LOCAL councils across the North West - including Kibble Valley Borough Council - are struggling to bring about energy effi­ ciency improvements in line with Govern­ ment targets. Councils have to ensure that household


energy efficiency levels increase by 2% a year if they are to meet the 2010 deadline for improvement. But local councils are lagging behind and, according to the latest Government figures, the majority of local

Still not hitting energy efficiency targets


authorities across the North West are set to miss the target. The figures, published by DEFKA show that only 12 out of 43 councils in the North West are currently on course. Kibble Valley Borough Council has had


an energy efficiency improvement of 9.76% since 1996 - ahead of many other councils, but below the required standard. To be on target councils should now be achieving an 18% improvement.

Concerned dog owner on wounding charge


A MAN who was concerned about the disappearance of his dog ended up injuring a man in a park. Andrew Farrington's view was that the


victim had taken the dog and he confront­ ed him in the park. The injured man sus­


tained a two-centimetre cut to his hand. Farrington (39) of Whalley Koad, Lang-


ho, appeared for sentence at Preston Crown Court after previously admitting unlawful wounding. Judge Anthony Kussell QC told Farring­


ton that the offence was indeed serious. He said the case was unusual and had


occurred when he was under stress about the disappearance of his dog. Farrington was sentenced to 40 weeks’ inprisonment, suspended for 12 months.
