18 Clifheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, May 10th; 2007 Safety first - again


A SAFETY-CONSCIOUS Clitheroe com­ pany has won a gold medal from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for the second year in a row. The prestigious award has gone to 3M,


which makes aerosol valves for the pharma­ ceutical industry a t its Clitheroe plant. The annual RoSPA occupational health and safe­ ty awards recognise companies that lead the way with their health and safety manage­ ment systems, with bronze, silver and gold level awards. The gold medal is given to companies that have achieved the gold stan­ dard for at least five consecutive years. Bob Wilkinson, the environment, health


and safety engineer for 3M’s Clitheroe site, said gaining the gold medal again was a trib­ ute to the ongoing efforts made by all employees there.

“It reflects the commitment of the com­


pany and everyone at the site to always put­ ting safety first,” said Bob. The award will be presented at a special


RoSPA ceremony in Birmingham later this month.


Wanted! Your old m o b i le s


ONE man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure, or so they say, and Lancashire Young Farmers are out to prove it! They have just launched a


new Recycling Appeal that will turn old mobile phones and used printer cartridges into much-needed funds for the organisation. Elyse Chatterton, of Lan­


cashire Young Farmers, said: “Appeals traditionally call for donations of money, but not ours! Instead, we want items usually put in the bin. “With new mobiles coming


on to the market every month, people are replacing their hand­ sets more than ever. The old ones usually end up binned, or are thrown in a cupboard or drawer, adding to the millions piling up across Europe.” Lancashire YF is running its


campaign in partnership with experts a t the Recycling


Plans in the pipeline


PLANNING applications have been submitted to Ribble Valley Borough Council for full consent and to alter or extend a listed build­ ing by the demolition of flat roofed single storey hall extension. There is also the addition of a


small conservatory extension to the kitchen and a link to the barn; the replacement of white uPCV sun room with a stone built garden room; the removal of stylistically unsuitable and poorly designed sin­ gle storey entrance hall extension; and restoration of the north eleva­ tion windows and doors to their original configuration before their alteration in the 1950s. Comments on the proposals at


Waddington New Hall, Edisford Road, Waddington, (numbers 0341,0342,0343) must be made to the council by May 18th. Other applications submitted


include: Waddinglon: Two-storey exten­


sion to include new garage, loft con­ version to form new bedroom (with dormer) and conversion of existing garage into habitable room at Lig- mell, Bcechthorpe Avenue (0358). Wiswell: Installation of a lOkw


wind powered generator on a 12m free standing tower on land to the north of Clerk Hill Road and to the rear of the abattoir (0388). Worslon: Two-storey rear exten­ sion at Littlecroft (0299).


Appeal, who ivill give the organ­ isation around £5 for every mobile and around £1 for every printer cartridge collected. Elyse added: “Lots of offices


bin their inkjet and toner car­ tridges too - why not donate them instead? ” When mobiles and cartridges


are binned they end up in land­ fill sites where they can cause pollution. As they slowly break down, chemicals can leak into the surrounding soil. Recycling them instead helps to protect the environment. To support this fund-raiser,


simply drop off any unwanted phones or printer cartridges at the YFC Office, Ribblesdale Centre, Lincoln Way, Clitheroe. Alternatively, call 08451 302010 for a freepost envelope to post phones and cartridges, or hand them in at the your local YF C lu b -c a l l 01200 426335 to find your nearest club.


Recycle


paper here ’niERE is no such thing as waste paper... not when it can be recycled! Now staff at


Clitheroe’s Trinity Community Partner­ ship arc hoping local people will get behind their drive to recycle as much paper as pos­ sible. They have taken


delivery of a large paper recycling con­ tainer, which is sited on the Kwik Save car park, off Parson Lane. The bin is for use


by both business and private recyclers alike. All general paper, phone directo­ ries and books can be put there, but no cardboard.

I


very heart of the communities they serve and play an extraor­ dinarily important role in shap­ ing local agendas and priorities. It seems to me that more and


more people are now recognising the severity of the threat posed by climate change. And they are prepared to do


their bit to help in the way they live their own lives.


The Prince backs our environment theme The b a tt le against climate

But that’s where the problems


and questions start. There is, of course, a tremendous temptation to regard climate change as someone else’s problem. We have all heard the familiar


complaints: “I t ’s all the fault of the oil companies”, “I ’ve never driven a 4 by 4”, “my house is well insulated”, “whatever we do won’t make a difference because the Chinese and Indian economies are growing so fast”. Yet, somehow, we have to get


past these and similar reactions if we are going to play our full part in dealing with the problem.


A helping hand for West Africa people


ALUMINIUM can recycling in Ribble Valley is giv­ ing a vital environmental boost to West African vil­


lages. As part of a nationwide recycling scheme launched


by the aluminium industry, Ribble Valley Borough Council has been given native oaks for planting at its internationally acclaimed Woodland Burial Site in Clitheroe Cemetery. The council has received the trees in return for recy­


cling aluminium cans and for each tree planted in the Ribble Valley another is being planted in West Africa. Trees for food and medicinal use are being grown in special nurseries aimed at helping the people of the sub-Sahara manage their environment in a sustain­ able way. The trees have been provided by ALUPRO, a non­


profit organisation backed by the aluminium and packaging industries. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s countryside offi­


cer, David Hewitt, said: “This is a great example of how an environmental scheme in this country can benefit another in the developing world. Planting trees is good medicine for the earth and not only does the Ribble Valley benefit but the developing world does, too. This scheme is a great example of how we can think globally, by acting locally.”


Ribble Valley Borough Council’s woodland burial


site is considered one of the best in the world and has been praised by academics and environmentalists. One of Ribble Valley Borough Council’s three key ambitions is to “protect and enhance the environmen­ tal quality of the area.”


Fascinating picture history


THE Shaws, John and son Alfred, are well known for having photographed the streets of Blackburn and the villages of the Ribble Valley. However their early 20th Century collec­


tion of more than 1,400 glass negatives lan­ guished for 50 years in the strong-room of Blackburn Library. Happily the speaker at the meeting of


Clitheroe and District Probus Club, James Halsall, then sorted and catalogued the collection and, with the aid of his technical colleague, Alan Parkin, copied them into 35mm slide format as well as storing a dig­ ital copy for long-term preservation. They presented the first part of this col­

VINTAGE white open-top VW Beetles transported the bridal party to the wedding of Miss Heather Williams and Mr Mark Ramsay at Eaves House Coun­ try Hotel, West Bradford. The bride is the daughter of


Mr and Mrs Barry and Cynthia Williams, of Chaigley, and her bridegroom is the son of Mr and Mrs Derek and Lesley Ramsay, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Given away by her father, the


bride wore a simple Thai silk dress and flip-flops and carried a loose hand-tied bouquet of roses, eucalyptus, rosemary and freesias. Bridesmaids were Dr Sophie


Axford, Miss Katy Melling, Mrs Emily Mellors and Miss Rebec­ ca Ramsay, who wore emerald green chiffon halter neck dresses and carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet. Best man was Mr John Sin­


clair, supported by Mr Neil Haswell. The witnesses were Mr Robert


Williams, brother of the bride, and Miss Karen Ramsay, sister of the groom. After the reception, also held


at Eaves Hall Country Hotel, the couple honeymooned in Thailand. They will continue to live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Picture by Gemma Leak.


lection to the Probus meeting. The outstanding clarity of most of the


black and white photos provided a fasci­ nating view of scenes in Clitheroe, Mitton, Ribchester, Low Moor and many other places in the Ribble Valley.


The speaker was happy to receive back­


ground information from the audience - who duly obliged when a building was recognised. All the photos were taken between 1900


and 1913 hence the lack of cars. The unlocked cycles, the unattended


prams and the open house windows all depicted a society where trust and honesty were quite normal aspects of life 100 years ago but almost non-existent today. The vote of thanks was given by member


Bob Jones who observed that this was part one and he hoped ihembers could look for­ ward to part two at some future time in the club programme. The next meeting of the Clitheroe and


District Probus Club is on May 18th. at 10-45 a.m. The venue will be the Pendle Club, Low-


ergate, Clitheroe, when Mr Bill Barker will take as his subject “Mongolia”.


Are you concerned for the Valley’s future? DO vnn


DO you share the concerns of the Cam­ paign to Protect Rural England that the countryside we enjoy and cherish may be under threat from pressures that farmers and landowners will not be able to resist? That the demand for cheaper homegrown food will bring about, overnight, irrepara­ ble changes to the landscape that has taken centuries to evolve? Can our Valley cope with these pressures or will its rural charm be lost? •
