Armed robber loses 2 appeal over sentence
www.clitheroetoday.co.uk
A YOUNG gang member who carried out an armed robbery at the Ciitheroe postal depot has failed in his bid to have his sen
tence reduced. Michael Philips, of Kingsbridge
Road, in Manchester, was sentenced to 11-and-a-half years by Preston Crown Court, in November 2003, after being found guilty of robbery and two counts of having a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence. The 21-year-old, along with two
other members, had robbed a postal driver of mail bags containing valu ables at the depot on Chester Avenue. London’s Criminal Appeal Court
refused to cut Philips’ term, rejecting claims it was excessive for a man who was aged 20 at the time of the offence and who had no previous convictions for a serious crime. During the robbery, which
occurred in February 2003, postman and driver Mr Andrew Walsh was confronted with a man armed with a double-barrelled shotgun, while a
second had a pistol. Mr Walsh was threatened, while Q
the men demanded bags with blue . tngs, which indicated they contained ‘ 1 goods of high value. Another postal ^ i worker was also threatened.
'' At his trial. Philips claimed he was
not the man, identified by police as ® him, depicted on CCTV footage. Mr Justice Mitting said the Crown
had not sought to say what role Philips played in the robbery, con tending it had been a “joint enter prise’’ and noted he was not sen tenced as being the principal partici pant.

TWO apprentice butchers will be learning the age old tradition of how to make the Lancastrian spe ciality black pudding a t George Alpe Butchers next week. Darren Lord (17) and Daniel
Sieczkowski (16), both from Ciitheroe, are working towards a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ), and the art of making black puddings is part of their training. NVQ instructor Terry Bolton, a
butcher who used to have a shop in Langho, will be revealing to the lads his very own award-winning secret recipe, which dates back to the 1930s. The apprentices will be making
the black puddings at the Shaw- bridge Street shop on Monday with all the profits going towards the Tsunami Earthquake Appeal. A breakfast hamper worth £25 will also be raffled to raise money
for the appeal. All the events tie in with Farmhouse Breakfast Week - a national event - and recipe booklets as well as stickers will be on offer from the shop. Picture shows George Alpe Butchers’ apprentices Darren Lord and Daniel Sieczkows ki, who will be learning how to make black puddings on Monday ^ for the Farmhouse Breakfast Week. _ (A170105/3)
C Injured rider is taken to hospital by air
The association has been approached by residents of the German town of Guglingen about twin ning with them and a small pa r ty has been invited to stay there in the spring.
Anyone interested in the twinning is asked to ring Coun. Eric Ronnan on 01254 822555.
A warm welcome is extended to new mem bers at the weekly social evenings at
Methodist Church Hall
Last year several families made personal visits to Vihiers, in France, with which Whallcy was twinned for some years.
A RIDER who fell from her horse at Whitewell was whisked to hospital in Preston in five minutes by the North West Air Ambulance. The 58-year-old woman suffered
suspected back injuries in the acci dent and it was crucial to get her to hospital swiftly and smoothly. The air ambulance was called out at 11- 35 a.m. on Saturday and was quickly at the scene. Once the patient was secured on a stretcher and carefully lifted aboard, the air ambulance transported her to the Royal Pre ston Hospital in just five minutes. Jackie Northover, charity assis
tant chief executive of North West Air Ambulance, commented: “When
possible back injuries are involved, it is important that the patient's move ment is restricted and he or she is monitored en route to hospital. The North West Air Ambulance is able to transport patients quickly and, more importantly, smoothly to hos pital, with two paramedics on board to monitor the patient’s symptoms.” Jackie continued: “Horse riding
accidents often occur in remote loca tions, where access by road is restricted. In this particular case we were able to land in a field directly ne.xt to the incident and transport the patient to hospital much quick er than a land ambulance, which would have had to travel along small
country roads, restricting its speed.” Covering Lancashire, Greater
Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and South Cumbria, the air ambu lance costs £75,000 every month to
maintain.lt receives no mainstream funding to cover its region of 5,500 square miles and a residential popu lation of seven million people. On average the NWAA is called
out four times a day, rising to 10 in the summer. Expert pilots and paramedics work 365 days a year to watch over the people of the North West. To donate to the NWAA, call the
free donation hotline on 0800 5874570.
