Here is a superb shot ofWhal- ley Arches, and one that you won’t see every day! It was taken and sent in to


us by local photography stu­ dent Phil Dewhurst, originally from Clitheroe, now living in Great Harwood and studying at Blackburn College. Not too long ago, to get a


shot like this the photogra­ pher would have to take to the skies in a light aircraft, helicopter or even a balloon, but technology is changing all that. Now photographers are using remote controlled flying “drones" with their cameras attached to capture fabulous aerial views, both still photos and quality video footage. Phil explained: “I took this


shot from Whalley Nab us­ ing my quadcopter/drone. I wanted to get all of the via­ duct in the shot so I went up the Nab and flew the quadcop- ter around 8o feet in the air.” W ire le ss te chnology


means the photographer on the ground can see the view from the airborne camera, and while the equipment is still quite expensive, it’s a lot cheaper than a helicopter! But there are regulations


about where drones can be flown and what they can be used for,so if you fancy hav­ ing ago, doyour research first.

Labour-controlled Lanca­ shire County Council has in­ troduced a charge of £3.50 per bag to dump inert waste at their recycling centres throughout Lancashire, which will result in fly tip­ ping all over the county says Ken Hind, Longridge Con­ servative co-ordinator and Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil candidate. “This policy is a ridiculous


nonsense," said Mr Hind. “It covers items such tiles,


bricks, wash hand basins and a wide range of things result­ ing from DIY work carried out by householders. It is the sort of recycling we should be encouraging, not deterring it with charges. “The cost of clearing up


the fly tipping will be great­ er than the return that it will


bring to Lancashire County Council; Voters who have been warned about the intro­ duction of these charges have reacted to us on thedoorstep and the proposal should be suspended until such time as local authorities in Lan­ cashire can express a view. It will effect the countryside more than anywhere else." Mr Hind added: “We are


suffering in Lancashire from a surfeit of fly-tipping and this will lead to more. Local authorities will have to pick up the bill, which means in­ creased council tax. “From an environmental


point of view this is a dread­ ful decision. So often I have walked down a country lane to find a pile of builder’s rub­ ble dumped by the road that has to be cleared up. These


charges are a fly tippers’ charter. . “The recycler is charged

servative Secretary of State for Communities, has made it illegal for local authorities to charge for items put in bins. This is a way to outflank these regulations.” • Ken Hind is standing


for election in the Dilworth Ward, which has two seats. Also standing are Mike Ever­ ett (Lab), Rupert Swarbrick (Con) and Kerry Swinburne (Lab).
