Make sure you can be seen


HELLO and welcome to this week’s edition of Whalley Beat.


• Be Safe Be Seen This Winter As the clocks have now gone back, the


nights have started to draw in much earlier, making children even more vulnerable on our roads. It was therefore very reassiuing to see many children leaving Whalley pri­ mary School this week sporting their new high-visibility vests. Children in Year 3 should also be wearing


their Bee Safe, Bee Seen Super Hero Bee reflective and fluorescent stickers, which we hope will encourage them to wear reflective material in the dark, and fluorescent mate­ rials during the day. Road traffic crashes are the leading cause


of accidental death and injury to children and speeding motorists are a high risk to children. During the trip to school, traffic is at its busiest and consequently poses the most risk to children. The accident rate for children peaks


between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., when the chil­ dren are leaving for school, and again at 3 p.m. when they leave. Speed is also a major contributory factor


in one out of every three road traffic crashes that occur on Lancashire’s Roads each year. We can help prevent some of these accidents by driving safely particularly during poor visibility and poor weather and by being safe and seen whilst walking through our streets.

As you move into this very busy period in your life let your artisdc and creative talents come to the fore and you might find they will turn Into an unexpected way of making money. If cash is a little thin on the ground try leaving your plastic a t home for a few days, for running up credit card bills is only going to make matters worse.An evening with friends towards ^ e end of the week needn’t break the bank, you don't have to spend a fortune to have fun.

Keep a low profile and stay indoors with someone you care for, time spent together will only strengthen the bond between you and it will allow you to see the opportunities for growth in your relationships. Double dteck your financial statements before you be^n investing in a project Remember sloppy, slapdash work will only have to be done again so save some time and personal embarrassment by getting it right the first time.

are treating as suspicious. A number of let­ ters have recently been received in this area via Air Mail, from a company named Wor­ thington Clark Pty Ltd, based in Sydney, Australia. The letters, which are addressed personally, include an approximate date of birth and go on to explain that they have knowledge of an asset, which appears to be lost, unclaimed or forgotten. The company states that you may be entitled to claim all or part of the asset, which has a current value of around 8,000 Australian dollars. However, before revealing the particulars


of the asset in question, they ask for agree­ ment that they are paid a quarter of the net amount successfully claimed. There is a telephone number and e-mail


address that can be contacted as well as a website that seems quite legitimate. At no point does the company request a payment up-front. However, a form does need to be signed and it is important that any action that is taken is done so with caution, or not at all. If you receive any letters such as this over the next few weeks, please let me know. You can e-mail me at: jason.taylor@lan-

m.p.h. and Coun. Holtom fears pedestrians could be injured by fast travelling motorists if the speed limit is not reduced. He is now calling for reduced


speed limits and more warning signs to warn motorists to slow down and to prevent someone being injured. “Cars are travelling far too fast


through a small village like. Lang­ ho,’’ said Coun. Holtom. “About 18 months ago, county


council officials carried out a traffic measurement operation and the findings were shocking. In some


cases, certain cars were found to be regularly travelling at 70 m.p.h. and various other high speeds in a 60 m.p.h zone. “Part of the road has no pave­


ment and there is a danger of pedes­ trians being hit. Therefore, the speed limit should he dropped to at most 40 m.p.h.’’ Coun. Holtom’s plea has won the


backing of members of Billington and Langho Parish Council, who for years have been campaigning for traffic calming measures in the vil­ lage. Billington, Old Langho and


Brockhall Village councillor Carl Eric Ross, said: “Speeding traffic on Old Langho Road is an on-going problem. “For years, concerned residents


have complained to Lancashire County Council to reduce the speed limit, but to no avail. “There are no signs to show what the speed limit is. The situation has


■


got worse over the years since the introduction of Brockhall Village. Some people with high-powered cars have been spotted speeding at 80 m.p.h. I t is frightening. “More people th an ever have


been complaining about the volume of cars and speed of traffic in the area. “Without a doubt, the speed


limit needs to he reduced, however once reduced, it should be enforced with may be the installation of a speed camera.” In response to th e concerns


expressed, a county council spokesman said: “We have looked a t the number of pedestrian and type of vehicle movements in the area. In light of this, there will be a joint meeting on Thursday, Novem­ ber 24th, between Lancashire Coimty Council, Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council and the police, where a 40 m.p.h. speed limit will be rec­ ommended.”

Festival of light celebrated at abbey


THE grounds of the newly-refurbished Whalley Abbey are to be lit tomorrow by the lanterns of parents and children dur­ ing a Martinmas festival of light. After a successful parade last year, the


Acorn Steiner Kindergarten is inviting families vrith children aged up to eight to come to the Abbey at 4-30 p.m. There they will make a procession of light and song, taking their lanterns around the


Abbey grounds. The festival of Martin­ mas is a festival of light, based on the legend of St Martin who, when the days were getting darker, once tore his cloak to give half of it to a beggar. His ability to bring light in people’s


darkness is still celebrated today. Anyone interested in attending should
