Commemorative oak trees to be planted in 35 Valley parishes .


An ambitious scheme to plant 35 oak trees to commemorate the 100th an­ niversary of the outbreak of the First World War began on Sunday.' The Mayor of the Ribble Valley,


Coun. Michael Ranson, planted the first of the 35 oak trees at the new war memorial in Ribchester in memory of the 1,000 local young men who lost their lives in the Great War. Ribchester’s new war memorial


was unveiled on Sunday afternoon followed by a ceremony of commem­


oration and dedication of the new war memorial on Greenside. Officials from Lancashire’s British


Legion, church representatives, fami­ lies of the fallen and civic dignitaries attended. ~


Tree plantings also took place at


Clitheroe Castle gate on Monday, Sab- den, Pendleton, Worston and Chat- burn on Tuesday as well as Whalley, Billington, Langho and Dinckley, to­ day (Thursday).

’ Former Manchester United manager David Moyes


No further action will be taken over ah allegation that former Manchester United boss Dav­ id Moyes assaulted a local man outside a Clitheroe wine bar earlier this year. The story made national


front page headlines and TV news schedules after it was broken on the Clitheroe Ad­ vertiser and Times website on May 22nd.

Homes will worsen air quality says professor


By FaizaAfzaal faiza.afeaal@jpress.co.uk Twitten@clithadvertiser


Residents objecting to a con­ troversial housing develop­ ment in Clitheroe fear the scheme will add to the grow­ ing air pollution problems currently experienced by householders.


Members of the Back Com- monsResidentsGroup(BCRG) fighting a revised application for 275 houses in Waddow View, Clitheroe, claim the town already has the highest COa emissions in the country and an increase in traffic will adversely affect this.


In addition, they fear if the


development is given the go ahead, it will result in a loss of walking area and there will be a higher risk of traffic accidents. Clitheroe resident and


member of BCRG, Prof. Paul Bacon said: “The Waddow View proposal will have exactly the opposite, negative effect on health through increased air pollution. Coming on top of the large developments along Henthorn Road andLow Moor, it will bring traffic gridlock on overcrowded streets on the west of the town. The result­ ant emissions will drive up air pollution, but CO2 levels in Clitheroe are already bad. The district has one of the worst COi emissions per person in


England at 18.4 tonnes - over double the national average of 7.6 tonnes. This is exacerbat­ ed by narrow streets and steep hills. Short bursts of accelera­ tion on hills or in traffic queues that move intermittently pro­ mote release of nitric oxides. These free radicals are very destructive to tissues and a po­ tent cause of chronic obstruc­ tive airways disease.” He added: “The loss of walk­


ing areas comes at a time when a prime government objective is to promote increased daily exercise for all as a mqjor part ofthe battle against obesity, di­ abetes and heart disease. The attractive site at Waddow View ■ positively encourages all to ex­ ercise and in fact the network


of footpaths is actively used by all ages, from school children to elderly dog-walkers. It is im­ portant to retain this positive stimulus to health." Finally, Prof. Bacon is urg­


ing council officials to consider safety from traffic accidents. “The increase in traffic will be most dense at the time ofthe. schoolrun.Ithas already been pointed out that increased traf­ fic from the Waddow View ap­ plication would affect several schools and that children cut through the traffic to cross the roads to school. “It is reasonable to expect


Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil to take account of the health aspects in their revised core­ strategy,” he concluded.


statements taken, but now officers investigating the al­ legation have confirmed that no further action will be tak­ en. A spokesman for Lanca­ shire Constabulary said: “A thorough investigation has been carried out and everyone


identified as having been in­ volved in this incident or hav­ ing witnessed it have provided accounts to the police. These accounts have been consid­ ered and it has been decided that this is the most appropri­ ate course of action.” A police statement issued


after the incident said that Mr Gillibrand did not re­ quire hospital treatment and no-one was arrested, adding that: “There are a number of differing accounts which we need to work through to try to establish exactly what has happened.” It is thought that Mr Moyes


had been enjoying a meal at the nearby Piccolino’s restau­ rant before crossing the road for a drink at The Emporium. The previous month he had been sacked from his job at Manchester United only 10 months after replacing Sir Alex Ferguson as manager.
