Sampling delights of Christmas past


KIBBLE VALLEY residents are guaranteed a "1 Jit-kens" uf a night at Whallev's Victorian Christ­ mas extravaganza — Mr I'ickwick's Party Night. In true Victorian tradition. Kibble Valley resi­


dents will be asked to step back in time and sam­ ple the Christmas delights of the lilth century. Imagine an ancient street lit by sparkling glass


lanterns, with the smell of hot roasting chestnuts wafting in your direction. There are young children listening carefully to


Father Christmas in his grotto, while their par­ ents warm themselves on hot mince (ties and trea­ cle toffee.

been brought to life by Whalley and District Lions Club and the Whalley branch of Clitheroe and District Chamber of Trade.


It will take place in Whalley on December Kith, between (i and It p.m.


More young people opt for further education


FEWER school leavers in the Kibble Valley remain unemployed this year than in recent years. Over several years


there has been a gradual increase in the number of people remaining in educa­ tion beyond the statutory school leaving age. In 11)1)0, 07% remained in education and this year the figure has risen to 7891. In the Lancashire Careers Service report on the “ destination of cli­ ents,” district careers officer Mrs Dorothy Mas­ ked states that the num­ ber of young people and types o f occupations entered remain very simi­ lar. The main change was in the Hyndburn area, where 5091 fewer entered food preparation and ser­ vice and personal services and sales. In the Kibble Valley


there has been an increase in the number of young people entering installa­ tion, maintenance and repair training in the engineering and building industries. Engineering anti build­


ing tops the list of occupa­ tional destinations, with manufacturing in second place and administration and clerical third. Out of 830 school leavers


in Hyndburn and the Rib- ble Valley, -198 went into further education, 109 into employment, 122 into youth training, 47 regis­ tered unemployed, 17 either left the county or remained at home and 40 did not reply to the questionnaire.


House is allowed


OUTLINE planning per­ mission has been given on appeal for a detached house in Grindleton. Following an inquiry


into the appeal and an inspector’s visit to the site, the house, on land adjacent to Prospect House, Sawley, has been allowed. Members of Ribble Val­


ley Council’s Planning and Development Committee heard that, in the inspec­ tor’s view, the main issue was the effect of the pro­ posal on the appearance and setting of Grindleton. He concluded that, with


careful design and land­ scaping, a detached house of an appropriate size, relative to the nearby development, would not cause unacceptable harm to the village.


Spinners’ Guild


THE annual meeting of the Bowland Guild of Spin­ ners, Weavers and Dyers


was held at the Old Gram­ mar School, Whalley. The guild has had a suc­


cessful year, with a varied- programme of workshops and speakers of interna­ tional repute, and an equally interesting pro- g ram m e has b e en arranged for 1994. The guild has members


of all levels of ability in their craft and welcomes


new ones over the age of 16.


Anyone interested in


attending is invited to con­ tact secretary Mrs K. Sharpies (0254 823653).


No supper


A SABDEN pub has lost its supper hour certificate. Clitheroe magistrates


withdrew the supper hour certificate from the Pendle Witch Hotel, after hearing that food was not being


served. Sgt David Davenport


explained that the pub had been visited on several


occasions. “No food is being served


at the premises. The rea­ son for the certificate no longer applies,” he said. Licensee Mr William Driver waiSnot present.


Must pay £800 for trying to


sell unfit calf


A SLAIDBURN livestock dealer was found guilty of two offences under the Welfare of


Animals at Markets Order. Neil Breaks (25), of market, after purchasing


Church Style Farm, den- the animal the previous ied bringing a bull calf evening. He had checked with an unhealed navel to


Gisburn Auction Mart and then permitting the animal to be exposed for sale when unfit.


Clitheroe magistrates


found the case proved and fined him £200, as well as ordering him to pay £000 costs.


Mr Alistair Bowen,


representing Lancashire County Council, told the court that an animal health and welfare inspector had noticed the bull calf in question in the after sales pen at the market.


The in sp e c to r , Mr


George Douglas, said that the animal looked poorly, was unsteady on its legs and had a damp and tacky umbilical cord. A Ministry of Agriculture vet later inspected the animal and agreed that the calf was unfit for sale.


_ Breaks, who repre­ sented himself, explained


that he had only collected the calf on his way to the


the navel and had pre­ sented the calf in the belief that the animal was fit and healthy. The court heard that


Breaks later withdrew the calf when the animal only reached a price of £82. but then sold the animal a few days later at Skipton Auc­ tion Mart for £135. Breaks argued that the


condition o f the calf occurred as a result of the animal being put in a crowded pen with other larger, rougher calves. He speculated that the calf had either been trampled or that another calf had interfered with the umbili­ cal cord. “ It is a mystery what


happened to that calf, because when I presented it to the market it was in A1 condition. The inspec­ tor didn’t see the calf on entry to the market. By the time it was seen, it was in a distressed condi­ tion. I don’t dispute that,” Breaks commented.

Nigel Evans called the proposal a “hair-brained scheme to try and get the numbers right” and said the North West should be fighting instead to retain 16 seats and an intact Rib­ ble Valley.


“I am totally opposed to


the dismemberment of the Ribble Valley. I think it


would be ex tremely damaging to community spirit if the Ribble Valley became divided. I believe the Ribble Valley needs one voice to speak on its behalf, not two or three,” he said.

Because draft proposals


to transfer Read, Simon- stone and Sabden into Pendle, and in turn move Brookfield and Ingol into the Ribble Valley, had proved totally unaccept­ able, the only other option was moving the Bowland wards.


Mr Walsh suggested


this was not unreasonable because such a change would reunite the'Skipton constituency which existed prior to 1983 and included the villages in question, along with Barnoldswick and Earby.


Instead of Brookfield


and Ingol, the proposal calls for five South Ribble wards to become part of the Ribble Valley constitu­ ency. All the rearranging is aimed at reducing the number of Lancashire seats from 16 to 15.

Battling residents renew opposition to homes scheme


the “ Adv er tiser


SEVERAL a renewed public inquiry in Clitheroe on Tuesday. Nine villagers, who told presented to him


a n d


Times” that they repre­ sented the views of some 300 residents, submitted letters of objection to the scheme. They watched from the


public seats in the Ribble Valley Council chamber as the local authority was called for the second time in two years to defend its reasons for refusing plan­ ning consent for the devel­ opment on land off Sunny- side Avenue. A public ir uiry in


October, 1991, iiad found in favour of the council, on the grounds that the scheme would be detri­ mental to highway safety. The appellants were


Stewart. Geldard, Petre and Wallbank, owners of the site, making their second appeal against the council’s refusal. Council planning man­ ager Mr Stewart Bailey


told the inquiry that the local authority’s case was based mainly on the fact that an identical appeal had been turned down in 1991. However, he conceded


that, the site was included in the Local Plan for resi­ dential development. He said that a new


access road to the pro­ posed development would have substandard visibil­ ity at its junction with Whalley New Road and the likely intensity of vehicle movement would be detrimental to the interests o f highway safety and nearby residen­ tial amenities.


“ The visible splay is


below the standard required on a 40 m.p.h. road, which is heavily used.” He pointed out that the


inspector at the first inquiry had endorsed this view. M r David M a n 1 e y ,


inspector at the previous inquiry had not had all the facts regarding traffic flow

Council faring better than


its neighbours


j THE Ribble Valley Council has fared better than many neighbouring authorities in the Government’s 1994/95 Standard Spending


Assessment (SSA) settlement.________________ Chief financial officer


Mr John Hunt said that the £4,158,000 SSA for the Ribble Valley represented a 7Vi increase over last year and was a reasonable settlement. Mr Hunt explained that


other East Lancashire authorities had actually received reductions and that he had initially fore­ cast a 3% increase for the


Ribble Valley. “They have been taking into account new factors


which are included in the grant calculations. We in the Ribble Valley have now benefited from that,” he said. Mr Hunt noted that the


SSA formed only part of the local budget equation. “As far as the Ribble


Valley is concerned, the £4,15*8,000 is what the Government says we can spend and, if we spend at that level, the Govern­ ment will then give us .£2,682,000 towards that,” he said. “We would have to raise


the balance then from local ta x p a y e r s , but ju s t because the assessment has gone up by 7% doesn’t mean the council’s spend­ ing will reflect that,” he added. The SSA is now being


used to calculate an esti­ mate for the 1994/95 coun­ cil tax base, which will be presented at a Ribble Val­ ley Council meeting on Tuesday. Mr Hunt explained that


the expenditure plans of Lancashire County Coun­ cil would be the biggest factor in the budget jig­ saw, representing 90% of local council tax demands.

include part of the Ribble Valley in her circuit. The meeting ended with

Welcomes end to


holiday ‘rewards’


GOVERNMENT pledges to end holidays abroad for young offenders have been welcomed by Ribble Val­ ley MP Nigel Evans. The move comes only


two weeks a fte r Mr Evans, speaking in the House o f Commons, described a recent ease where a teenager was “sentenced” to a holiday abroad as “scandalous.” He condemned the case


where an offender had been given a rehabilitation h o l id a y ab roa d and another where a teenage car thief had been given driving lessons. He said: “Such activity is an affront to the victims of crime, who want criminals to be put into detention centres or g iv e n cu s t o d ia l sentences.” The pledges were made


by Home Office Minister David Maclean in a speech to MPs, in which he out­ lined Government plans to introduce tougher punish­ ments to replace soft com­ munity sentences and holi­ days in the sun. Mr Evans told the


“Clitheroe Advertiser and Times” that the moves will put an end to this “abuse” of the system. He said: “Those youngsters respon­ sible for terrorising their community will no longer get a sun tan at the tax­ payers’ expense, but will be taught a harsh lesson in discipline.”


Party goes with a swing


AN enjoyable evening of


singing and entertainment was spent at the Christ­


mas party of Clitheroe Evening Townswomen’s Guild, with a short sketch called “Dick Whittington and his Cat” and three beautiful pieces performed by the Guild’s choir. The entertainment was


accompanied by Mr G. Hitchen and a buffet sup­ per, provided by mem­ bers, was served. Mrs Joyce Plumridge wel­ comed members and thanked those who had accompanied her to the Remembrance service or


sold poppies. She introduced the


director of Ribble Valley’s environmental services, Mr David Morris, who explained the proposed changes to the Ribble Val­ ley. The financial state­ ment was given by Mrs M. Ireland and the hospital report by Mrs G. Parker. The next meeting will


be held on January 6th at the Spiritualist Hall, Greenacre Street, when the speaker will be Mrs L. Trust on the “David Win­ ter Cottages.”


Takes over pathway


THE responsibility for maintaining the pathway across Alma Place, Clith­ eroe, has passed from Lancashire County Coun­ cil to the Ribble Valley Borough Council, follow­ ing a court order.


Clitheroe magistrates


granted the “de-adoption” of the path, after hearing that the county council felt it should no longer be responsible for maintain- ance because the borough council had earmarked Alma Place as a general improvement area. Its “de-adoption” would allow the borough council


to take* over responsibility for its upkeep, using what­


ever materials required for the general improve­ ment scheme.


The court heard that the


order would not affect the right of way and there were no objections.
