THE Ribble Valley is the tops when it comes to the Lancashire Best-Kept Vil­ lage Competition. For the area has pro­


vided 18 villages in this year’s competition, far and away the biggest number of entries by any of the 12 district council areas within the county. Preliminary judging,


which is undertaken by a dedicated group of volun­ teers, will take place between June 14th and July 12th. The final judg­ ing, which will be com­ pleted by the end of August, will be carried out by Mr Fred Downham, well-known for his contri­ butions to a radio garden­ ing programme. Concurrently with the


Best-Kept Village Compe­ tition, village schools have been invited to enter a “ village map” competition. Taking part from the Rib­ ble Valley are the children of Waddington and West Bradford CE School.
