United to fight crime
by Faiza Afzaal______
TRADERS and pub landlords in Whalley.have joined forces with , the police to tackle crime and anti-: social behaviour. I As part of a new “Whalley Ring Round” scheme, launched last week, they have joined a special telephone network system aimed at delivering a sense of security to both retailers and shoppers and to crack down on thefts from shops. . The move is the brainchild of Whalley’s Police Community Sup port Officer (PCSO) Jane Pearson and follows a spate of thefts in the village. In the past fewjveeks, thieves have targetedishops in Whalley
and escaped with a jacket, hand bag and a charity box. In thejat- est incident, which;occurred ;last week, 10 designer handbags were - stolen from a shop during an overnight break-in. ,
i PCSO Pearson commented: “It’s good to see all the shopkeepers and ? pub licensees working together to combat crime. ■ “In the past few weeks we have had a lot of thefts from shops. In addition, police have also had
reports of counterfeit,£20 notes;;: and £1
coins.being'circulated.'L\si.s^ • 1. “With‘'the ;‘ring round’ system,'':i retailers and licensees can now con tact each other, as well as the police, if they notice anyone acting; suspiciously inside or outside their
'premises and warn them if trouble makers are on their .way. : “This will not only create
greater awareness,-but it will pro vide security for both workers and shoppers in the area.” v ; The move Fas been welcomed by Whalley Parish Council and Mrs Gillian Darbyshire, chairman of the village’s Chamber of Trade. She said: “Whalley' had a similar : scheme years ago, but in light of
lihejrecent incidents, traders have JejT^essed concern and asked for it to be revived.’,’ "similar views were expressed by
trader Jon Smith, who runs Whal ley Warm and Dry and Whalley councillors Joyce Holgate and Terry Hill who said: “Everyone is
: aware that the Ribble Valley is the safest place to live in Lancashire. This scheme reinforces the initia tive to keep to keep it that way.” Our picture shows Coun. Hol

Samlesbury. The former Billington resident lived
with his wife, Helen, and two young ., sons, George and Harry, in Low Moor,
Clitheroe. The match was kicked off by Mr
Carney’s mother, Margaret, after which the players were served food and drinks at the Judge Walmesley pub, in Billington. Organiser of the match and a child
hood friend of Mr Carney, Mr Nor man Wareing, said: “Despite the dull and horrible weather, everyone had a fantastic time. I had known David for
the past 35 years and was devastated by his death. It was nice to see his fam ily, friends and former work colleagues take part in the friendly match.” Similar views were shared by Mr
Carney’s mother who said: “David loved playing football and was an avid Everton supporter. He would have been very proud to see all his mates turning up and taking part in the match. “I would like to thank everyone who
attended, BAE Systems Canberra Club for the pitch and club facilities, Johnson Matthey for sponsoring the football kits, staff at the Judge Walmesley pub and Joe Longton for refereeing the game.” Mrs Carney went on to express grat
itude to her family for their support, especially her eldest son, James, for helping and being around her during this “horrendous” time in her .life.

his Mfe, Theresa, and their two teenage sons, is responsible for the provision of community health services for nearly 400,000 people in the boroughs of Ribble Valley, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Rossendale. He was bom and brought up in Hasling-

has been providing local community health premises that he describes as “fit
for the 21st Century and no more than local people deserve”. This includes Rib ble Valley’s recent £lm. revamp of Clitheroe Health Centre and plans for a new, purpose-built community hospital on the site of the existing premises. Mr Peat added: “I should like to pay
tribute to my wife, family and parents for their support. Without them this would not have happened.”
Family reunion for cycle man
A SECOND Ribble Valley man visited Buckingham Palace to collect his OBE from the Queen. Mr Brian Cookson, of Billington,
received special dispensation from the Palace so his wife and all three of his children could be there to see him hon-. oured for his work as president of British Cycling. In his 11 years in the saddle to date,
Mr Cookson has guided the organisa tion out of internal crisis to continued success. He planned to take his wife, Sian, to
the ceremony, but faced a dilemma over the remaining two passes. ■ . “In the end I just rang them up and

since stabilised and grown, and now actively campaigns to encourage people to take up the sport. After 20 years of competitive racing,
Mr Cookson took up organising and running events, which paved the way to his involvement at national level. He is still involved in the Cycling
Club of Lancashire, and he played important roles in setting up events such as the Clitheroe and Colne Grand Prix, the Pendle Pedal and Pendle Cycling Festival.
