an immediate custodial sentence can be imposed. This shows to you and the

year driving ban on Lyte, who had three previous convictions for drinking and driving. He received a prison sen­

NEW LIFE FOR OLD BARN


country projects


by Sheila Nixon


AN old barn no longer used for agriculture has been given a new lease of life by Ribble Valley Conservation Group’s hardworking volunteers.


• Members, who spend


their spare time preser­ ving and improving the countryside, have trans­ formed- the building at


Bashall Eaves into a base for their projects. It has been renovated to


include a fully-fitted kit­ chen, toilets, showers and workshop. A shippon is' also being restored to its original state as part of th e f ir s t ph ase o f the scheme and will be avail­


able for field trips for schoolchildren keen to


learn somethin g about countryside management and the history of rural life.


An official opening cere­


mony was performed by the outgoing Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun. Dorothy Pearson, who congratu-


. luted and thanked the v o lu n t e e r s on th e ir achievements and said that it was pleasing to see a bai;n...being, .'used to pro-^-

The barn has been


leased to the group at a p e p p e r c o r n r e n t by


.Bashall Eaves landowner Miss Dorothea Worsley- Taylor, who is also the group’s honorary presi­ dent and has supported the project throughout.


Members have done


much of the renovation work themselves over a


five-year period. Fund­ raising by the volunteers and donations from vari­ ous sources have financed the scheme.
