-' 3 up s' isv-Y)
council discussed the fact that there was still no solution or light at the end o! the tunnel regarding the proposed street l ights between the (ireenside car
park and path across the green. Af te r three years of
waiting, councillors agreed to protest to Kibble Valiev Ml' Mr Nigel Keans, the local Lancashire county councillor and Kibble Val iev Council. When Kibble Val ley
Counci l int reduced it s social lighting policy, early
in 1UU2, Kibcliester Parish Counc i l i m nied iat e ly applied for the two street lights to be installed. Because the (Ireenside
car park is unlit, residents have been reluctant to park there overnight, cars have been broken into and even stolen. The borough

rejected tlu* request, stat ing that tlu* county council would not adopt them in such a position and that residents did not want them, but after a check was made it was found there was unanimous sup port among the villagers. 1 he borough council’s
charter states: “We will provide lighting on car parks and on footpaths through parks to improve
p e r s on a l s a f e t y and sercurity." I hat is exactly what
Kibchester Parish Council wants.

For everyone manning
the stalls at "Mr Pick wick’s Christmas Fair” on
Sunday afternoon, the style of dress was defini tely that of the Victorian lady and gentleman. Clothed in a checked
dress and bonnet was Mrs Edith Turner, who opened the fair at the Catholic Social Centre, Lowergate, accompanied by Mr John Brown,dressed in top hat and tails (pictured). Every taste was catered
for at the fair, ranging from the home-made cakes and jams to the craft,
jewel lery and white ele phant stalls. For the youngsters,
Father Christmas put in an early appearance to make a list of the presents I they wanted to find in their stockings.

The meeting also heard
that the hook of photo graphs published to cele brate the council's centen ary had sold (il)O copies within a month o f its launch.

Councillors learned that

ing here has nothing to do with democracy.” But Conn. John Travis
(Simonstone) accused the opposition of refusing to see the proposals in a posi tive light.
He said: “ We are not
looking at the potential that lies in these prop
als.These measures are about enhancing a lively, vigorous workforce and improving our committee and management struc ture. This is for the bene fit o f the community, w h i c h w e h a v e b e e n elected to serve." Coun. P e t e r Evans
(Wilpshire) affirmed the council's committment to its staf f , commenting: “ The problems of staf f morale can be traced back
to the Local Goverment Review, not these propos als. I can’ t think of any council where staff have not been concerned over recent months, but we are
committed to our staf f here." Councillors did not learn
of Mr Hunt’s retirement until after the meeting, f u e l l i n g f u r l h c r controversy.
