Darren fights his way back to health


A BILLINGTON family who were told their son could be left “a vegetable” after a horror car crash last month are hoping for a 100 per cent recovery because of the amazing progress


he is making. Darren Helm (IS), of


Longwortli Road, was home on leave from the RAF and travelling in a car with friends when the accident occurred. His injuries were so bad that it was some time before he c o u 1d b e p r o p e r Iy assessed.

Brockhall deal is set to yield firm millions


A NEWCASTLE property company which bought the freehold on some staff houses and wards at Brockhall Hospital several years ago is all set to make millions of pounds when the hospital closes its doors . . . and could force 74 families in semi-detached staff houses to


leave their homes. At the same time comes


the news that part of Brockhall’s sister hospital, Calderstoncs, in Whalley, could be sold off before that too closes in the year 2.001).


Brockhall Hospital gen­


eral manager Mr Jim Abbott and regional prop­ erty services manager Mr Richard Strickland visited


the Newcastle company in an attempt to persuade it to sell back the freehold at Brockhall, Langho, so that the families could stay if they wished. However, said Mr Tony


Jones, the deputy general manager of Calderstoncs and Brockhall Mental Health Unit: ‘ ‘ It soon became evident the firm was not prepared to sell.


AN attack on discussions ‘‘behind closed doors” was levelled on Ribble Valley councillors when lliey met for their council meeting. Cou nty Coun. Ron


Secret debate at council under fire


Pickup said it was totally wrong that items affecting local residents should be debated in secret without any consultation between the council and the people. He was referring to an


item on the agenda of the I’ublic Works and Health Committee which was dis­ cussed in part two of the


committee's meeting, after the public and press had


been excluded. R e fe r red to in the


minutes as “Development in Clitheroe," Coun. Bar­


rie Barker said the first many residents knew of the council's intention was on reading a recent copy of the "A d v e r t is e r and Times." The article revealed


that land owned by Stal­ wart Dyeing Company, at Primrose Lodge, is being considered for redevelop­ ment. It was claimed that councillors are considering the re-location t;f the coun­ cil's depot from the Kirk- moor site and redevelop­ ment of the lodge with houses. "Woone Lane residents


have cause for concern." said Comity Coun. Pickup. "'file council has not had


the grace to bring this development to the notice of residents of that ward. Residents of St .ladies's ward should be displeased. It will mean putting traffic


back into tin urea on roads which are unsuitable.


“This is not where we


ought to be placing the K i r k in o o r d e p o t replacement."


County Coun. I’ickup's


remarks were endorsed by Conns Barrie Barker, Bert Jones and James McGhie.


We have contacted it in that attempt several times.” The freehold, snapped


up for a pittance when it was not known that Brockhall would close, is covered by an old cove­ nant which means some wards and houses have to be handed to the company its soon as Brockhall closes in two years' time. The c o mp a ny c o u1d the n demand vacant possession and sell for millions of pounds. Staff at the hospital


have been whittled down and rehoused all over the North West, with some m o v in g t o w o r k a t Calderstoncs. However, already the


Regional Health Authority has started a “ trawl” to find out what interest will be registered in buying Calderstoncs. Said Mr .Jones: “ The


hospital has a 10-year life left, so there may not be too much interest yet. However, it has two good points of access, so there is always the possibility of selling off parts of it from one end as the hospital winds down.”


Business problems led driver to court


A FINANCIAL adviser who had been suf­ fering business problems could not afford to have work done on his car, Clitheroe magis­ trates heard.


Before the court was


Robert Gregson (-1!)), of Kirkstall Avenue, Simon- stone, who pleaded not guilty to using a car with­ out an excise licence, to using a car with defective brakes and to using a car with dangerous parts. PC Lawrence Briercliff


told the court he had been on mobile road duty in Campbell Street, Read, when he saw Gregson driving in the opposite direction in a car with no tax disc. When he examined the


car he found the hand­ brake was so poor that it had no retarding effect at all and there were jagged


bits of metal on the boot- lid and a wheel-arch. Gregson told the court


that the car's engine had blown, but he could not garage the car because his driveway was too steep. Also, he could not afford to repair the car because o f business problems, although a local garage man was repairing it in return for free financial advice. Gregson was fined £70


for having no ex c is e licence, £-11) for the defec­ tive brakes and £20 for using a car with dangerous parts. He was also told to pay £7;j back duty and £05 towards prosecution costs.


FELL —


GREENWOOD When a mobile hairdresser was married at St Helen's Church, Waddington, she travelled to the wedding in style — in a silver-grey Cadillac. Miss Catherine Eliza­


beth Greenwood, the twin daughter of Mr and Mrs A. S. Greenwood, of East- field Drive, West Brad­ ford, married Mr Richard Adrian Fell, a ca lt l dealer and the only son of Mr and Mrs T. L. Fell, of Settle. The bride, given away


by her father, wore a Cin- derella-style ivory gown of raw silk trimmed with antique ivory lace, pink bows and roses, with puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice and a full-length train trimmed with lace and pink bows. She car­ ried a bouquet of Casab­ lanca orchids, lilies, pink and cream rosebuds, with t r a i l i n g i v y a n d eucalyptus. Chief bridesmaid was


the bride’s twin sister, Karen. Other attendants


uvere the bride’s sister, J a n e , a n d t h e b r i d e groom’s sisters, Alison and Rachael. They wore ballerina


style dresses of blush pink raw silk trimmed with pastel roses and featuring scoop backs with bows. Their headdresses were circlets of fresh Rowers including pink and white carnations, freesias and lilac gypsophila, and they carried matching tied bunches of fresh flowers. B e s t m a n w a s M r


Andrew Knights, grooms men were Mr Andrew Pearson and Mr Jason Exell and ushers were Mr Gary Swindlehurst, Mr Andrew Sharp, Mr Gareth Evans and Mr Jon Lister. The ceremony was per­


formed by the Rev. Alan Bailey, and the organist was Mr D. Hartley. After a reception at The


Stirk House Hotel, Gis­ burn, the couple left for a honeymoon on the Costa del Sol. Their future home will be in Settle.
