One of the county's best known and busiest livestock auctions has been fined after 23 lame sheep were prevent­ ed from going through the


salering. Gisburn Auction Marts Lim­ ited and auctioneer, Jonath­ an Turner, pleaded guilty to offences of permitting unfit sheep to be exposed for sale, when they appeared at Black­ burn Magistrates Court on


Monday.. . During a previous hearing


the court had been told that a trading standards officer was on duty at the auction when he noticed “the distinct smell of foot rot" in the area around the sale pens. In all, 23 sheep were identified as ranging be­

tween moderately lame and non-weight-bearing, out of a consignment of 200 animals that had been delivered to the


auction the evening before. A vet was called to attend to the animals and reported foot rot and scald lesions, some con­ taining maggot infestation. The court heardthe ani­


mals had come from a farm near Formby, on Merseyside. Prosecuting for Lanca­


shire County Council, Nick McNamara said that Turner had sorted the consignment into lots, but had failed to no-


' tice that some animals were


lame. He said that the auction mart should havehad a system in place to prevent what hap­ pened or else procedures had not been followed. Basil Dearing, solicitor, said that Gisburn Auction


Marts and Turner were dis­ appointed to find themselves in court and would look to


learn lessons from what had happened. He accepted that the company procedures had fallen down and that the auc­ tion had been trying to do too much in too little time. Sentencing both defend­


ants for offences against the Animal Health Act 1981, Dis­ trict Judge, James Clarke, said it was a fundamental require­ ment to protect the welfare of animals at market. Fines and costs totalling £1,765 were or­ dered to be paid by the com­ pany and £1,352 by Turner. Thefarmer, Peter Wilkinson, had previously been ordered to pay £1,235. County Coun. Azhar Ali,


Lancashire County Council cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “We take animal welfare very seriously and will take any action nec­ essary to ensure the high­ est standards of treatment throughout Lancashire."

Mew housing bring jobs boom


Around 400 jobs will be cre­


ated when a new housing development is built in Clit­


heroe. The jobs boost will come


when Story Homes builds 13 0 new p ro p e r t ie s in HenthornRoad. / The development is ex­ pected to help create the


jobs directly and indirectly through the use of local sub­ contractors and the supply


chain. Around 40 of the pro­


posed properties will meet Ribble Valley Council’s ob­

board feedback from the local community and their comments were used to help shape our final design sub­


missions.” Theschemewas given the


go ahead initially two years ago and since then final de­ tails have been thrashed out between the developer and those interested in the


scheme. The developer believes


the homes will be sought after since the Ribble Val­ ley came second in the list of happiest places to live in a recent survey by the Office of National Statistics. Martin added: “It’s no


surprise the Ribble Valley scored so highly in the ONS report, it is a beautiful area of the country.” Story Homes will al­


so make fin an c ia l con­ tributions towards local education and a package of improvements to footpaths, cycle paths and highways will be tied into a travel plan for


the area. The developer also agreed


to incorporate bungalows in­ to the scheme to improve the


visual appearance of the site and create a “central green” area as a public open space with landscaping and hedge­ row planting.
