Clampdown on illegal killing


COUNCIL officials have joined forces with neigh­ bouring East Lancashire authorities, Preston City Council and the police in a crackdown on the ille­ gal slaughter of animals. Ribble Valley Borough


Bishop’s visit The Bishop of Sal­ ford, the Rt Rev. Terence Brain, will make his first visit to Sabden next week. The Bishop will take 10-30 a.m. Mass at St Mary’s RC Church on Sun­ day.


Clean-up A clean-up of the grounds of St Mary's RC Church has begun. Last Sat­ urday a small group began working to tidy up the area around the church in Whalley Road. On Saturday more volunteers are asked to go along at 9-30 a.m. to continue the work.


More News from the Villages on Page 34.


Council’s Environmental Health dep a r tm en t is concerned that livestock is being slaughtered at remote farms in contra­ vention of food hygiene regulations. Anyone engaged in the


illegal slaughter of ani­ mals is being warned that they face hefty fines or prison. Mr James Russell, the


council’s environmental health manager, said: “Last year we uncovered evidence of sheep being slaughtered for illegal trade at a remote farm under poor and possibly cruel conditions. “Although we are not


sure of the scale of this illegal trade, it is impor­ tant that we enlist the help of residents, farms and businesses in stamp­ ing it out. “It is unlawful to kill


and supply meat other than from approved abattoirs, otherwise it


may not be safe to eat and the animals may have suffered needlessly.” Environmental health


officers from throughout East Lancashire and Pre­ ston will be carrying out surveillance at farms and food businesses over the coming weeks, while the police will be identifying vehicles that may be car­ rying illegal meat. “We will endeavour to


use the full weight of the law against premises involved in the supply of illegal meat,” James added. Under the Food


Hygiene (England) Reg­ ulations 2006, people involved in the illegal slaughter of animals and food business operators who fail to ensure that their meat comes from a legitimate source face up to two years in prison, a fine, or both. Ribble Valley residents


with information about the illegal slaughter of animals are asked to con­ tact Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council’s Environ­ mental Health Depart­ ment in confidence on 01200 414468.


Wild night gives way to fine day


AFTER a wild night of wind and rain, Clitheroe Ramblers were delighted to have a fine day for their walk from Hurst Green, although i t was still very wet underfoot. The route went through Mill Wood


and past Greengore and Crowshaw House. After a short distance on the road the forestry tracks provided a route along Longridge Fell in a wide arc, which was dry and easy to walk. A coffee stop was taken at Sam’s Best


View with beautiful views across to Par- lick and Totteridge. The forestry track brought the group to Kemple End, with views of Pendle and the Ribble Valley, where they followed the road to Higher Hodder Bridge. The route then stayed close to the Hodder through woods and fields. The riverbank provided a lunch stop


and the sun even shone. After passing Hodder Court, Lower Hodder Bridge was reached and the group continued on the Hodder Way to the confluences of the Hodder and the Ribble and the Calder. The track past Fox Fields led to the


road and back to Hurst Green. Although the Ramblers often travel to the Lake District and the Dales for their walks, they have some of the most beautiful countryside on their doorstep and the views are even better in the winter when the leaves do not block the view
