“in 2010, it’s not enough just to remove a ioaded skip and wonder where ali the rubbish goes,” he says, adding: “of course, most of it used to go to landfill.

New committee joins fight against malaria


A NEW Ribble Valley commit­ tee has been set up to buy malaria nets for Sub-Saharan African children. Following the success of the


local Ethiopia Cold Chain Pro­ ject, the latest venture is also being organised in support of Unicef. Dr Sheila Bailey is chairman


of The Malaria Net Campaign, with Anne Geldard as treasurer and Anne Little, a research nurse from Manchester, also forming part of the committee. Dr Bailey said: “Statistics


show that a child under the age of five dies every 30 seconds from malaria and providing every child at risk with a malar­ ia net would be the single most effective thing that could be done to improve child survival.


For less than £5 a child can be given protection ■with a treated net and Unicef has a plan to provide such nets to every child in SSA by the end of 2010.” She added: “We are really,


excited to be supporting this project because the goal is acheivable and we know the strategy of supplying nets to large populations works. “It is exciting to think that


relevant interventions really do make a difference to people’s lives and that we, as a commu­ nity, can help to make that to happen. “We are incredibly grateful


for the support we have received from this community over the past three years in helping us raise £110,000 for the Ethiopia Cold Chain Project and hope


that same support will help us to help Unicef make malaria a rare cause of death and disabili­ ty.”


The local campaign to help


Unicef reach its target will launch with an evening of “Cocktails, clothes and croon­ ing” a t The Grand on Thurs­ day, March 25th. After a cocktail reception, a


fashion show by Seasons of King Street will follow, with the models’ hair styled by Paul Smith. Food will be provided, including desserts by Taste, of the Swan Courtyard, and the evening -will finish -with dancing to soul singer Stephen Bayliss. Tickets, which cost £30, are available from The Grand or Seasons, or by contacting Anne Geldard on 01200 424127.

Slaidbum, pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis and being drunk and disor­ derly. ' He was fined £250 and ordered to
