FIVE YEARS AGO: Campaigners' anger
CEMFUEL campaigners slammed the latest rounds of pollution tests in the Ribble Valley as "utter rubbish".

Castle Cement claimed that tests carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on local milk supplies had given Cemfuel a clean bill of health with no evidence of increase in dioxins, heavy metals or arsenic.

But Residents Against Toxic Substances protesters claimed that Castle's interpretation of the results was wrong.
