Motto is: to reduce, recycle and re-use
by Faiza Afzaal
THEY may only be young, but children at one Clitheroe school are eager to reduce, re use and recycle waste. Ninety pupils at Edisford Pri
mary School signed a petition and. handed it to Ribble Valley Bor- .ough Council demanding a recy cling collection to their school in a bid to make a big difference to the environment around them. The petition, headed “Please
■ f ' Y" t
help us to recycle our waste”, was submitted in the form of a letter from the youngsters who, during a “Green Week” learned that their school was being charged for col lection of waste. The environmentally-friendly youngsters were concerned with
the large amount of waste paper produced by the school and after holding talks with the school council, they immediately put pen
to paper. Commenting on the move,
headteacher Mr Robert Pye said: “I ’m pretty pleased. The pupils want to protect their future and recycle waste. “They are taking responsibility
for improving their environment and are trying to do something about it. The staff and I are very delighted to see that.” Mr Pye explained th a t the
school produced enough waste each week to fill a skip. He added; “Almost 90% of the
waste produced can be recycled such as plastic bottles, cans and cartons, paper, cardboard, wood and general day-to-day items.
which we use. We already pay £1,200 a year to a private waste management firm for the disposal of general waste. “It we wanted to recycle any
thing, we were told that the serv ice would involve a cost. When the
■ pupils heard about this, they wast ed no time in writing to the local council.” Mr Peter McGeorge, the bor
ough council’s waste management officer, said he welcomed the chil dren’s interest and the council would work wth the school to help find a solution. Our picture shows pupils keen to
do their bit to save the environ ment, along with Mr Pye and Rib ble Valley Borough Council’s street scene manager Mr Graham dagger.

said Linford had already earned glowing reports from staff at the hostel where she had been living
for several weeks. “I t seems th e . key to Rachel Linford is keeping her away from Clitheroe,” said Mr Ditta. Linford, formerly of Hodder
Grove, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to two breaches of an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) and assaulting a police officer by spit ting in his face. • Mrs Isla Chilton (prosecuting)
said for a woman of Linford’s age she had an “incredible number of convictions”.
®A MOTORIST returned to find the bonnet of his Audi A4 damaged. . Vandals targeted the car while it was
parked in Victoria Street, Clitheroe, around 1-20 a.m. last Thursday, causing an estimated £200 worth of damage.
“She went to prison for breach
ing it in January 2006 and has been in and out of prison since then,” said Mrs Chilton. Mr.Ditta said the Rachel Lin
ford portrayed by the prosecution and her criminal record bore no resemblance to the one described in reports from the Probation Ser vice and the hostel in Liverpool. “This could be the way to break
the cycle and help both the people of Clitheroe and Rachel Linford,” he added.

Pupils bang the drum for Africa!
SOUNDS of the savannah put sheep in Grindleton on the lookout for lions when the village school hosted an African drum ming workshop.
Enthusiastic youngsters at Grindleton CE Primary School were able to learn about the different rhythms and beats and also about the drums themselves and where they came from. Best of all, they got to have a go!
Led by expert Peter, of Education Group Percussion Workshops, they had a fantas tic afternoon, concluding in an after-school performance for their parents - who also got a chance to join in. The decibel level was off the scale, but so was the fun factor,
■ too! Our picture shows one of the pupils getting to grips with a drum almost as big as her self. (s) .
