Evans commented: “Since Labour came to power crime has soared. “The Prime Ministers promise to be


‘tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime’ has just not worked.” He explained: “This Bill is intended


to aid developers in the building of new houses and the creation of new communities to create an atmosphere.


within these areas that will help tackle crime and create safer places to liya “Th6 growth of ‘now urbanism has created communities where crime has

Big Apple experience


by Julie Magee


A CLITHEROE business woman has said running the New York marathon was the “most fantastic experience o f !


her life”. Jo Evans, who is the project manager at


both the Kibble Valley Enterprise Agency and Hyndbum Enterprise Trust, took part in the 26.2 mile race on November 6th. Backed by sponsors from the business


world as well as her family and friends, she managed to raise more than £2,000 for North West charity 21st Century Kids, which helps children who are suffering from the effects of abuse, neglect, poverty, depri­ vation, illness and disability. Jo, who has already signed up for the


Great North Run next October, comment­ ed: “It really was the most fantastic experi­ ence of my life. The whole day was fabulous from start to finish. Three of our group ran the whole way together and we were so pleased that we didn’t stop once. “We finished in five hours 10 minutes,


which was very respectable to say we were novice runners. I can well and truly say I am now hooked on running after months of pounding the streets for my training and am hoping to get into London for April 2006 so that I can improve on my time. “I am so glad that I have done it. My


friends and family are still hearing all about it after being home for a fortnight - 1 am grateful to everyone who has offered their support and helped me to raise over £2,000


for 21st Century Kids.” Picture shows successful marathon run­

dreds of people. This year’s event takes place on


December 8th. Shops and streets will be trans­


formed into scenes reminiscent of a Victorian picture book. There will be something for everyone, from jugglers and fire-eaters to a brass band, vari­ ous refreshments and even a Punch


and Judy show. The hard-working committee has


raised more than £23,000 since the first event in 1998, ensuring help for many local organisations. These pictures show the highlights of last year’s Pickwick Night.
