opened its doors on Sunday afternoon to some 500 visi tors who had travelled from as far afield as Lytham St Annes to support the fund raiser. And organiser Jane Dick
inson was delighted with the total raised on the day which so far stands at £7,314 - and hopes are high that the final figure will be even more. An auction of promises
raised over half the sum as on the day people added anoth er 10 lots to the 30 previously pledged. The kitchen ran out of food and the cake stall also proved to be a sellout, raising £500. A raffle and tombola also added to the total. Jane's husband Ian Dickin
son, who is the local bobby, said: "She was delighted with the way the event went and would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped with the organisation, who
helped on the day and those who donated food, promises or contributed and supported with their money on the day and to all those who attended the event. "Some of the donations we
had were great, Warburtons donated 300 teacakes and we had other donations from small and big busine^es and people who were turning up at our door with donations of bacon,’ buns and butter. "It is good to see events hke
this that bring the communi ty together and show the community spirit th a t is about." Our pictures show: Bottom

Plans on crime
praised by MP
BOLD hew plans to tackle crime and restore confidence in Britain’s “broken” criminal justice system have been strongly endorsed by Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans. The plans are set out in the Conser
vatives’ draft election manifesto. I t promises that a Conservative Govern ment would:
• Give citizens greater protection if
they have to defend themselves against intruders in their homes. Or if they stop a crime being committed in the street.
fuelled anti-social behaviour and stop supermarkets selling alcohol at below cost-price, which is destroying law- abiding local pubs and fuelling low- level crime. • Publish detailed street-by-street
across the country, and give all exist ing rape crisis centres stable, long term funding. • Grant new powers to fight booze-
• Create 15 new rape crisis centres
crime statistics online every month, in an open and standardised format, so people know the real level of crime in their neighbourhood. • Make it clear that anyone caught
carrsring a knife in a public place can expect to be prosecuted and sent to prison. Commenting on the plans, Mr
Evans said: “Labour have launched endless initiatives and top-down schemes which have made little differ ence. Their broken promises have undermined people’s trust. 'We can’t go on with the police filling in forms instead of fighting crime. “Our hard-working local police offi
cers deserve the highest praise. But many people across the Ribble Valley and Lancashire are hugely frustrated with our criminal justice system. They feel that it’s just not on their side any more. “These major Conservative propos
als will help put the law back on the side of local people in the Ribble Val ley and give our police the full support they so richly deserve.”
