Police renew warnings to
motorists A POLICE officer has
renewed his warning to motorists in Wilpshire and Clayton-le-Dale to stop leaving valuables in
vehicles. The stark warning has
been issued by Communi ty Beat Manager PC
Andy Lang after a spate of thefts from vehicles. A camera and an iPod
are just some of the valu ables stolen in the two vil lages in recent weeks. PC Lang said: “It is
important that car owners stop leaving their propei|- ty on show and keep their cars secure at all times. “In the past few weeks,
thieves have been able to steal expensive items by simply breaking into the cars or taking advantage of insecure vehicles. “If anyone has informa
tion about the thefts, or is aware of the whereabouts of the goods stolen, they should call Clitheroe police on 01200 443344.
Young cyclists aim for safety first
YOUNG cyclists at Whalley Primary School have been learning about road safety. Thanks to safety expert
Mr Keith Fothergill, Year 4 pupils got on their bikes and learned how to react when
out and about. Headteacher Mr Brian
Beresford said the one-day course was very successful.

to Thursday’s issue. This is onG of the reasons that 1 , t
tend to introduce my article with tales of the weekend, before moving on to the week’s local issuesl But as it was my weekend off work last week, what a cracking and eventful
one it turned out to be! My girlfriend and I popped over
to Blackpool on Friday evening to take in the musical, “Boogie Nights 2”. Ha’ving checked in at the hotel and enjoyed a lovely Italian scoff, we wandered over to the Winter Gardens to watch a simply cracking
show. The show is now neanng its sea
son’s end and has been the most suc cessful Blackpool show ever so it comes highly recommended by thousands of others as well as me! The Winter Gardens was then
followed by more than a few merry drinks in a superb soul bar followed by a boogie and a walk down the
prom! As the song goes... “Oh I do like to be tiddly-om-pom-pom!” The rest of the weekend didn’t
run quite as smoothly! An unlucky defeat for Burnley, as well as a thrashing for the team I play for was followed by a defeat on Sunday for Whalley Juniors. Sandwiched between all that was
an unfortunate incident leading to a broken little toe for my left foot! You win
some...you lose some eh! On with this week’s news...

to a performance of “Car Story” - a theatre produc tion, which promotes the message of safe travelling

by London theatre group “Box Clever”, was an interactive way of encour aging children to think about how they travel to school. To get the most out of the 40-minute drama, teachers followed up some of the issues raised in class with the children.

dents would probably agree that they are happy for young people to frequent the area, as long as the lan guage is tolerable, the volume is low, the area is left tidy and that it is vacated by 8-30 p.m. I t is apparent tha t most of the youths using the area are local and therefore, it is the responsibility of the parents as well as themselves that the above rules are adhered to, in order to keep friends and neighbours onside. On my part, this week I have
issued a mail-drop to most of the homes in the area outlining the new guidelines, how to approach the young people when they are being unruly and who to contact if assis tance from the police is required. I have also put some posters up around the area as a temporary measure until more suitable and permanent signage can be sourced. When the police and local comrau- nities work together in partnership, simple local problems such as this can be very easily solved. However, all the higher levels of success are only achieved when everybody gets involved and I hope that together, we can resolve this issue in a rela tively short time-scale.
• Sunnyside Avenue Speaking of local problems, an
ongoing question th a t has been posed over the past couple of months is the situation regarding the access route from Sunnyside Avenue. A number of months ago, this popular route for dog-walkers and people travelling from Billing- ton through to Whalley (and vice versa!) was blocked off. Since then, a rather dirty route round the top of
genuine mistake and that the for- mer swing-gate will be replaced by a stile-gate within the next couple ■ of months. Happy Days.

Valley farmers toast white stuff
VALLEY farmers with a lo tta bottle celebrated with a p in t of th e white s tu f f a f te r a n a t io n a l su p e rm a rk e t chain agreed to stock locally produced
Rowland Fresh milk. For the past three years farmers from 15
specially selected farms in the Forest of Bowland area have supplied Bowland Fresh to Booths, but now their produce will be retailing at nine Asda stores across Lancashire too. And if sales of the two and four pint bot
tles go well at the stores - including those in Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley and Colne - the milk may become available in Asda stores throughout the North West. Bowland Fresh milk is collected daily
from 15 farms across the Kibble Valley before being taken to a dedicated local cen tre where it is bottled and then distributed
to retailers. As the initiative is owned by the farmers
themselves it ensures that the milk pro duced by their herds travels a fraction of the food miles of normal milk. Bowland Fresh farmers receive more for
their product than they would on the wholesale market, as well as giving cus tomers - who by buying the milk are direct ly supporting local farmers and their fami lies - the satisfaction of knowing exactly where the milk comes from. By taking control of the processing part
of the supply chain, as well as the market ing of the milk, each producer receives a decent proportion of the price. Martyn Bristol, one of the Bowland
Fresh farmers, said: “This initiative puts us on a sounder footing for the present, and gives us a much better future. Instead of standing completely still financially and keeping our heads just above water, as a family we can now look to re-invest some thing into the future health of the business. That is quite something when you think that, if it had not been for Bowland Fresh
%
at least half of the farmers on the scheme would have either gone out of business or retired early by now. I t is important that we can work directly with the retailer - and I think that is going to be the way ahead for many farmers in the future.” Karen Todd, the local sourcing manager
for Asda, added: “Working with Bowland Fresh is not only a new and exciting oppor tunity for us, but it further highlights our commitment to working alongside local producers. Our number one request from customers is for local products in store and now thanks to Bowland Fresh, they can pop a fresh pint of local milk into their bas-
