Good neighbours can assist new social services team


A SPECIALLY - FORMED social services team, eventually to be based in Clitheroe, is now looking after the needs of people living in the new Ribble


Valley area. The team of a dozen


social workers took over its duties at the beginning of the year. But for the time being at any rate. local people who need the help of the social services still have to contact the depart- merit’s offices in Eagle Street, Accrington, the local headquarters of the services


for many years. Present attempts to open


offices in Clitheroe have nm into problems at planning level _ the Town Councils


in Church Street, for offices.

Club.


Kenyon had to reorganise his work for six weeks to visit his wife in a Blackburn hospital. When he ap­ proached his bus home on this occasion the conductor shut the doors and would not open them even though Kenyon chased the bus along the Boulevard, bang­ ing on the door. Kenyon caught up the bus
