Quick in defence o f parents’ right to free choice


‘f k


SIMONSTONE parents must be given the greatest possible freedom of | choice when it comes to deciding on schools for their children, Coun. Bill Bowker (Chipping) told members of the Ribble Valley Councils Policy and Resources Committee.


He was commenting on education admiminstration


in the village, now that it was part of Ribble Val­ ley borough, and said he felt very strongly about the arrogant tone of some education officials. From September, the


village primary school and all education administra­ tion is expected to pass to Hyndbum and Ribble Val­ ley Education offices in Accrington and Clitheroe. Di s t r i c t Educat i on


Officer Mr Peter Evans wrote that if pupils aged 11 plus were given the right to compete for gram­ mar school places in Clith­ eroe, they must accept the


consequences and become


part of the Ribble Valley secondary educat ion


system. It was not the intention


that they should have the chance of taking the 11 plus exam and then opting for a Burnley comprehen­ sive school if unsuccessful. Coun. Bowker felt this


was wrong and wanted to know why there was no parental option for chil­ dren going to comprehen­ sive schools in Burnley if they chose. He said: “I feel very


ents must always comej first and the choice ofi secondary education in either Burnley or Ribble Valley is their natural right. “We must stand up and


fight over this, because schools are for the pupils and not for the benefit of the bureaucrats.” The tone of the letter


Mr Philip Bailey said there had been a great upsurge in planning appeals, with 40 heard in 1986, com­ pared with eight in 1980. Planning applications had risen from 660 in 1982 to an estimated 850 in 1987. Coun. Mrs Joyce Lil-

A ‘silver’ reunion


.


I MORE than 300 members l andfriendsofthe Guiding movement from various parts of Britain converged on Waddow Hall — the Guider Training Centre — for a special reunion. The celebrations were


held on Saturday to mark the 25th anniversary of| th e f o undi ng of the Friends of Waddow Hall. Guider-in-charge Mar­


burn (Bolton-by-Bowland) said that while there had been complaints from the public about lack of action in the planning depart­ ment, it had been compli­ mented for other aspects of its work.

garet Firth said: “The ' anniversary coincides with the centre’s own diamond jubilee year, so it has come at a very busy time.” Pride of place at the


reunion was reserved for two founder members — Enid Warrington (91) and Anne S treet (92). The guest speaker was Irene Arstall, of Redcar, Cleve­ land, former secretary at the hall. Lunch was served in a
