School pupil — who has already tackled more ventures in his life than you or I would in several — has sunk thousands of pounds into setting up a breathtaking collection of rare birds and animals at his Pages Farm, Slaidburn, only to have a request for planning permission to turn it into an open farm for the public turned


down. It is his fifth application to have failed in the


Ribble Valley in an expensive round of failed ven­ tures, including, in Clitheroe, the J. R. Snooker Hall and the purchase of the Hillards building. But instead of growing philosophical in his defeats, Bob has come out of his corner fighting. “They’re fighting the wrong person this time,”


said Bob, who told me he is taking legal advice, “because I won’t be downtrodden again. I’m ready for battle.” His application was turned down because the


access road from Slaidburn was “too narrow with no passing places” and because the council said he had not provided enough information. Bob argued back: “A former Ribble Valley plan-. ning officer prepared my application, which was

It’s the idea of head of

small groups, so that each “volunteer” would only be talking to one or two pupils. It is hoped that the


true-to-life lesson will be on a Tuesday afternoon within the next couple of w e e k s , so a n y b o d y interested should ring Ribblesdale School (Clith­ eroe 22563) and leave details for Mr Pickup to contact them.

But because the talk is am

took office a fortnight ago, Keith has been keen to talk to as many people as he can, for he is a stranger to the Ribble Valley and wants to understand the area through as many dif­ ferent local people’s eyes as he can. He has already started

while his house at Earby is b e in g made r ead y is already helping him to gather impressions of the valley, he says, but he welcomes discussions with anybody — especially over the issue of car parking, which is the first local hot potato he is handling for the council. His brief is to investi­


gate the issue-thoroughly and to record arguments for and a g a in s t paid parking. His lack of knowledge of


the Ribble Valley is not a hindrance, he feels, for he is hoping to bring fresh ideas to the job. He has had plenty of managerial experience which should stand him in good stead. For the last three years

IT is a case of like father, like son, for the newly- formed Ribble Valley Young Conservatives. For acting chairman


Andrew Moore, a 17-year- old Clitheroe Royal Gram­ mar School pupil, follows in the footsteps of Clith­ eroe plumber Mr Peter Moore, who was himself chairman of the local Young Conservatives back in the 1950s and ’60s. They both share an


interest in railways, but do have some political differences. Andrew is the third


generation of the family to be involved with the party, for his grandfather, Syd, was involved with the C on se rv a t iv e s in Clitheroe, se rv in g as alderman and mayor, and today lives opposite the Conservative Association offices in Railway View. . But it will not be all


stuffy politics for the new group. “We are drawing up a


calendar of social, as well as political, events and hope to have a lively time,” Andrew added. Nor do they see the Young Conservatives as a


• g r o u p fo r a s p ir in g Yuppies. “We want to draw


youngsters from all back­ grounds,” Andrew added.

only for outline permission and contained all the relevant information. When are councillors going, to read up on what is needed for permission if it is only outline? “As for the road having no passing places, there


are actually seven. It is used every day by milk tankers, an agricultural contractor with large machines, cow trailers and the school bus and wc have had 37 coaches to visit the farm, as well as coaches from the village pub turning round in my gateway. . . so why single me out?” Meanwhile, Bob says that farm visits will con­


tinue and that the council cannot stop him running his business, because Pages is a registered farm. Nearly 50 people visited on Sunday and courses on falconry are gaining in popularity, too. A phone call to the NFU brought him the advice to carry on as normal. Bob bought his farm in January to breed rare


birds and animals for centres all over Britain and already has the largest private collection of owls and falcons in Lancashire and Yorkshire, giv­ ing displays with the owls, kestrels and hawks throughout the North. He gets great supports from his wife Diane, a


celebrity in her own right when, as Diane Holgate, of Chatburri, she appeared as Hayley Mills’ sister Nan in “Whistle down the Wind.” The couple have two daughters, Glaire (2) and


Charlotte, a lively four-year-old already flying her own kestrel, “Nipper,” (and yes, he docs!) Bob said: “The family’s life is at Pages. If the


council wants me out, they will have to take me in chains.”
