Charged with threat to kill ill V 1' The final frontier as Mayor and friends step out lH
Friends and supportersjoined Coun. Michael Ranson and his wife Janette on the last of their boundary walks as May or and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley. They set off from Spring Wood picnic site, Whalley, for a five-mile walk to conclude the series of 20 walks that have covered the go-mile boundary of the Ribble Valley. The walks have been sponsored, and have contributed to the mayoress’s charity fund, which has raised about £12,500 during their year of office for Ribble Valley Cross roads Care and Ribble Valley Homestart. The idea of the walks was inspired by the ancient tradition of “beating the bounds”
Coun. Ranson said: “My predecessor as Mayorjumped out of apian at 10,000 feet for charity, but I wasn’t up for some thing like that. I enjoy walking, and the Ribble Valley is the best place to walk.” The walks were devised by Ribble Valley Borough Council’s health development officer, Barrie Williams, and began last June “Some people have joined us for one walk, andsomefor two or three. The Mayor’s Secretary, Olwen Heap, has been on every walk, and my wife only missed one with a bad back. “We’ve only had rain on two of our walks, but we just car ried on and got wet. It’s been great fun.”
Aaron Ronald Hunt (26), of Harwood Street, Darwen, was sent to Preston Crown Court to stand trial when he appeared before Blackburn magistrates and pleaded not guilty to as saulting Ebony Bentham causing her actual bodily harm and making a threat to kill her. Hunt was granted on condition that he does not enter Billington where Miss Bentham lives, but prosecutor Catherine Allan lodged an appeal against the decision and Hunt will remain in custody until the appeal is heard by ajudge.
Wake up don't fake up!
Police are warning residents in Clitheroe to avoid buying counterfeit goods online. A police spokesman said: “Fake electrical beauty goods, such as hair straighteners can overheat and catch fire, potentially burning hair, skin and scalp as well as putting your home and life at risk. Fake beauty products have been known to contain dangerous levels of arsenic and mercury. By purchasing fake goods online you are also running the risk of your financial and personal details being used for other fraudulent scams, as well as exposing your computer to viruses.”
