l o c a l S t J o h n A m b u l a n c e Street, served with the


Clitheroe-born Mrs


cadets during her childhood and then, after a break, rejoined the move­ ment with the adult section as a nursing member. She was promoted to


divisional officer in April 1987 and then succeeded the retiring divisional superintendent, Mrs Edna Hothersall.


Bibby was a clerk with the Halifax Building Society in Blackburn before her marriage. Her husband, Fred, a plasterer and tiler, is an auxiliary member. They have a 16-month-old son, Ryan.


Mrs Bibby heads a


35-strong group and, like many of the other mem­


bers, frequently turns but for a variety of public events in Clitheroe, providing first aid services when required. As already reported in


the “Advertiser and Times,” Mrs Hothersall retired after more than 30 years' service with the movement. She is now a “ reserve” and still helps with training.

THE Clitheroe Mayor and Deputy are set to swap roles in May, following a new a r ra n g em e n t p u t fo rw a rd by the town


council. Usually the Mayor steps


down altogether after a two-year stint, but nobody can,be found to take on the job of Deputy Mayor. The p re se n t Mayor ,


Conn. Patrick Shepherd, said he would be willing to serve as de p uty when Coun. Barrie Parker, the present deputy, steps into his-shoes. In the past, the Deputy


Mayor served fo r two years and then became Mayor for two years, but councillors are now sug­ gesting that the retiring Mayor should become Deputy Mayor fo r one year and that a newcomer to the mayoralty should then serve as deputy for one year, before succeed­ ing to the senior position The two-year period as M ayo r , however, w i l l continue. The m a t te r is to be


referred to the council’s Planning Committee for approval.

COUNTY police are so concerned about the num­ ber of thefts of touring caravans and th e ir con­ tents that they are holding a caravan security day in


Padiham on Sunday. Caravan owners in the


Ribble Valley are invited to bring th e ir caravans along for security advice and postcode marking. 7 specialist firm of wind screen engravers will be attending too, althou ’* there will be a £5 fee


this service. Postcoding equipment


will also be available for cycles, lawn-mowers, gar­ den fu rn itu re and even golf trolleys. The event will be held at


M u l la rd ’s car p a rk , in Blackburn Road, from 10-


30 a.m. to 4-30 p.m. Better access


TH E access road to St James’s Street, Clitheroe,


and St James’s School is to be improved for £4,000, the cost of which is to be split between Lancashire County Council and Ribble Valley Borough Council.

The matter was raised


by Coun. John Cowgill at Clitheroe Town Council, when he explained that vehicles were often parked along the road between Shawbridge and Tesco’s


store. “ The road is not wide


enough for three lanes of traffic and there are enor­ mous hold-ups,” he said. “The inner ring road was built to allow the traffic to f lo w f r e e l y r o u n d Clitheroe.” Coun. E r ic Bracewell


explained that the police had said they were not in favour of action to stop parking, as the stationary vehicles were a way of slowing down traffic, but he felt the council would be justified in taking up the matter with the police. Coun. B a r rie Parker


said that many children crossed the road near the Shawbridge junction and w e re masked by th e parked vehicles. He felt the m a t te r should be referred to the Ribble V al­ ley Council, with a view to investigating the possibil­ ity of double yellow lines. Coun. Cowgill felt dri­

Members of Ribble Val­


ley Council’s Planning and Development Committee had visited the site, Low Moor Farm, Union Street, Low Moor, prior to their meeting. Outline consent for the


principle o f the devel­ opment has already been r ive n and co u n c illo rs leard that the application


had resulted in the access road being re-sited close to the v illa g e green, as a r e s u l t o f o w n e rs h ip difficulties. R e - s i t in g th e road


would result in the need to fell two trees covered by a preservation order. Coun. H ow e l Jones


(Clitheroe) expressed con­ cern at the erosion of the village green and said he felt i t was wrong to place preservation orders on trees, then find i t was inconvenient and remove them. T h e p ro b le m w a s


access, said Coun. Jones, along with the inability of two parties to agree. “ Is it any part of our planning brief to help people out of difficulties because they cannot come to terms with each other? I think not.” C o u n ty C o u n . Ron


Pickup (Clitheroe) said he believed the amenity land was not in the ownership o f the applicants, b u t belonged to the mother of the applicants. He sug­ gested th a t th e land should be dedicated to the council for perpetuity. County Coun. Pickup


successfully proposed that the matter be deferred while attempts were made to establish the route of the footpath.


Paving the way


C L IT H E R O E ’ S Sue Ryder Support Group is still raising money for its paving stones appeal. With this in mind, all


money raised from the g ro u p ’ s s p r in g coffee morning at the United Reformed Church Hall on Saturday will go towards the cost of providing 400 stones to make a path for wheelchairs at Cuerden Hall, the local Sue Ryder home. The Mayor of the Ribble


V a l le y , Coun. Howel Jones, has been invited to


draw the raffle.


H a r d w o r k p a y s o f f


A WINNING combination of hard work and enter- jrising fund-raising ideas telped Waddington and West Bradford’s Poppy Appeal to reach a magnifi­ cent £1,456. The to ta l, which was


20% up on last year, came f rom h o u s e - to -h o u s e collections and a number of special events, such as cheese and wine evenings, whist and domino drives, a band concert and a grand raffle. The high figure, which


represents almost £1 per person in the area, was achieved due to the com­ mitment of the helpers, members and friends who work hard every year for the Waddington branch of the Royal British Legion

the s u p p o r t o f parish councils in the Ribble Val­ ley,is for beds to be set aside at the hospital for mothers during the “ lying in” period after delivery. The move follows the closure last year of Bram-


So fa r , th e h e a l th


authority has given lit t le hope of the idea materia­ lising, although Mr Wool- ley says he is prepared to discuss the matter. The talks are scheduled


to take place during a rou­ tine meeting of the bor­ ough c o u n c il’ s P u b lic Works and Health Com­ mittee on March 26th. Clitheroe Town Council


at its meeting decided to support the move. •


Ribble Va lle y Mayor


Coun. Howel Jones, also a member of the town coun cil.told his Clitheroe col leagues th a t th e idea would be to press for “ ly­ ing-in fa cilities” at the hospital for new mothers and not to set up a full m a te rn ity ward at the hospital. He pointed out th a t


their case would be rein­ forced by the attendance of two local GPs at the


talks. “These facilities would


be a definite advantage for the area,” he added.
