targeted during a 13-day blitz in the rural borough. Officers from Ciitheroe Police caught 251 motorists failing to wear a seat- belt while 43 were issued with a £60 fixed fine and given three penalty points for using a mobile phone when driving. The operation followed a


iM.fl t i


month-long campaign run in October last year, which saw 34 fixed penalty notices handed out to drivers using a mobile phone while driving and 223 motorists were caught behind the wheel without a seatbelt on. Sgt John Lindsay, of Ciitheroe


Police, has been in charge of the crackdown and says he feels dis­ appointed with the results.


“There has been a rise ,in


motorists flouting legislation in the past 12 months. All the Com­ munity Beat Manager and Police Community Support Officers worked together during the .13 days in July and targeted roads in Ciitheroe, Whalley, Read, Simon- stone, Langho, Wilpshire and Longridge. “The operation followed com­


plaints raised at monthly Police and Community Together (PACT) meetings and we had some very interesting excuses. “Most of the areas we targeted


were residential urban areas where drivers were passing junc­ tions, houses, businesses and schools potentially putting peo­ ple at risk. “In one incident, a woman was


stopped after being spotted using her mobile phone while driving. When she saw the officers approaching her vehicle, she threw the phone in the footwell and denied ever using it.


Disease vaccine


now available FARMERS in Lancashire can finally vaccinate their livestock against Bluetongue disease from today. The Bluetonge Protection Zone


has been extended to include the whole of Lancashire from today, while vaccine manufacturer Merial has released more than two million additional doses of Bluetongue


serotype 8. Now the National Farmers Union "


(NFU) is urging livestock farmers to vaccinate their animals as soon as possible, warning that apathy is not


an option., France currently has in the region


of 2,200 new positive Bluetongue C 3 S 6 S* '


Approximately 900 of these hap­


pened in the past week and another ■ 1,000 in the week before. NFU Lancashire county chairman,


Gisburn farmer David Graveston, said: “You only have to look at what’s happening on the Continent to realise that Bluetongue disease is


still prevailing. “Although we’ve not had any new


f


kcases of Bluetongue in Britain ^recently, the predictions from the experts are that it could raise its ugly head at any time. Farmers who are ^ thinking of saving a bit of cash or feel it’s unnecessary to vaccinate because we haven’t had any recent outbreaks should think again.” _^

ing a man was caught not wear­ ing a seatbelt and when ques­ tioned his excuse was he was rushing to a doctor’s appoint­ ment when he actually didn’t have one.” He added: “This operation was


about road safety, and motorists continue to be under the watchful - eye of police officers. “Using a mobile phone while


driving has been an offence since 2003 and is clearly unacceptable - not only are they putting their own lives at risk, but they are risking the lives of other road users too.” He went on to say; “ I hope


what we have done last month will make people think twice before breaking the law in future and set out a clear signal to them that we mil not tolerate this type of behaviour and we will take firm action against anyone found to he doing so.”

VITAL medical equipment needed by health bosses at Ciitheroe Health Cen­ tre can now be bought - after cash was provided by a generous local organisa­


tion. Members of the Waddington-based


Royal Forest Lodge No. 401 have donated £1,500 towards new medical equipment, including the funding of dig­ ital blood pressure machines. The money has come from the Provincial Grand Master’s Fund Com­


mittee from the West Riding Masonic Charities Limited. Mr Keith Lavender secretary of the


Lodge said: “We are delighted to have been able to help particularly as the medical items are not available on the


NHS.” Our picture shows Mr Harvey Robin­


son and Mr Michael Stratton from the Masonic Lodge and Chapter presenting the cheques to Dr Zakrewski a t the health centre. (T260508/1)
