Two are rescued after fall during Hallowe’en


VOLUNTEER rangers came to the rescue of two people who had fallen on Pendle Hill during the Hallowe’en celebrations on Mon­


day. The first incident


involved a man, who had been drinking and slipped twisting his ankle on the Barley side of Pendle’s main pass. A second inci­ dent happened further up the pass, when another visitor fell and hurt their leg. Rangers came to the aid of both parties and alerted Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue about the incidents. They were both taken to Burn­ ley General Hospital. Thousands of visitors


converged on the local landmark for Hallowe’en, which was being moni­ tored by volunteer rangers from Lancashire’s Coun­ tryside Service. In recent years, the pop­


ularity of visiting Pendle Hill on Hallowe’en has increased, especially since the area - famed for its association with the Pen­ dle Witches - featured on cult television show “Most Haunted”. Many of those who do


travel to the Ribble Valley on October 31st are often disappointed to discover there is not much to see or do - as a result some wan­ der on to Pendle ill equipped and with little understanding of the dan­ gers that exist. Countryside Ranger

GOING it alone in the world of work will be dis­ cussed at Barrow’s Print­ works as part of National Enterprise Week. Ribble Valley Enterprise


Agency is organising an afternoon packed full of hints, tips and advice for budding entrepreneurs. The Printworks will

vided traffic control and were on hand to deal with public order issues. The volunteer rangers, Ribble Valley Borough Council employees and the Sabden Parish lengthsman also cleared the area of litter on Tuesday morning. Said Mr Shoreman:

experiences of self employ­ ment. AUeen Evans, direc­ tor at Ribble Valley Enter­ prise Agency said: “There are lots of events through­ out the UK during Nation­ al Enterprise Week and the Ribble Valley is no excep­ tion.


“We have lots of very


successful entrepreneurs in the area and we want to spread this message to any­ one who has ever thought about self employment. “The afternoon network­

equipped for the hills.” He added: “Despite the increase in visitors there have been few serious inci­ dents and we hope this is at least partly due to the involvement of the rangers over recent years.” On a day to day basis


the ranger service is involved with managing parks, picnic sites and other countryside sites owned by Lancashire County Council. They are also involved in visitor management in certain areas of private land where access is permitted for public recreation - one such area being the moor­ land which surrounds Pen­ dle Hill. Eight full time rangers cover the county support­


ed at weekends by fully trained volunteers who carry out patrols on both council sites and the so- called “access” areas. On most privately owned “access” areas, agree­ ments drawn up between landowners and the coun­ ty council allow access, subject to conditions, and the rangers aim is to man­ age the visitors. On Pendle Hill, patrols


are mainly carried out at weekends, when the well- known local landmark is at its busiest. Rangers patrol different routes and are on hand to give advice and assistance to visitors. Directions and safety tips, as well as information about wildlife and local history are among the

details often given out. Rangers also play a key role in encouraging good behaviour in the country­ side. Incidents such as lit­ tering, illegal off-road parking, out of control dogs or damage to proper­ ty are recorded and reported when necessary. Mr Shoreman, who is


the Countryside Ranger responsible for Spring Wood in Whalley, added: “The majority of visitors to the countryside are responsible and respectful, and although incidents occur they are few and far between.” Some of the rangers are


pictured at Whalley’s Spring Wood picnic site. (D021005/1)


Driver lost his job after being over the legal limit


A BROCKHALL man lost his £30,000 job as a contracts manager as soon as his employers discovered he had failed a breathalyser test. Blackburn magistrates heard that 47-


year-old Francis Robert Emerson would also lose his home as a result of having “a couple of pints” while waiting for a bou­ quet of flowers to be made up for his wife's birthday. Emerson, of Highwoods Park, Brockhall Village, pleaded guilty to driv­ ing with excess alcohol. He was ordered to do 100 hours’ community punishment, disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to pay £60 costs. The court heard Emerson was driving


home from Whalley when his car collided with a fence. He told police he had swerved to avoid a rabbit. Mr Andrew Church- Taylor (defending) said the night before the incident Emerson had hosted a party


for his brother who had been working in Dubai. “The party went on until the early hours


and my client was drinking heavily,” said Mr Church-Taylor. He said the next day Emerson did not leave the house until the afternoon when he went to Whalley to order flowers for his wife's birthday the fol­ lowing day. While the bouquet was being made up he went and had a couple of pints of beer and clearly his alcohol level was topped up,” said Mr Church-Taylor. “He did not feel unfit to drive.” He said as a result of the incident Emer­


son had been immediately dismissed from his job, where he earned £30,000 a year plus bonuses. “He will have to sell his house and move his family back to Man­ chester and clearly he has already paid a high price for what was a serious miscalcu­ lation,” added Mr Church Taylor.


No go on plans at garden centre


A GREEN-FINGERED Ribble Valley based busi­ ness has had plans to extend its premises turned down. Shackletons of Chat-


bum had been seeking per­ mission to replace a seven bay poly tunnel with a permanent building, as well as altering its conser­ vatory and extending the car park into a growing-on area. In a report to Ribble


Valley Borough Council’s Planning and Develop­ ment Committee, Chat- bum Parish Council noted that the garden centre was already overdeveloped and stated that it understood that poly tunnels had a life span of at least 20 years and as a result were dis­ puting that the existing ones were now redundant. Four letters raising con­


cerns had also been sent to the council from nearby residents, stating that a planting scheme previous­ ly approved had not been entirely completed and that development on the site to date had shown lit­ tle or no consideration of the affects of surface water


running off the site and the resulting consequences for the local environment. The report went on to


state that the planning application sought the provision of a “more robust building which reflects more closely the buildings which have more recently been built on site”. It added that the stone work would blend with existing structures and, taking into account the materials used in near­ by industrial units, the planning officer noted that in visual terms there would “be no significant detriment to the street scene” if the scheme was approved. Although recommended


for approval by planning officers, councillors dis­ agreed and refused the application. They turned the plan down on the grounds that its design, size and siting would result in conditions to the “detri­ ment of the visual ameni­ ty of the area” and that the unsatisfactory services, arrangements would lead to conditions detrimental to highways safety.
