18 Clitheroe Advertiser STitnes, Thursday, April 26th, 2007 Six new polling stations


VOTEES in Kibble Valley are being reminded that there are six new polling stations in use for the borough and


parish council elections on May 3rd. Electors will receive a poll card stating the


location of their designated polling station. They are being advised to check it carefully to see where their polling station is - not just go along to where they have voted before. Polling stations will be open from 7 a.m.


to 10 p.m. and all eligible registered electors will be able to cast their vote in person. Polling station staff have received training in assisting disabled voters. Once inside the polling station, voters are


required to tell staff their name and address, so that their details can be checked against the electoral register before being given a ballot paper listing the candidates standing for election. They are asked to take the bal­


lot paper to a polling booth and mark a cross in the box to the right of the name of their chosen candidate. They then fold the ballot paper and put it in the ballot box. Anyone requiring assistance in complet­


ing their ballot paper can take a companion with them, or polling station staff should be able to help. Ribble Valley’s new polling stations are; © Clitheroe, Primrose Ward - King’s Cen­

WITH warmer weather just around the corner and that


longed for summer break edging closer, it's easy to feel relaxed in your own skin and look


forward to what lies ahead. But for some of us, there's


just one thing holding us back from looking forward to the summer sun.


Not being able to cover up in our winter woolies and having


to dig out those tiny T-shirts and skimpy shorts is a dreaded thought.


If you haven't started thinking


about losing a few extra pounds before now, it's definitely something that will hit you


when the sun peeps through your curtains on that


scorching hot summer day.. Guaranteed, this is not the first year you've had these thoughts.


You've probably tried every diet under the sun and never found the one that works for you.


Health and fitness expert Adrian Burton, of Bodywars, Nelson, who has appeared on ITV's "Fat


Families", said: "So many people try diets and ultimately fail. What they then do is blame themselves when all along


they're using a flawed technique. People are being given the wrong information when they


need to be educated on what is right for them as an individual. "Everyone is different and not


just on the outside, some slightly, others extremely. Not only do we have different blood types and


different organ sizes but also dif­ ferent nutritional requirements. One diet does not f it all."


Adrian travelled the world learn­ ing from the leading experts


about us as individuals and the way our bodies work. He has been asked to give advice on


reality TV programmes, the Daily Mail, The Sunday Times, Closer magazine, and has trained the everyday individual to famous football players.


He said: "One man's food is


another man's poison. That is the very reason why your friend


might have lost endless weight following one diet and you try


the same diet and actually gain weight. You're as individual as your own fingerprint."


Adrian is on a mission, a mission to get people healthy and in a


way they understand how they are achieving the results. He


wants you to come to one of his free seminars to hear how it all makes sense.


‘HEALTH & FITNESS TRUTH' FREE SEMINAR.


The food th a t you eat not only keeps you alive but determines how you live your life. Your


moods, your energy and your lifespan are all affected by your daily diet.


"Take a couple of hours of your


time to listen to something that could change your life forever."


Adrian's FREE seminar is running on May 16th, from 7 p.m at


Bodywars, on th e Kenyon Business Centre, Suite One, Kenyon Road, Nelson. Seats are limited


so to book call Adrian on 698698. •«'. ■>. ’ i- ’


off round the course which took in many Valley villages. Said Mr Bell: “It was absolutely


' superb. The weather was a little bit damp, but there was not enough rain to stop people coming out ivith their cars. We were really pleased with the turnout and if the weather had been better we would probably have got a few more entries.” The club has several more events


planned for the year, including the Fellsman Classic on May 19th and


the Blackpool to Scarborough Coast to Coast. For more details visit the club’s website www.lanc- sautoclub.com. And Sunday’s event proved to be


so popular that drivers have asked for a similar event to be staged as the season draws to a close. Pictured are some of those who


took part in the event. ® For more pictures from this

Diesel spill at Mearley


ENVIRONMENT Agency officials were alerted to an oil spill in Mearley Brook on Thursday. Karl Hunter, an


Environment Officer, said: “On April 19th a member of the public alerted us to a possible oil spill at Mearley Brook. “On inspection there


was a small amount of diesel in the brook that was dispersing quickly and there was no visible effects to wildlife. As the spill was such a small quan­ tity we were unable to trace the source in this case.” ©Anyone who spots


pollution incidents should contact the Environment Agency’s 24-hour emergency hotline on 0800 80 70 60.

ENVIRONMENTALLY friendly Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council has given its green credentials a boost by switching to recycled paper. Paper constitutes half all office waste in the


UK and the average office worker uses up to 100 sheets per day. Using virgin and old-growth forests for


office paper results in the loss of forests, the destruction of habitats, is energy intensive and causes pollution. Studies have revealed that recycling paper


and using recycled paper is more energy-effi­ cient, generates less waste and reduces carbon emissions. Ribble Valley Borough Council, which


recently switched its vehicles to bio-fuel, has now chosen to use only recycled paper. Its Director of Resources, Marshal Scott,


said: “Progressive local authorities set high environmental standards and the use of recy­ cled paper is a clear demonstration of sustain­ able procurement. “Using recycled paper will reduce the


impact of our business on the environment and fulfil our environmental policies.” One of Ribble Valley Borough Council’s


three key ambitions is to “protect and enhance” the environmental quality of the area. From running council vehicles on bio-fuel to

Office Depot, a member of the World Wildlife Fund’s Trade Network and former winner of


the European Office Products Award tor Environmental Responsibility. Pictured are computer technician Liam
