Penalty of modern day lifestyle As I see it

recently forced to break the law and park illegally because she was taking her young daughter to a hospital appointment a t Blackburn Royal Infirmary. Her law breaking obstructed nobody’s access to their home or anything else, but the pow- ers-that-be still slapped a £20 fixed penalty parking notice over the note she left apologising and explaining where she was. Or take the case of the people who

went to the car boot sale at Clitheroe Auction Mart and found, when they got back to their cars, that someone had decided to enforce a parking ban on Lincoln Way, which, on a Sunday when visitors to the sale are virtually the only people using the road, is about as senseless a piece of local reg­ ulation as you could wish to find — or your blood pressure should be asked to stand. And now it seems there are to be


charges for car parking in Clitheroe and, if in Clitheroe, why not in the rest of the towns and villages covered by the borough council? My very good friend, Joey Hazell, says that no good will come of the borough coun­ cil's flirtation with the world of meter maids and the only one-armed ban­ dits that never pay out. Joey, whose habitual gloom makes

goer. “By the time everyone’s put their


oar in, and had a few thousands ol our money out, i t ’ll be time for another budget and they’ll be carry­ ing on about tightening our belts and looking round for some more people


to sack. “While they’re whittering on about


all that, half the shopkeepers in town will have gone potty worrying about the effect the whole thing will have on trade, most of the county’s stock of traffic cones will be stacked up in people’s halls, ready to keep a space outside their house when Aunt Aggie comes for her visit on market day and some daft pen pusher will have taken another bite out of the bus schedules or the train service, or both. “Once these blighters have got the


bit between their teeth, they won t give up. They’ll have sp e n t^ h a t much doing studies they’ll feel they can’t. So they’ll put up some of those pay and display things you never have change for. The town’ll be full of people in a paddy driving round look­ ing for somewhere free to stop, super­ market car parks will be full of peo­ ple who’ve come into town to have their teeth fixed or the dog clipped and, the first time Cousin Bob can t drop Aunt Aggie off a t the front door on a Tuesday, there 11 be open war in BnSnnand Stfeet. I tell you, no good


will come of it." So, just to make Joey Hazell andla


• lot of other people feel better, will the councillor who first suggested charg­ ing for parking step forward so that an engraved plaque can be installed on the f irs t pay-and-display


machine? And will someone please explain


quickly whether meters are going to be installed in the supermarket car parks and, if not, how anybody who wants to buy six bargain packs of dis­ posable nappies and three dozen lagers is ever going to sleep again?

New head sets his college sights on next century


Jesuit school in the Ribble Valley, is Mr Adrian Ayl- ward, who worked in the City and industry before entering the teaching pro­ fession. I t means that the school,


T


which until 1985 had a Jesuit as its head, will con­ tinue under lay direction. Mr Aylward’s appoint­


ment also confirms a trend being followed by an increasing number of inde­ pendent schools — having a head with proven achieve­ ment in both business and education. Mr Aylward (38), current­


ly a housemaster and a headmaster’s deputy a t Downside School, Bath,


HE newly appoint­ ed head of Stony- hurst College, the


by Sheila Nixon


will take up his appoint­ ment in September when Dr Giles Mercer moves to be head of Prior Park Col­ lege, Bath. Unlike most heads, however, Mr Ayl­ ward, after reading Greats a t Oxford, spent the first nine years of his career both in the City and indus­ try.


While still in his early thir­


ties, he made an unusual career switch and took what he wryly calls “the financially unsound” deci­ sion to follow the profession to which he felt he was increasingly being called: that of the schoolmaster.


After taking a PGCE in


religious studies at King's College, London Universi­ ty, and training a t RGS Guildford, he moved to Downside School where, in four years, he has had what can only be termed a mete­ oric rise to his present senior position.


Stonyhurst College, a 400- year-old Jesuit foundation, has been under lay direc­ tion since Dr Mercer’s appointment in 1985, unlike Downside School where the head is tradition­ ally a monk. Thus Dr Mer­ cer’s departure to Prior Park gives Mr Aylward the opportunity denied to him a t his present school: to


take over the headship of a ’ leading Catholic school ^ where he can bring to bear , his educational and man- l agement skills and lead it < into the next century.


i


Mr Aylward is married t and has two children.

the habit of always wanting more, and this means their house, car and furnishings never give them full sat­ isfaction. The paradox of being poor while in possession of wealth is large­ ly due to the fact that possessions demand a cons tant drain on resources for maintenance. Easily available credit cards lull their pos­ sessors into a false state of financial security. The plastic card is a sign of plenty in the bank's funds. Folk can forget that the only wealth available to them is limited to the amount credited to their name. When the bank balance shows that too many withdrawals have depleted our capi­
