Window opens op European success


AT a time when economists keep warning o f an impending recession, a Clitheroe firm is going from strength to strength.


The company in question, Ultra­


frame, which manufactures uPVC win­ dows and doors, has broken into the crucial .European market by securing a major deal with a French conservatory manufacturer.


The Clitheroe company, which has


just made a 11 m. invesimeut in the town, will supply its revolutionary Ultralite roofing systems to the French firm.


Managing director Mr John Lancas­


ter said that the French connection first started when their European counterparts visited the Inter-Build exhibition at Birmingham NEC. Representatives of the French com­ pany were impressed with Ultra- frame’s Ultralite free span high insula­ tion roofing systems and contacted Mr Lancaster at Clitheroe.


Nine company representatives then


travelled to the Kibble Valley and an export deal was set up and a contract signed. Although the meeting went smoothly, the firm was given an early scare when it was let down by its inter­ preter. Luckily for Ultraframe, a local girl, Jennifer Roberts, stepped in to take over and coped admirably.


The company will use the roofing


systems on its own conservatories, which are sold throughout France. Ultraframe will also he given extra


publicity this October when the French firm takes part in an exhibition in Paris.


Mr Lancaster is now looking forward


to going into the European market and, with enquiries coming from Germany, Italy and even Turkey, things are cer­ tainly moving at the Clitheroe factory. “ I never thought we would he able to


sell in Europe,” said Mr Lancaster. “ It is encouraging for the company ■

Concerned that views unheeded


PARISH councillors are concerned that their views are going unheeded when planning applications come before the Kibble Valley Council. They spelled out their


grievances at a meeting of the Parish Councils' Liai­ son Committee in the Kib­ ble Valley Council Cham­ ber on Thursday. Several said that plan­


ning applications in their areas were often approved when parish councils objected and turned down when they supported the applications. Parish councillors, they


said, were often left in an embarrassing position by having to face local resi­ dents a fte r unpopular decisions had been taken by the borough council. Some representatives


also suggested that the planning o fficers were reluctant to recommend refusal of some planning applications because o f fea rs o v e r the costs involved in appeals. Borough planning man­


ager Mr Stewart Bailey said this was to ta l ly untrue. Applications were


judged on planning merits — the council would not


want to oppose an applica­ tion where there was no a r m o u r o n p 1 a n n i n g grounds to defend an appeal. “ It is not because of the fear of costs that officers make their recom­ mendations," lie added.

running that the school has carried off the trophy for the four to seven-year olds. The Waddington and


West Bradford pupils made a coal of arms on card, using village scenes, surrounding countryside and emblems for their d e s ig n ■

witches, Pendle Hill, the Coronation Cardens and St Helen’s Church. Not only have the chil­


dren won the trophy for the best design, hut a second team of pupils from tiie same school lias been highly commended for its entry in the same section. Both entries were sub­


mitted as a group project, from the infants’ depart­ ment, under the guidance of class 2 teacher Mrs Pat March and Mrs Sue Teale, of class 1. . Head teacher Mr Peter


Cunliffe said that the school was now looking forward to collecting the trophy at the off ic ial awards presentation in the


Memorial Hall at Freck- leton on October 27th. Meanwhile, this is the


first time in the competi­ tion that a Kibble Valley

community has not won either one of the village awards or one of the prizes for individual sites, such as playing fields, village halls and public houses. In HISS, for instance,


the Kibble Valley had a staggering 13 prizes and last year collected four. This year the competi­


tion attracted a total of % entries from around Lan­ cashire and there were 18 from the Kibble Valley.


Mr Richard Davy, direc­


tor o f the Community Council o f Lancashire which organises the con­ test, said that the Ribble Valley was one of five dis­ tricts out of a total of 14 which had failed to figure among the main best-kept village awards.


“There’s no special rea­


son why the Ribble Valley has had such little success this time, but entries and s tan d ard s hav e been exceptionally high in all categories,” he added.


Hornby (Lancaster) won


the champion class, War- ton (Fylde) the large vil­ lage class and St Michael’s on Wyre (Wyre) the small v il lage class. Shirdley (West Lanes) was the to]) hamlet.


Opening of nature reserves


TWO new Kibble Valley nature reserves were due to he officially opened yes­ terday by Lord Clitheroe.


The reserves, at Cross


Hill and Salthill. Clith­ eroe, have been acquired by the Lancashire Trust for Nature Conservation and have a rare abundance of (lower-rich limestone grassland, as well as a variety of bird and insect life.


The value of the indus­


trial site — 10 acres of abandoned limestone quar­ ries — was recognised 10 years ago, hut it is only in the last two years that the trust lias negotiated the leases from the Kibble Valley Council.


Practical conservation


work will be carried out by local volunteers, including the trust's Kibble Valley Conservation Group. The project has the backing of Castle Cement, ICI, Dug- dale’s, Tarmac, the Kibble Valley Council, the Nature Conservancy Council and L a n e a s h i r e C o u n t y Council.


Year’s ban after driving ‘only yards’


A MAN who claimed that he drove his brother’s car only a few yards while having consumed over twice the legal limit of alcohol was disqualified from driving for 12 months by Clitheroe magistrates.


Philip Andrew Knight


(25), o f T aylor Street, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to driving a motor car with


excess alcohol, but argued that there were special reasons why he should not be disqualified, as he had only driven a very short distance. Police officers on mobile


patrol duty saw a white Ford Escort parked in the middle of Taylor Street with the hazard warning l ig h ts on. T h e y saw Knight get into the vehicle


and drive it round the corner.


W h en a sam p le i o f


breath was taken, Knight was found to have 79 micrograms of alcohol in it, the legal limit being 35.


. Knight told the court that he had been out with his brother and friends for most of the day. When he returned home, he noticed

that his brother’s car was parked in a dangerous position, jutting out into the road. He decided to move it round the corner and the police saw him drive it.


However, the magis­


trates did not feel there were special reasons not to endorse Knight’s licence. He was fined £250 and ordered to pay £20 costs.
