nate the initiative after a survey conducted in the Ribble Valley revealed more than 40% of local schoolchildren drink regularly. As a result, the Ribble Valley Crime and Disorder Reduction
Partnership, commissioned Crimestoppers to lead a ground breaking campaign, the first of its kind in the country, to highlight the problems associated with underage drinking to youngsters. Through the initiative, young
sters were also made aware of the confidential Crimestoppers line number - 0800 555 111 - which they are free to call at any time to alert the police of outlets that sup ply alcohol to underage drinkers. The initiative saw students work
with rap musician Donovan Brown, to write and record their own rap for school, and later pres ent in assembly. Bill Alker, co-ordinator of The

commissioned and funded the project, said: “Our intention was to look at different ways of engag ing kids in the whole debate around underage drinking and we certainly thought that the rap poetry idea was a different way of tackling it.” He added: “We are pleased with
the outcome, but I suppose at the end of the day, the proof of the pudding will be if we see any change in attitude towards the cul- ture of underage drinking and whether we see any more anony mous phone calls to the Crimestoppers line.” Our picture shows rap poet

River polluting firm hit with £20,000 fine
by Julie Magee
RIBBLE Valley abattoir Dunbia (England) Ltd, formerly Rose County Foods Ltd, has been fined £20,000 for polluting a tributary of the River Ribble. Bosses pleaded guilty to
the offence, which occurred at the River Ribble at Gis- bum Cotes Hall Farm, Saw- ley, on March 3rd, 2005, when the case came before Hyndburn Magistrates’ Court on Friday. The abattoir, which is
based a t Gisburn Road, Sawley, was also ordered to pay £1,277.72 costs to the Environment Agency, which brought the prosecution. Magistrates were told
Company could appeal
how the abattoir waste entered the River Ribble from a tributary and dis coloured a 300-metre stretch of the river. The pollution was tracked back to a ditch, which was severely dis coloured red/brown and effluent could be seen run ning off a field, which led to the tributary of the River Ribble. The incident happened,
the court was told, because Dunbia (England) Ltd spread effluent, including ab a tto ir washing waters containing blood, on farm fields in this area. Dunbia (England) was
responsible for making sure that the spreading was only done under the supervision
of suitably qualified staff, following proper considera tion of the ground condi tions. The guidelines for the code of Good Agricultural Practice for farmers and companies who spread efflu ent onto fields state that no spreading should take place within 10 metres of a water course. A spokesman for Dunbia
told the Clitheroe Advertis er and Times i t was now considering an appeal against the fines. “The offence of which the
company was accused was of a technical nature and the magistrates remarked on the extent to which the company had sought to operate within the Environ

DESPITE the poor weather more than 150 youngsters made their way to Clitheroe Castle grounds to take part in the many activities arranged for the Clitheroe Cycle Festival. During the afternoon they
were able to try their skills on the computer trainer, clocking up the miles while going nowhere, a little more athletic was a speed obstacle course in
and out of cones and a time trial course. For those who wished to see the past and the future there was a “Go Ride” exhibition of different models of bicycles and tricycles together with old-style cycles such as the penny far thing. Target ball and “Howzat” cricket challenges also kept the children amused and active. The festival was a prelude to the evening Clitheroe Cycle
Grand Prix and was organised by Ribble Valley Borough Coun cil Sports Development team and sponsored by Clitheroe the Future. Pictured are children battling
it out on the computer trainer. (A020806/10m) ® For pictures and a full
