BURNLEY BC BUSINESS REPLY SERVICE Licence No NW W 359A Environment Agency Appleton House 430 Birchwood Boulevard Birchwood WARRINGTON Cheshire WA3 7AA Foreword Welcome to our latest Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) Consultation Report for the Croal/lrwell area. Our aim is to produce a local agenda of action for.environmental improvement which addresses issues which we are unable to solve through our day to day work. We have attempted to draw together the issues which we believe need tackling to improve your local environment. As the LEAP provides the focus for actions by the Agency, it is important that the issues we have raised relate to our key responsibilities for the regulation of waste, releases to air from some industrial processes and protecting and improving the water environment. However, where issues are raised which do not relate directly to our responsibilities, we hope to influence others to plan and act in ways that support our Environmental Strategy for the Millennium and Beyond. In order for the LEAP to be effective we need to know your views. We would like to know what you think of the issues raised, whether you would like other environmental issues to be added, and whether you can work together with us to achieve environmental improvements.

As I write this article, the bakery chain Greggs has had to apologise for inadvertently causing offence by replacing Jesus with a sausage roll in the Nativity scene. The phrase “There’s no such thing as bad publicity” comes to mind…….. A few years ago a billboard poster proclaimed “CHISMAS - Christmas isn’t Christmas without the RT” – a none too subtle advert for the Radio Times.
