previously, Mrs Heyes was able to trav
el to her local post office in Henthorn Road in her wheelchair, an outing which she enjoyed very much. However, it was shut due to Post Office Ltd restructuring its national network of more than 9,000 urban post offices.
Now Mrs Heyes has to rely on her dis
abled husband Alan (69) to accompany her to Clitheroe’s only remaining post office in King Street and she feels she has lost her independence. A fortnight ago, Mr Evans accompanied
the pensioners to the main post office branch. The trio travelled in a vehicle and had
great difficulty in finding a place to park outside the office and had even more trou ble when they attemped to get inside the building. On Thursday, Mr Evans quizzed Mr
Blair in the House of Commons on his pol icy of closing sub post-offices. Mr Evans said: “The Prime Minister, in
his response, claimed that this government did not have a policy of closing Post Offices, but the people of the Ribble Val ley can see this clearly is not the case by the numbers of Post Offices that have been shut. “The Government actively bribes people
to close their Post Office and has set up its own fund to do so. “Our rural way of life continues to be hit
by this government and once more we are faced with another challenge to our way of life.”

STRAWBERRIES and cream, a finger buffet and sparkling wine went down a treat at the garden party celebrations at the Henthorn Community Centre. Marquees were erected out
side the centre to host the event, which included a bric-a- brac stall, raffle, tombola and
Ron Marsden playing the organ. The weather stayed dry and the sun even came out for the occasion.
The local sheltered accom
modation tenants were cele brating the completion of works that have been ongoing
in their back gardens for many months.
Power company Transco
donated £300 to the communi ty fund as an apology for the disturbance caused by the work - money which helped to pay for an array of new patio furni
ture which was on display at the party. Organiser of the event, war den Susan Tatersall, said:
“Everyone has worked hard to organise the event. I t has been very enjoyable.” Pictured is Susan Tattersall
with the Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley Charles and Ruth Warkman, Mr Rob Baycroft of Transco, along with several local tenants. (CR010704/1)
