Residents’ fury at over-sized building
R E S ID E N T S o f a Clitheroe backwater are seeing red about a factory building which
they claim is too big. Upbrooks householders
are furious that high-flying firm Ultraframe has added 300 extra square feet to its new factory in Lincoln Way. They say the build ing is much larger than planned and claim it is a blot on the landscape. Ultraframe bosses have offered to plant trees and
shrubs to hide the building and have pointed out that the site is designated for industrial use. A spokesman for the residents, who wished to
Another chance to
see show L O C A L p e op le have another chance to see H o r s e and Bamb oo Theatre Company’s excit ing production of “Visions of Hildegard” . The snow, which played to a packed audience at
Whaliey Village Hall in December, will be pre sented at Ribchester Paro chial Hall on Monday. Horse and Bamboo has
gained an international reputation for its unusual blend of theatre, mask- work, shadow puppetry and music. “Visions of Hildegard
tells the tale o f Abbess Hildegard of Bingen — poet, mystic, visionary, musician and one of the most remarkable woman of the Middle Ages. Horse and Bamboo will
also hold workshops at St W i l fr id ’s CE Primary
School, Ribchester (Jan uary 22nd), and St Augus tine’s RC School, Billing- ton (23rd). Fur ther details and
bookings are available from St Wilfrid’s School, R ib ch e s te r , on 01254 878300.

rem a in anonymous, claimed the development intruded adversely on the surrounding countryside. Traffic problems created by container parking at the site were also threa tening to turn Lincoln Way into an accident black spot. Mr John Lancaster
Ultraframe’s managing d i r e c t o r , sa id th e Upbrooks site had been designated for industrial use and he had hired professional landscaper to hide the building. He commented: “We are
well aware of the concerns of Upbrooks residents and hope to screen the building with trees and shrubs. We always try to consider local residents, although when you are operating such an expanding busi ness this can p ro v e difficult. “The new building is in
an area specifically set aside for industrial devel
opment and, indeed, U ltra fram e has been
encouraged to expand and create more employment
for Clitheroe people.” Mr L a n c a s te r also
pointed out that the firm’s distribution wing, entail ing the lo a d in g and unloading of lorries, had b e e n s w i t c h e d to Upbrooks from the front of the firm, situated on Salthill, ironically to address the concerns of residents living there. A spokesman for the
Ribble Valley Council Planning Department con
firmed that officers had visited the site and found it to be approximately 300 square feet larger than proposed. He expla ined that
according to procedure. U ltra fram e had been invited to submit a revised a p p l ic a t io n fo r the building. He said: “ The new
application will be con sidered by the Planning Committee and, if refused, enforcement action taken. This might entail part of th e b u i ld in g b e in g demolished. “ I must point out that
the building has been increased by approxi mately 300 square feet, from 4,200 to 4,500 square feet, which in relative terms is not significant.”
A magical day for youngsters at seaside
L IV E theatre became a magical experience for chil dren from a small Ribble Valley primary school.
The 29 pupils from Thorney-
holme RC School, Dunsop Bridge, spent a day at the Grand T h e a t r e , B la c k p o o l , and thoroughly enjoyed e v e ry minute.
During their visit they were present as a cheque for £5,000
was presented to the theatre on behalf of Marks and Spencer pic. The money is sponsorship for the th e a t r e ’ s new ed u c a t ion programme. Younger pupils took part in
music, movement and drama workshops during the morning, while older pupils enjoyed drama
workshops based around the
original opening of the theatre. During the first session, the
youngsters, aged between four and 11, toured the theatre and thoroughly enjoyed their back- stage experience.
In the afternoon, they joined
the audience for a performance of “Snow White” .
During this term, the pupils will be carrying out work about
the theatre and Friday’s visit gave them lots to think about.

Taylor highlighted the club’s support for a visit to the area by 25 Cher nobyl young people who stayed at the homes of people in Blackburn and the Ribble Valley. He pointed out that
the club accompanied and funded a trip to
Waves, at Blackburn, by the youngsters from the nuclear-accident zone. I t was the first time they had seen a public swimming pool and the special fun equipment at Waves came as a real surprise to them. The president also
paid tribute to the club for increasing member ship during the year and for its charity fund raising, and pointed out
th a t members were enjoying a programe o f
social activities such as climbing and walking. Some 120 members
and guests attended the dinner, including Dis trict Rotaract Chair man Mr Phil Ainsworth and Clitheroe Rotary
