Don’t miss out on your vote!
"WITH a General Election looming this year, Ribble Valley residents are being warned not to miss out on their chance to vote. Although the General Election has
yet to be called, Ribble Valley Borough Council’s electoral registration team is already working hard to ensure that all eligible voters can have their say on polling day.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has to call a General Election by June 2010
and is widely expected to go to the polls in May. Council canvassers have already col
lected electoral registration forms from the borough’s 30,000 homes for the 2009 Ribble Valley Register of Electors.

TV psychologist’s talk at school M: by Natalie Cox
A TREE-MENDOUS. event took place at "Waddow Hall on Saturday. Despite misty conditions, more
than 100 people gathered at the Girl Guiding venue to help plant 30 beech trees to replace a feature which dates back around 200 years. Guiding groups, counties,
regions and indmduals sponsored 26 trees on the 178-acre site, while
PEOPLE gathering for the tree planting ceremony at Waddow Hall.
the other four were dedicated to groups who have supported the estate, including offenders serving “Community Payback” sentences supervised by Lancashire Proba tion Trust, who have worked in the hall’s grounds. The trees that were planted are
about 15-years-old and standing at heights of at le ^ t four metres to create an immediate impact. As well as the tree planting,
there was a “plant and play” day which involved around 90 Brown ies, Guides and their leaders
enjoying related activities includ ing decorating flower pots. • Over the past five years, hun
dreds of offenders on Community Payback, supervised by the Proba tion Trust,' have worked in the grounds of "Waddow Hall and as a lasting reminder of their work a commemorative tree was dedicat ed to the organisation. Projects tlmt the offenders have
worked on over the past five years include:
r
campfires • Building a Japanese garden • Plastering and painting

accommodation huts •, • Assisting ■with maintenance of
