ERADICATING complicated and bureaucratic rules that govern the way farmers move sheep has become one of the NFU's top priorities. North West livestock board chairman,


Thomas Binns, who farms at Hecklin Farm, Downham, wants to see sheep' movement regulations and their enforce­ ment made easier, so he will be looking into the problem with some urgency. Mr Binns is optimistic as he feels the


Government, who have appointed an NFU member to look into this problem, share the NFU's concerns "I am aware that sheep movement rules since the introduction of new


Crufts honour for top bulldog judge


THE honour of judging one of the


world’s most prestigious dog shows was bestowed on Clitheroe man Earl Kenyon at the weekend. Mr Kenyon, who owns Shireburn


Kennels in Waddington Old Road, judged the British Bulldog class at the 103rd Crufts dog show on Satur­ day. A retired bulldog breeder, this was


the first time Mr Kenyon, who has judged competitions in America, Swe­ den and Japan, has judged at Crufts. The bulldog class whichMr Kenyon was responsible for boasted one of the highest entries to the show - around 230 in total.


European sheep identification regula­ tions have become very, very complicat­ ed and have been rhade increasingly dif­ ficult for sheep farmers to know if they are complying or not," said Mr Binns. "I suggest that we set up a working;


group to simplify the situation but we ' don't have much time'in which to achieve our goal.


' . ■ "Sheep farmers who'feel this red tape-


is fast becoming an unnecessary pres­ sure on their business should know that the NFU through myself and the live­ stock board will be working tirelessly to find a solution that will benefit all pro­ ducers.''

MOURNERS packed St John’s Church in Read for the funeral of Mr Peter Redpath, a respected business­ man, who applied his strong principles and integrity to local politics.


• Civic dignitaries including Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Mary Robinson paid their respects to Mr Redpath (pictured) along­ side fellow councillors, business colleagues, friends and relatives at the service on Tuesday.


Well-known in the Ribble Valley for his


role as a Conservative borough councillor, Mr Redpath.(78) represented Read from 1995 to 2003, acting as council leader between May 1999 and 2002. Born to Harry and Anne Redpath in


Poole, Dorset, on March 11th, 1927, early life between the -wars were difficult for the Redpaths, with Mr Redpath’s parents and his siblings Elaine and Dennis, sharing a terrace house with another family and sleeping five to a room. However, Mr Redpath’s aptitude soon


became apparent and after excelling at pri­ mary school he became one of only two local children to be awarded a scholarship to Poole Grammar School in 1938. Ending his school life as head boy and

FLYING mudlarks from Gis- burn Primary School are cele­ brating their latest sporting tri­ umph in the Hyndburn and Rib- ole Valley Primary Schools’" Cross-Country Tournament. Held at Clayton-le-Moors, heavy rain had made the course very


; muddy in places and the gruelling conditions made the event a real test of endurance., It was the first time that the


school had entered the competition and it was a surprise to many when the children held off stiff competi­ tion from 17 other schools, many of them much bigger, to emerge overall winners. The girls came a close second in


their event, with Rachael Bunyan being the first team member home in 7th place. The boys then produced a fantas-'


, tic display of long-distance running,' coming home with a record low score of30points. Richard Hartley produced the


team’s best individual performance, coming in second place. Mr Andrew Symonds, the school’s


headteacher, said: “We are all incred­ ibly proud of the children, the condi­ tions made standing up difficult-in places, but nothing seemed to stop the team, who produced such a won­ derful result! “They cheered each other on and


are a real credit to Mrs Dugdale, one of the teachers at school who has taken on the role of coaching the squad.”

passing all his subjects with A grades, Mr Redpath went on to join Lloyds Bank as a clerk. :


;. As soon as he was eligible, he joined the


Royal Navy in 1945 - just as the major part of the war was ending. In 1947 after serving in Ceylon and the Middle East, Mr Redpath was demobbed and offered a , job at Lucas Manufacturing in Burnley. This is where he met a beautiful tele­


phonist Maureen O’Reilly, who was to become his wife in 1951. The couple shared a house on Manches­


ter Road, Burnley, with another couple, until Mr Redpath was offered a manage­ ment position at Ford Motors in Dagen­ ham. After moving to Romford, Maureen

became president of Read and Simonstone


: Constitutional Club. Within two years, Mr Redpath was


appointed as managing director of Caligen and steered the company to success until it was bought by British Vita in 1983. For the next five or six years, Mr Red­


path worked as a consultant with a variety of businesses before eventually teaming up with the East Lancs Chamber of Com­ merce.


: ^ Despite suffering a heart attack in 1999,


when he was leader of the council, Mr Redpath recovered and led the council until 2002. Over the past few years, he devoted


much of his time to serving the local com­ munity through various organisations


; including East Lancs Partnership and var­ ious Regional Economic and Business Link Partnerships. Late last" year, Mr Redpath was diag­


career for Mr Redpath, joining Marley Tiles in Sevenoaks, Kent. By 1957, Mau­ reen gave birth to their second son, Michael. Mr Redpath was now part of'a troubleshooting management team set up by Marley Tiles to modernise their pro­ duction facilities; In early 1958, the family was uprooted


and moved to Frankfurt in Germany by the company. Two years later saw Mr Redpath appointed as production manag­ er to Marley in Frome, Wiltshire. The family then upped sticks and moved to a small ■village near Bath.


, . ■ In 1965, after a relatively stable five


year period, Mr Redpath was headhunted by several companies and eventually


’decided to join Caligen Foam in Accring­ ton as general manager. His starting salary was an amazing £4,000 per annum, plus a company car. ■


The Redpaths moved to George Lane,


Read, in 1966 and finally put down their roots at Pendle House, the family home. They settle into -village social life very well, and as well as supporting the local cricket team, Mr Redpath joined and eventually

nosed with tongue cancer and up until last Monday, was undergoing radiotherapy treatment at Preston Royal Infirmary. His treatment was going very well, but


tragically on Tuesday morning, he suffered a heart attack and passed away peaceful­ ly at home in the arms of his wife Mau­ reen. Mr Redpath was a loving husband of 55


years as well as a caring and on many occa­ sions, understanding and patient father to his two sons Peter and Michael. He did not suffer fools gladly, but was a


man of dignity, principles and above all integrity. His company was always enter­ taining and occasionally enlightening, but never boring. An agile, intelligent mind mixed with a


rapid wry sense of humour stayed with him almost into his 79th year. His passing leaves a space which will never again be filled for many people. Mr Redpath leaves behind his beloved


wife Maureen, sons Peter and Michael, daughter-in-laws Rosanne and Janirie and grandchildren Katie and Georgina. A celebration of his life took place at


Read and Simonstone Constitutional Club follomng committal at Burnley Cremato­ rium.

‘ P 1sionate about his poli­ : J .


eter Redpath was pas­ tics. He was depend­


able and driven by his desire to see common sense reintroduced back into our daily life. He had no time for any of the political­ ly correct nonsense that dogs most of us. It was the same phi­ losophy that he deployed as leader of the Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council. “He was active and led from


the front. When it came to can­ vassing Peter was not a fair weather supporter. In all sorts of weather Peter would turn out at election times with a team of people which he had


organised. He was energetic and always keen to get going. “His experience of business


added to his involvement in the party. He was never shy in giv­ ing me encouragement to pur­ sue my goals. I will miss him as will the Conservative Party. He was a large man in every sense of the word and was devoted to his family especially Maureen, ; hiswife. The Conservative Party and


the Ribble Valley are indebted to him for his public service and his love of community.’
