T H E much-coveted mantle of Sham Mayor of Worston is set to grace the shoulders of another illustrious Ribble Valley figure at the Mayor of Worston’s Fun Day, on ’ .September 12th, at the Calf’s Head Worston. This year’s theme is the Centre of the Kingdom


and the event, which starts at 1 p.m., looks set to lie a resounding success.


There will be charity stalls, fun events, the final


of our J umor Town Crier competition and, as if that was not enough, an Anglers’ Corner manned by the "Advertiser and Times” angling correspondent, Mai tin James, and three of his friends, Michael Hughes, of Clitheroe, and Duncan Mellors and Keith Mason, both from Yorkshire. They will answer questions on all aspects of angling and will be showing the tackle and flies you should be using to enjoy the sport to the full.


Current Mayor John Barry -

Clitheroe. The identity of the new mayor is shrouded in


secrecy for the time being— but watch this space, in coming weeks, to find out who it is to be. John Barry has many pleasant memories of his


year as mayor. He commented: “It’s amazing how many people know about the sham mayor. I seem to have acquired a certain notoriety during the year! But I’ve had a very interesting and eventful 12


months.” Among Mr Barry’s mayoral duties have been the


presentation of prizes at the Gisburn Gala and a Torchlight Procession appearance in full sham mayor


regalia. “I’ll be sad to relinquish the title,” said Mr Barry,


“but I know it’s going into good hands.” To find out who the new mayor is . . . to take part


in a host of activities . . . to join the extravaganza of excitement, with free admission and car parking — watch our newspaper for all the details and don t miss this year’s Mayor of Worston’s Pun Day.

Against parking charges


COUNCILLORS in the Kibble Valley are throw­ ing their weight behind a campaign to stop car park­ ing charges being imposed at Preston’s hospitals. A meeting of Kibble Valley Council's Policy -mil


Resources Committee unanimously supported l.e s - ton Borough Council’s fight against plans, by the Preston Health Authority, to impose the charges. Councillors expressed fears that car park dung­

CHUN IS — LLOYD


A honeymoon touring India followed the wedding of Miss .lime Lloyd and Mr Anthony Chitnis at St


Peter’s KC Church. Slonyhurst. The bride, a university administrator, is the elder daughter (T Mr and Mrs Jeremy and Pamela Lloyd,


of Kimington. The bridegroom, a recruitment consultant, is the


youngest son of Dr amd Mrs J . Chitnis, of


Birmingham. Given away by her father, the bride wore a simple


dress of cream satin and silk chiffon. She carried a bouquet of lilies and roses, and wore a cream coloured hat with a tulle veil, trimmed with fresh flowers. In attendance were the Misses Tara and India


Chitnis, the bridegroom’s nieces. They wore cream silk dresses with lace trim and flame silk sashes, and headbands trimmed with flowers. They carried bas­


kets of fresh flowers. Best man was Mr Jay Chitnis, the bridegrooms


brother, and ushers were Mr Paul Chitnis and Dr Anand Chitnis, also the bridegroom’s brothers. The ceremony was performed by I’r T. Shuffie- botliam and accompanied by organist Mr Anthony John. A reception followed at StonyhursL College.

THE story men and women who have

bug at the age of 14, fol­ lowing a visit to the Hey- sham go-kart track, Peter persuaded his father to buy a kart and he soon found himself in the thick of the action, racing in the 100 UK class. Peter quickly became a


demon on the track and in 1990 registered his most consistent season, when he thundered to fourth place


in the 100s category. Now, his recent victory


has boosted him up the British rankings for the 210 National category. His next race will be against a top class field at


Government review is explained


THE Local Government Review was on the agenda at a meeting of the Clith­ eroe Probus Club. The R ib b le V a l ley


Cou nc il’s ch ie f legal officer, Mr Paul Timson, told Probus members that the review favours the abolition of the current two-tier system of local government. In s te a d , a u n ita ry


authority is favoured. This would replace the county and district councils and take responsibility for all their services. A Local Government


Commission is currently reviewing local authorities and recommending neces sary changes. After the talk, doubts


were expressed that a Ribble Valley unitary authority would have the resources to deal with such items as roads and social services. Several members felt


that the present two-tier system should be retained but made more efficient. Mr Doug Smith thanked


Mr Timson for the clarity of his presentation. The group’s next meet


ing is tomorrow, in the lecture theatre of Clith­


eroe Royal Grammar School, when Mrs B. Moore will give a talk enti­ tled: “A Lancashire Mix.”


Stepping out


THE Ribble Valley is a step ahead when it comes to staging next year’s Lancashire dance resi­ dency — for the borough is to play host to the Ludus dance company. The residency, involving


workshops throughout the area, is being funded by North West Arts and Lan­ cashire County Council.

provided by his father, who runs J . and M. Tim­ ber supplies, in Taylor S tre e t , Clitheroe, and from a firm in Coventry. The car’s mechanics are

Anger over felling of birch trees


A HENTHORN woman is up in arms about the fell­ ing of two 50-year-old birch trees. Mrs Sylvia Lofthouse,


of Siddows Avenue, was incensed when workmen chopped the trees down oil Monday morning. The order to fell was


made because, said Kib­ ble Valley Council tree officer Mr David Hewitt, the trees were touching tile roofs of nearby flats. Mrs Lofthouse said: “It


has really upset me, the way they just came and chopped them down with­ out any consultation. The first thing I knew was when th e workmen


arrived.” Mr Hewitt, however,


pointed out that the trees were touching the roofs of flats at the recently-devc loped Hargreaves Court. He said: “Developers


are usually keen to use as much of the site as possi­ ble, meaning building often takes place too close to existing trees. I have recommended that they be eplaced with shrubbery.” An unrelenting Mrs


Lofthouse commented: “The trees were perfectly healthy and could have b e en p ru n ed . T h ey shouldn’ t have b e e n destroyed.”

Low cost housing is high priority


A COMMITMENT to the provision of low cost housing in the Ribble Valley was reaffirmed by council­ lors when they dis­ cussed a new housing


strategy document. The housing strategy


statement, which was pre­ sented to a Housing Com­ mittee meeting, outlines the key elements for hous­ ing over the next three years. I t pinpoints the main


elements of an ongoing programme which will provide: • Tlie repair, improve­ ment and adaptation of


privately-owned dwellings by payment of housing grants. 9 The effeetive manage­


officers, who prepared the report, explained in detail where they see the hous­


ment and renovation of council-owned dwellings in accordance witli a planned improvement programme. • The building of social housing to meet the identi­ fied needs of the Ribble Valley by working in part­ nership with land owners, housing associations and private developers. Efforts will be made to


maintain the design qual­ ity of all new houses in terms of appearance, s e cu r i ty and energy conservation. Ribble Valley Council

between the borough council and the house building industry will con- tunue to focus on the need for affordable and manage­ able homes, especially for the elderly and for young people just starting on the housing ladder. Ribble Valley Council is


an active housing market; protects the quality of the environment and allows th e d ev e lopm en t of socially acceptable house building. I t also confirms its
