Social workers’ night-duty ban


EMERGENCY cases of child battering and care for the elderly will still receive attention in the Ribble Valley, despite a decision by social workers to impose a county-wide ban on night arid weekend .working.


Pillar-box


demolished in crash


IRONMONGERY DEPARTMENT


A CLITHEROE youth underwent an emergency operation on a lacerated eyelid after the car he and a friend were travelling in. crashed into a pillar-box.


JosephLanfranceschina (18), of Beechwood Avenue, was said to be “fairly comfort­ able” at Accrington Victoria Hospital.

He was a passenger in a

an agreement whereby agencies such as the police, NSPCC and the National Health Service could receive advice from 'a group of volunteers,” Mr Leyboume told our reporter. This would involve cases

A Post Office spokesman


said a new box would cost about £215.


Accidents


FIFTEEN people — four of them children — were severely injured in road accidents in the Ribble Valley during August and September last year.


This was revealed in a


report to the Ribble Valley Council’s Public Works ana Health Committee.


There were 34 road acci­


dents during the period — 13 of them in 30 m.p.h. zones. The accidents invol­ ved 33 cars, five commercial vehicles, 14 motor cycles, nine pedal cycles, and a horse. Eight of the accidents happened during darkness.


drew their night weekend service on January 1st, but the action was made official after a ballot of employees in the county’s Social Services Department. According to a union spokesman at Preston, the


social workers want a permanent stand-by team to deal with night duty work. “The position before


January 1st was that a social worker would complete his or her day’s work and then could be brought out at night to cover any part of Lanca­ shire,” he said. “They had to be back in


the office next morning as usual and for this they were paid £4.15. It is not the extra money we want, but extra staff to carry out the stand­ by work.” Senior social services offi­


cials who have been helping to maintain a skeleton standby service have also- been asked by the union to support their colleagues and only do their normal duties.


No licence


A FINE of £10 was imposed by Clitheroe magistrates on Brian Procter (35), of Top Row, Sabden, for driving a pickup in Preston Road, Longridge, without an excise licence. He was also fined £10 for having no offside wing mirror.


UP TO DATE


RESIDENTS of Little Mitton, in the parish of Whalley, will soon be able to keep right up to date with the parish council’s deci­ sions. For a new notice board will shortly adorn one of the walls of the Aspinall Anns — at a cost of 50p per year. The rent has been fixed by arrangement with Whitbreads brewery, which owns the pub.


No pamphlet


WHALLEY Parish Council has abandoned its plans to publish a “Walkabout” pamphlet, so as not to compete with one which has been available in the village for some years. The latest pamphlet — written by Coun. Jimmy Fell — was intended as a guide to tour­ ists.

SCHOOL BUSES BEATEN BY THE SNOW


SOME Slaidbum children had an unexpected day off school last Thursday, when snow-covered roads out of the village prevented their school buses from leaving. The buses departed from


opposite ends of the village to pick up children and even- tu a l ly hoped to reach Clitheroe. But one of them had to


negotiate a sharp bend in the road just after the bridge over the River Hodder.


However, the school
