Ultraframe flying flag for quality


LAST year’s winner of the Lancashire Rural Business of the Year Award — Clitheroe’s Ultraframe — has been granted the coveted BS 5750 mark of


quality. The sought-after kitemark


shows that the company, the first major rural-based business in the county to be granted accreditation, is quality- oriented and follows a specific


standard of work. The award is the latest in a series


of accolades for Ultraframe, which has burgeoned into an employer of


180 people. Ultraframe spokesman Mr David


Sharp'said: “We are delighted to


receive this recognition, which not only shows our customers that we are a quality-lead company, but is also a credit to the hard work every mem­ ber of our workforce has put in over the last couple of years, during a time when the construction and allied industries have been under great


pressure.” Mr Peter Shaw, the Rural Devel­


opment Commission’ s quality assurance co-ordinator for Lanca­ shire, added: “Ultraframe has already proved to be a well-managed, suc­ cessful company, but by gaining BS 5750 recognition it should now be able to further increase its standing, both in this country and overseas.” Ultraframe’s managing director, Mr John Lancaster, is pictured


receiving the BS 5750 certificate from Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans, with Ultraframe employees and official dignitaries looking on.


Wins appeal to carry on car repair business


ONE of the best known landlords in the Rib- ble Valley, and certainly one of the “largest”


characters in every sense of the word, will be moving into a Clitheroe town centre public


house from next week. Mr Peter Hodgkinson and his wife Mary, licensees


of The Buck Inn, Paythorne, for seven years, are taking over the Dog and Partridge, in Wellgate, on Tuesday. The Buck Inn is currently on the market, but will


be run by the Hodgkinson family until a buyer is found. It is not the first time they have run two public houses together; prior to moving to Paythorne, , they retained the licence of the White Bull Hotel ai


Gisburn for some time. Looking forward to a new challenge, Mr Hodgkin­


son — “Hoppy” to all his customers and friends —- and his wife and two children will be living in Clith­ eroe. Luke (12) already attends Ribblesdale High School and Leah (10), currently a pupil at Gisburn County Primary School, will be joining him next


autumn. Catering, whether for functions large or small, bar


snacks and meals, has been one of the family’s hall­ marks at both the White Bull and The Buck. The couple will be reopening at lunchtime and introduc-


. ing food from a “lito bite” menu. Mrs Hodgkinson’s prowess in the kitchen has won


plenty of acclaim from regular customers to Payth­ orne and, until The Buck is sold, she will be in charge of the kitchen there, cooking for parties, Christmas and New Year functions. “The Dog and Partridge is a new challenge to us


and we hope the customers enjoy our style of running the pub,” says Mr Hodgkinson. From next year, tiie family will be taking bookings for the upstairs function room, which they hope to develop, initially offering buffet-style catering. With 20 years’ experience in the trade, a wealth of


talcs to tell and an interest in sport — despite his 17-stone frame — which has seen him successfully manage local football teams and encourage his pub teams to collect trophies galore in pool and darts, “Hoppy” and Mary (pictured above with their chil­ dren) will undoubtedly prove an asset to the Wellgate


pub.


A SABDEN man has won his appeal'against an enforcement notice issued by the local authority, requiring him to halt a car repair business on a village site. Planning inspector Mr niotor vehicle repairs by


Anthony"H. Vaughan allowed the appeal by Mr David Warburton regard­ ing land a t !) Pendle Street East, Sabden, after hear­ ing evidence in support of the application from six residents. The inspector heard


that.a garage had been constructed in 1063 and was used by Mr Alan Ainsworth in his spare time to repaii-. motor cycles and vehicles. In 197*1, Mr Ainsworth started a com­ pany which was registered at that address. Vehicles were maintained at the garage. His son, Andrew, later


joined his father in the business and, in 19S6, the annual turnover was £53,000. Mr Ainsworth jun. bought Sabden Ser­ vice Station in 19S7, but carried out overspill work on the appeal site. Evidence slating that


the garage had been used as such was given by Rib­ ble Valley councillor Mrs Eileen Lowe; Mr James Howarth, of 15 Pendle Street East; Mrs Patricia Ainsworth, of 13 Pendle


Mr Andrew Ainsworth and that he ran a business from the premises. He thought that lie would be able to use the garage in the same way, although on a lesser scale.


He told the inspector


that he had a full-time job working as a mechanic with a garage in Clitheroe, but most of his work at the appeal site involved car repairs with restoration. The Inland Revenue was fully aware of his commer­ cial activities on the site.


'l’he council was not able


to provide any witnesses who could give factual information about the typo of use carried on at the site in the early years. It was claimed that a pre- 196*1 business use had not been established, further­ more that as a continuous use had not existed since before the end of 1963, it would not now be immune from enforcement action.


Between 197*1 and 19S*1,


when the Ainsworths had operated a transport busi­ ness registered at the site, it was the main business of

application to put four additional windows in a barn converted to two units at Newton. Salisbury Hall Barn had


previously been given per­ mission for conversion and


the work had been carried out. The applicant, Mr J. Lewis, was requesting modification of the plans to provide one kitchen and bathroom window in each of the residential units. Councillors heard that


the two kitchen windows had already been cut and a request to the applicant to consider retaining the kit­ chen windows, but delet­ ing the proposed bathroom windows from the scheme, had been rejected. In a letter of objection,


a neighbour had stated that in opting, to live in a barn conversion, compro­ mises must bo made

Coun. Katherine Hod


kinson (Longridge) told colleagues that she could not survive in a kitchen without windows. Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe) said that a farmer would not hesitate to cut a win­ dow in a barn, with or without consent. They had been doing it for centuries.


Director of development


Mr Philip Bailey said his officers had gone to a great deal of trouble to get a satisfactory scheme. Approval had been given and, as soon as work began, windows that were not in the scheme initially appeared. Councillors agreed to


accept Mr Bailey’s reconv mendation and refuse the request, mindful of the fact that the applicant had not agreed to a compro mise of the kitchen win (lows without the bath room windows.
