Dog owners are warned: clean up your act or face being fined


________ by Faiza Afzaal


DOG owners in Mellor Brook are being warned to clean-up after their pets or


face being fined. This warning has been issued by former


Ribble Valley mayor, Coun. Charles Wark- man (pictured) and Ribble Valley Borough Council’s dog and environmental health war­ den, Adele Scott, in a bid to crack down on the number of dog fouling incidents which have been occurring in parts of the village. Mellor resident and borough councillor,


Charles Warkman, hopes the warning will encourage dog owners to act responsibly. He said: “There are two main issues in Mel­ lor that residents are fed-up about and one of


them seems to be dog fouling. “I have had complaints from residents


about dog mess in streets and footpaths, par­ ticularly the Church Lane area of the village, where St Mary’s Primary School is situated.


“This has to stop. The council is doing a great job in trying to catch the culprits, but


...................... ______________


it is a very difficult task. “Dog mess spoils the environment and I


would like to stress that most dog owners are responsible, however there are a few that allow their pets to foul in public and this is unac-


coptsbls*** In response to Coun. Warkman’s concerns,


Adele Scott explained that she has patrolled the area to further reduce the problem and is continuing to warn dog owners. Over the next few weeks she says she will be keeping an eye on those people who continue


to ignore the law. She commented: “The council is deter­


mined to reduce the problem of dog fouling and patrols have been carried out. As a result, a lot of people have been warned to clean up


their dog’s mess. “The situation with regard to dog fouling in


Mellor comes and goes. Yes, there have been incidents in Church Lane and other areas, but


steps avo hoina tnlfpn to combat this prob-­ re be g take


lem.” Adele added that no fines had been pued


in the village as yet, but stressed that it w^ equally important for parents to educate their children about the situation with regards to dog fouling when taking their pets out for a


walk. She added: “I have been visiting schools


and educating children about the importance of carrying a plastic bag when going out with


their pet. “It is very important that they are aware of


the importance of clearing their pet’s mess.” • The Dog Fouling of Land Act 1996


requires dog owners to pick up their pet’s mess, with on-the-spot fines of £50 if they don’t. If they fail this they could face a court appearance and a fine of up to £1,000. If you want to report dog fouling contact

in a shoebox FOR the fourth year in succession, members of the Whalley Christian Action Group have co-ordinated a very successful effort in support of Operation Christmas Child. Through this interna­


tional project, gift-filled shoeboxes are sent to poor and needy children in cen­ tral and Eastern Europe. Members of the action group are pleased to report that over 300 boxes were collected by churches and schools in the area this


year. A spokesman for the


action group said: “In most cases, the shoebox is the only gift that these children will receive at Christmas and the Whal­ ley Christian Action Group would like to thank everyone for their sup­


port.” • The annual Operation


Christmas Child appeal allows generous people to fill shoeboxes with treats and send them to needy children in poor countries. Because of import regula­ tions, all items must be new or nearly new. Boxes should be marked as suit­ able for roughly a certain age and for boy or girl.

THE annual opportunity for those in the tourism trade to sit back, relax and let some­ one else take the strain was seized a n d th o ro u g h ly enjoyed by frontline staff. At the annual Ribble Valley


Tourism Association dinner, proprietors and employees in the hotel, guest houses, self catering accommodation and associated businesses were joined by a contingent from Clitheroe Chamber of Trade at Ferraris Hotel, Thomley-'with- Wheatley.


The event was attended by


Ribble Valley’s Mayor Coun. Mary Robinson and chief exec­ utive David Morris and the guest speaker was Clitheroe estate agent and charity fund­ raiser Bill Honeywell. Never one to stand still for


long, Mr Honesrwell described his early days in the property business, then his first charity cycle ride along the banks of the canal with local resident Frank Brown. He followed that with a Lands End to John O’Groats sponsored ride for breast cancer, accompanied by his wife, Val,


who drove the loaned camper van. This year he completed a solo ride from Rotterdam to Lemvig. He has appeared on TV in Britain’s Brainiest Estate Agent and enjoyed success in Who Wants to be a Millionaire. He told his audience how he


had recently returned from a trip to Norway where he saw the rare spectacle of 700 Orcas, or killer whales, lured by tons of herring, then followed by the majestic white tailed sea eagles at Tysf jord. Encouraging mem­ bers to seize every opportunity to promote their own business­


es, he revealed th a t his own favourite destination is a peace­ ful retreat off the Pem­ brokeshire coast. Association chairman Chris


Medley thanked Mary Parker for the exceptional hard work put into organising the event and encouraged everyone to attend the next meeting on Jan­ uary 18th at the Swan and Royal, Clitheroe, when Geoff Jackson is to give a talk on “Trinity.” Pictured are committee mem­


bers and top table guests. (A241105/10)
