Stop parking on the pavement!
LETTERS are being delivered to homes in Langho, urging motorists not to park on the pavement. The letters have been issued by commu
nity beat manager PC Andy Lang after a number of complaints from people - par ticularly mothers with pushchairs and people with motability scooters - about the problem of cars and vans parked on pavements and causing obstruction. PC Lang is in the process of delivering
the letters in Langho and believes the move will make drivers aware of the prob lem of parking on pavements. He commented: “I have recently
received complaints from some members of our community about the parking of vehicles in the village, particularly when they encroach onto the pavements making it impossible for motability scooters and mums with prams to get past. “I realise that parking is a problem in
certain parts of the village and most peo ple do try to park considerately. “I would ask, however, th a t when
motorists park they leave enough room tor prams and motability scooters to pass.” If anyone wishes to speak to PC Lang
or Police Community Support Officer Gareth Walker regarding this matter, they are advised to call their voicemail on 01254 353016. •

Villagers dig deep to help c Chernobyl family
by Faiza Azzaal
A FAMILY affected by the worst ever nuclear accident is £440 better off, thanks to the generosity of Whalley residents. A bring-and-buy sale was hosted by Whalley
couple Tony and Joan Egan, to support the fami ly of Dima, a Chernobyl child who lost his father six weeks ago. The doors of the Egans’ home, in King Street,
were thrown open for the special fund-raiser, which saw crowds of villagers digging deep into their pockets and raising the money in the space of four hours. Other fund-raisers included a raffle and auction. Retired accountant Mr Egan (63) said he was
pleased with the amount raised. He added: “The £440 raised will help Dima’s family for the next nine months with paying the household bills. “We have been accommodating Dima since the
age of seven via the Friends of Chernobyl Chil dren. Since 2000, he has visited us every other year and his last visit was in 2002. “He lost his father six weeks ago. He is only 17
and cannot afford to support the family. “During his most recent stay, he has enjoyed
taking part in a lot of village activities including training with the Whalley under-17s football team. “He has really enjoyed his stay and I would like
to thank all the local residents for welcoming him and supporting the bring and buy sale.” Our picture shows Dima Yaschenko and Simon
Kerins with others at the successful fund-raiser. (D210805/4)

Mark takes top honours at show
WHALLEY sheep farmer Mark Ireland took top honours at the lowland breeding ewe and shearling show held at Gis- burn Auction Mart. A total of 1,700 sheep were forward, with powerful, well
bodied, Continental shearling ewes very much in demand. This year’s volatile lamb trade has clearly made farmers realise the importance of buy ing good quality sheep. Leading the sale at £125,
were the show champions, a pen of 10, three-quarter bred Texel shearling ewes from Mark Ireland. The pen sold to Mr Cathal
O'Loghlen, of Glossop, who also took home the second
prize winners at £90, again from R, H. and M. Ireland, of Whalley. Averages: Texel shearlings
£88, Mule shearlings £88, Texel ewes £52, Mule ewes £51.
