Ministers; SVP; HM Prison visiting etc.)obtain clearance from the Criminal Records Bureau and
maintaining the necessary records. This is a vital job in the parish and training will be given. Perhaps

Council warns
tenants they
face eviction
,BY STEPHANIE WEAVER
COUNCIL tenants caught
with drugs in their homes
could face eviction.
Since the launch of Opera-
tion Hinge earlier this month to
snare drug dealers in the
Wellingborough and Rushden
area, 33 police warrants have
been issued to search proper-
ties for evidence.
Of the 30 warrants issued in
the Wellingborough area, ten
properties were owner-occu-
pied, two were housing associa-
tion tenants and the remaining
18 were council tenants.
Spokesman for Welling-
borough Council Carol Mundy
said: "Legal action for posses-
sion has begun against council
tenants arrested and those who
allowed their homes to be used
for drug purposes.
"The council will seek
possession .of every property
where it proves involvement.
"Council tenants are legally
responsible for the actions of
anyone in their property."
Driver .spots. E
mysterious
black panther
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2Ei, 2005
AN ELUSIVE wild cat thought to be
ro~ing the countryside has reappeared.
A large black panther has been
rumoured to be living in Northampton-
shire’s fields for the last decade but
following a spate of appearances in 2004
sightings this year have been rare.
However, van driver Jason. Watson
caught a glimpse of the beastas he drove
through Pipewellqn Monday ap.30pm.
He said: "Ijust passed the village sign
and saw it leave the road.
"There was a pheasant in the road and
I think it was going to .go for it but it
heard my van and it bolted through the
hedge. I spend a lot of time in the coun-
tryside and I have never seen anything
like this."
Mr Watson, of Turner Road, Corby;
said he had always believed the panther
existed, despite the fact no one has ever
been able to prove its existence with a
photograph.
He said: "I did have my camera with
me but it moved so fast. I had thought
that it had gone away because there were
no stories about it in the ET."
Previous sightings of the mysterious
creature have described its sleek, smooth
coat, but Mr Watson said this is not the
case.
He said: "Ithas a rough
because it is living in the wild."
