' ^ A CAMPAIGN has been launched to raise


awareness of new birth choices for women in East Lancashire. Blackburn Birth Centre, the first midwife-led birth


marks the beginning of a revolutionary chanse for maternit}' in the area.


In November, a £32m. Lancashire


Women and Newborn Centre will open on the Burnley General Hospital site, incorporating another midwife-led birth centre as well as a brand-new consultant- led maternity unit specialising in complex jjirths. From November, women will no longer have their babies at Royal Black-- burn Hospital.

of Midwifery Sheena Byrom said: We already have a lot of women booked

the most suitable options for their indi­ vidual needs. ■ We are really confident that pregnant women know what is available to them,

www.clltheroeadvertiser.co.ul< Village fund-raiser saves team Call for smoking ban review Clitheroe Advertiser &Tlmes,Thursday, September 9,2010


EURO MP Paul Nuttall is writing to every North West MP urging them to support a call for the smoking ban in pubs and clubs to be reviewed. A parliamentary Early Day


Motion put forward by Brian Binley, MP, is asking for this review and UK Independence Party MEP Mr Nuttall, whose North West constituency in­ cludes Ribble Valley, wants every Member of Parliament to support it. “This Motion is an excel­


lent move and long overdue. You only have to consider the thousands of public houses


that have closed since the ban was introduced to see why it is needed,” said Mr Nuttall. The proposal calls for the


Government “to conduct a thorough review, supported by consultation with all parties and affected business sectors, on the impact the smoking ban has had on public houses and private members clubs”. “Mr Binley suggests the leg­


islation should be amended by allowing segregated smoking areas inside such premises,” said Mr Nuttall. “That is the policy that UKIP has advocat­ ed ever since the ban came in.”

RESIDENTS turned out in force for a fund-raising extravaganza in aid of a vil­ lage football team, which has been saved from the brink of collapse. Officials at Sabden FC said


around £1,100 was raised from a charity football match, duck race, barbecue and party en­ suring the club can continue to


run for another year. Sabdeh Veterans beat the


current team 4 - 3 in the match held at Sabden FC’s ground. Following the game 1,000 plas­ tic ducks were released into the brook and both adults and children were kept entertained throughout the afternoon and evening with a disco and kara­ oke at the White Hart pub. Club chairman Mr Alan Bir-

kett said: “It was a case of use it or lose it and we got it going again.


“It is a well-established club


with all its own facilities. But at one point we had no players, no manager and no money. There was about four of us on the committee and we said why do we keep meeting when no one’s interested. But we’ve regenerated interest in the


village and people have ral­ lied round. I have never seen so many people at a duck race and they were coming from outside the village. “I would say a big thank you


to all the committee members and team members who helped make the day. It involved a lot of hard work and you can’t put a price on that.”
