a meeting of the Ribble Valley Council’s Finance and General Purposes Committee, when council­ lors approved annual increases in the various licence fees. Members received a


report on fees levied by the other 13 Lancashire district councils, showing that the Ribble Valley had some of the lowest charges for entertainment and vehicle licences in the county. “We are the bargain

lands Garage, in Clitheroe, have been in celebratory mood since the award was announced in June. The team of 23 employees has spent 12 months


working on the standard, which has already been re­ assessed and will continually be scrutinised. It has involved the heads of all departments within


the company working through the garage’s manual of procedures, which nave to be strictly adhered to, checked by the British Standards Institute and then monitored before the standard is awarded. The garage received its certificate from the North­


ern district manager for Ford, Mr Robin August. Rufus Carr’s managing director Mr Fred Kemp


paid tribute to all the employees for their co-opera­ tion and particularly to company secretary Mrs Gil­ lian Brennan for her administrative work. “A number of people have tried to achieve it and have thrown in the towel,” he said. Rufus Carr began in Rimington in 1928 and became


a limited company in 1948, opening the Bawdlands garage around 1950. The man who gave his name to the company, Mr Rufus Carr, still lives in Rimington and, at the age of 86, still goes into the Rimington garage daily.
