Live birds illustrate

was a sell-out on the day the tickets appeared, Mr Warburton described in an amusing and lively style his 25 years of involve­ ment with British owls. He made a plea for

THE already attractive Vale Gardens in Whalley look set to become even more of an eye-catcher! Whalley and Little Mit-

It also involves the more advanced rescue of an unconscious person, possibly with spinal injuries, with all the asso­ ciated resuscitation and cardiac arrest treatments required. The course ends with an examination for the staff.


Pathway may be deleted


A POPULAR Ribble Val­ ley pathway could well be out of bounds to walkers if an application by the land owner for a deletion order is accepted. At the Ribble Valley


Council’s Planning and Development Committee, it was reported that a new deletion application had been lodged. Members heard that in 1986 the bridleway, situated at Sawley, was downgraded to the status of a footpath, following the first applica­ tion for deletion. Coun. Mrs Joyce Lil-


had been made for grants from Lancashire County Council and the Ribble Valley Council to help with the laying of the stones. As soon as a response is


received, she will report to the council with final costings for the work.
