Hundreds of new nests have been created in the RibbleVal­ ley to house Swifts returning to the UK to breed. The RSPB and Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council have


joined forces to provide 200 purpose-built holes in the sides of homes for the birds. With their long scythe­


shaped wings, Swifts havejust - arrived back, having spent the winter eating insects in the central African rainforests. Swifts in the UK are almost totally dependent on holes in old buildings to raise their chicks, but these days are Slid­ ing it increasingly hard to find a place to nest.

Drink-drive message for World Cup fans


A World Cup-themed safe­ ty campaign will be in the centre of Clitheroe tomor­ row evening to warn people. against drink-driving during the soccer festival.


The give-away of informa­


tion and World Cup goodies, by Lancashire Constabulary and the county’s Fire and Rescue Service, is part of a wider campaign called “Ugly Consequences of the Beauti­ ful Game,” backed by Lanca­ shire’s top soccer clubs. The road safety event


will be in Castle Street, Clit­ heroe, from 7 to g pm and at Longridge Field Day the fol­


lowing day from 1 to 4 pm. The county’s campaign is


also targeting alcohol-fuelled violence, domestic abuse, ar­ son and cooking fires. During the 2010 World


Cup, when England were knocked out, domestic abuse incidents rose by around 25 per cent and North West Am­ bulance Service recorded a 34% increase in the number ofassaults. The Fire Service added that


people who had been drink­ ing tended to forget about food cooking or failed to put


out cigarettes, causing fires in the home.

/■ Simple step helps


to conserve Swifts Council is leading the way in helping to protect and boost Britain's declining Swift numbers


by Duncan Smith duncan.smith1@jpress.co.uk Twitter: @c!ithadvertiser


Property renovations, and


the demolition of older build­ ings, means many oftheir tra­ ditional nest sites in cavities below eaves, or behind fascia boards, have been blocked up, or destroyed. New build­ ings tend to be airtight, with few nesting spaces for Swifts, resulting in their number de­ clining in the UK. The council introduced a


new planning condition for new houses 18 months ago re­ quiring them to make provi­ sions for wildlife that depend on buildings, such as Swifts and bats.


RSPB conservation adviser Gavin Thomas said: “Nature


is in real trouble from various threats, including the rush to build new houses, but these planning conditions have


proved an easy way to enhance our urban environment for wildlife.


“I would encourage every


council to follow Ribble Val­ ley’s lead.” Swift boxes have also been


fixed to the outside of the council offices and Ribble Val­ ley Homes Housing Associa­ tion properties. David Hewitt, countryside


officer for Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council, said: “All coun­ cils have a responsibility to conserve wildlife. “It is such a simple meas­


ure to incorporate ‘swift bricks’ into new builds, yet it is one which will help ensure these fantastic birds still have places to nest and continue to grace Ribble Valley’s skies for years to come.”


Under-12scaptainFinlay Wade,also from Whalley Juniors, lifts the trophy as theELFAsquad celebrate victory and (inset) th eir proud manager Barry Gregson with the Bolton Cup. (s)


Whalley Juniors defender Matt Stephenson turned strik­ er to slot in two sensational goals and seal victory for the East Lancashire Football Alli­ ance’s Under-i2s squad in the Bolton Cup. The ELFA squads are made


up of the most promising young players selected from local sides across East Lancs and the victorious under-i2s team includes several players from Ribble Valley clubs. Only resurrected this year,


the ELFA squads have gelled and played extremely well in various agegroups, particular­ ly the under-i2s under their


managerBarryGregson. Heis the regular coach of Whalley Juniors Ui2’s and was selected


. by the other league U-12 man­ agers to choose and manage the ELFA team in the Bolton Gup tournament. In the first round the lads


enjoyed a one-sided 5-0 victo­ ry over Ayr Boswell Colts, but then faced a tougher fight to beat Welsh side Borras Park Rangers 2-1. Nerves were fraught when the semi-final went to penalties after a hard- fought 1-1-draw against North­ ern Ireland side Dungannon, the East Lancs squad emerg­ ing 4-3 winners.


That put them in the final


against Hoylake, played at Bolton Wanderers’ impres­ sive Reebok Stadium, where Whalley’s Matt Stephenson scored both goals to'secure their 2-0 victory. “Matt’s a defender, so he


proved he has a good eye for a goal too,” said delighted man­ ager Barry. “It was an amazing experience for the lads to play on the pitch at the Reebok and . use all the facilities.” The ELFA under-ios also


reached their final, but were beaten 2-0 by the Brazilian Soccer School, while the un- der-i4s lost 4-2 in the semis.

Swarovski Wave Bracelet with Matching Earrings Stunning duo with Swarovski elements


Group is on


Progress is being made on drawing up a “Neighbourhood Plan” for the two Wards of Bol- ton-by-Bowland and Gisburn Forest (Tosside). Ribble Valley Borough


Council’s planning and devel- opmept committee has en­ dorsed Bolton-by-Bowland, Gisburn Forest and Sawley Parish Council-as the ap-' propriate' body to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan (al­ though Sawley ward opted put of the venture and is not' included in the plan). Work has already started


on preparing the Neighbor­ hood Plan, including exten­ sive consultation with local residents. A series of work: shops was held in April and


May to establish what people. wanted to see included in the


- plan. Response has been pos­ itive, and constructive, cov­ ering a wide range of topics including housing, employ­ ment, tourism, roads and transport, community facili­ ties and services, and environ-


: mental issues. . The next step is to put to-


•gether a Draft Plan drawing on these issues. Further con­ sultation events will then be arranged during the summer. The work has so far been un­ dertaken by local volunteers, . but the'Steering Group are now appointing Kirkwells ~ Planning Consultants to pro-. vide support and advice in compiling the plan.


ress Kirkwells are. based in


: Burnley and have relevant experience in helping com-


- munitiesinotherpa’rtsofthe country to prepare Neigh­


bourhood Plans. A govern­ ment grant has been awarded to meet the consultancy fees and other costs. Steering Group Chairman


Allan Clements commented: “This is an exciting project which allows local people' to have a mqjor say in shap­ ing their community for the future. There is a lot of work to do, but formal approval of our designated area and the award of the grant are impor­ tant steps, and we are very, pleased witli how things are going so far.” ■ .
