Although weather conditions marred views of the surrounding countryside, the outing was greatly enjoyed by all.

Christian camp d


APPLICATION forms are being distributed this week for a Christian camp to be held at Buck’s Farm, West Bradford, from July 18th to 20th. I t is being organised by the


owners of the farm, Mr and Mrs B. Clark, and the Rev. J Butcher, of Whalley. Last year was the first time


the camp was held, and during the weekend 40 youngsters


took part in a variety activities including Bible studies and prayer meetings This year there will be two


SHELTERED housing schemes are a boon to the elderly, the Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Fred Singleton, told pen­ sioners at the official opening of Pendle Court — the first such scheme in Clitheroe. “They provide the comfort


and companionship that many have lacked in their own homes and elderly people appear to take on a new lease of life when they come to live in sheltered accommodation,” he said. He explained the history of


Pendle Court and congratu­ la te d the old Clitheroe Borough Council which p io n e e red th e £185,000 project. Coun. Singleton thanked


the Ribble Valley Council staff for all the work that has been put into Pendle Court. He also thanked the warden, Mrs Valerie Croft, who, he said, played a very important part in the life of the building. “I am sure the scheme will


be a huge success and will give a lot of pleasure and content­ ment to many people in the years to come,” he added. Coun. Singleton was intro­

bers and Council officers later had the opportunity to tour the Pendle Court building in H a y h u r s t S tre e t , which


boasts 25 one-bedroom flats, eight two-bedroom units, a lounge and quiet area, kitchen and laundry, and warden’s accommodation. Every flat has an intercom


connected to the warden’s flat, smoke detectors, central heating, a fridge and a cooker. A lift connects the two floors and there is an emergency lighting system throughout the building.


. The scheme took just under a year to complete. The first units were handed over in December and the remainder in February. The lounge has now been


comfortably furnished with easy chairs, a record player and card tables. Clitheroe Ladies’ Circle has donated a tea trolley. Guests were served with


tea and cakes, including a special cake made for the occasion by residents Mrs Margaret Scott and Mrs Doris Yates. The niece of one of the residents, Mrs Florence Ben­ nett, iced the cake. PICTURE: Seen here cut­

OVER the past three months the Ribble Valley’s council house rent arrears have drop­ ped by more than £2,500. $ The council’s Housing Com­


mittee heard that the arrears stood at £7,192.48 at the end


of March — the first time they Priority (list I


of area’s sporting needs


A PRIORITY list of parishes needing indoor or outdoor recreation and leisure facilities is to be drawn up by the Ribble Valley Council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee. This will be the basis of a long-term policy so that swift action can be taken when circumstances permit. Requests by local sports


clubs and other organisations for financial help will have to be made to the parish council. The Ribble Valley Council will then make a contribution equal to that of the parish council, up to a limit of one-third of the approved cost of the scheme.


These suggestions, which


have been adopted along with others, are part of a com: prehensive report by the Ribble Valley management

team in which the point is stressed that clubs with an u n re s t r ic te d membership should have a preference over other types. Policy will be to give prior­


ity to village halls which are in danger of closure through lack of money to do repairs; to seek dual use of schools or other public buildings when poss­ ible, and to aid schemes receiving a County Council grant and which also need local support to enable them to bo carried out.

^ SPORTS HALL According to a report by Mr


C h a r le s Wilson, Chief A r c h i te c t and planning Officer, West Bradford and Rimington have no public open space. In other villages only the


village green is available and this is often not suitable for


ball games. In some of the smaller villages and parishes where there is no real nucleus


of population, children usually find places to play by favour


o f lo c a l f a rm e r s and landowners.


The area most lacking is the


Ramsgreave, Wiipshire, Lan- gho, Billington and Whalley belt. For a total population of 9,965 there are 34.9 acres of open space but of this some 17(5 acres of common is rather distant and cannot be devel­ oped for recreation for legal reasons. The ’’real” open space available is only 1.75 acres per 1,000 population.


Although there' are clubs


for cricket, tennis, bowls and football, the real need is for fairly simple local parks incor­ porating play areas and within safe walking distance of every- home, says Mr Wilson. Summing up, he says another swimming pool in the


valley could not he justified. The lo n g - te rm s tra teg y should be one of indoor sports facilities based on a practice- size sports hall at Longridge a n d a
