THE vicar of a rural Ribble Valley commu nity has been granted permission to build a small sheep pen in the rectory garden, despite pa ri s h c o u n c i l
reservations. R ib b le V a l le y Borough
C o u n c i l ’ s P la n n in g and D e v e lo pm en t C ommitte e approved the application for the erection o f a sheep pen at the R e c to r y , S aw le y Road, Grindleton, fo r the Rev. David Mewis, subject to two conditions.
Permission should be for the
benefit of Mr Mewis only and not for the benefit of the land or any
other person or persons, whether or not they had_ an interest in the land, and that the building and any ancillary works and structures should be removed on or before April 24th, 2000, and the site restored to its former condition, unless the per mission was renewed. The parish council had i expressed reservations about the
application for an agricultural building within a domestic curti
lage and with regard to the per manent nature of the proposed construction.
Mr Mewis explained that his
family had kept sheep for three years and currently has four cross-bred sheep, which are kept in a field at the side of the Rec tory and effectively keep the grass down. The sheep pen
would enable the animals to be penned in during lambing.

Nicer aspect after path diversion
DIVERTING a footpath could lead to walkers enjoying a nicer aspect.
That was the view of
Ribble Valley Borough Council’ s countryside officer, about the diversion o f footpath No. 30 at Bolton-by-Bowland.
Members of the council’s
P lanning and D e v e l opment Committee heard that the diversion order had been initiated by Lan cashire County Council’s Surveyor’s Department with the agreement of the landowner, Bolton Park Estate.
At the original crossing
o f Skirden Beck, the course of the water had changed on previous occa sions and it was thought that it may do so again, undermining the founda- t io n s o f a n y n ew footbridge.
A site for a new foot
bridge had been identified and a d iv e rs ion was
required.

FENTON — BERRY
A couple who are to live in Gisbum began married life with a wedding at the B la ck sm ith ’ s F o rg e , Gretna Green. The bride, a secretary
at Gissing and Lonsdale Ltd, Barnoldswick, was Miss Sharon Elaine Berry, the daughter of Mr Keith Berry and Mrs Shirley Hanson, of Barnoldswick. The bridegroom, a dry-

father, the bride wore an ivory-coloured off-the- shoulder gown made by the bridegroom’s mother,
which featured a lace and diamante bodice. She car ried a-trailing bouquet of maroon and ivory roses. The bridesmaids were
Miss Olivia Twigg and Miss Katie Berry, who wore dresses also made by the bridegroom’s brother, featuring a maroon and ivory floral print, maroon sashes and ballet shoes. They wore toning floral headbands and carried baskets of flowers to match the bride’s bouquet. All the floral arrange
ments were made by the bride’s sister-in-law. The dame of honour was
Mrs Kirsten Wright. Best man was Mr John
Lund and the pageboy was Master Adam Twigg. The ceremony was car
ried out by the Rev. E. Bristow, and a reception' followed at the Gretna Hall Hotel. The couple later left for a honeymoon in Majorca and are to live in T ra v e l le r s Court,

C30wner and developer Mr James Warhin-tmi calls the concent a brand-
new shopping experience. He says it is a first for the Ribble Valley, although it has been tried and tested in many
bigger towns and cities. Mr Warburton (32), who has been
running an art gallery in Waddington for the past 18 months, said the oppor tunity to start the business was. one that he could not miss. He said: ‘When the Methodist Chapel came on the mar ket, I realised its potential and bought
the building immediately.” Mr Warburton will also manage the
new complex and he says the units will be rented by specialist retailers who will sell their own stock. The store opens to the public on May
17th, though an official opening is planned for May 24th.

A GESTURE in memory of a former workmate resulted in a donation of £503 to the Christie Hospital.
Employees of Lappet
M an u fa ctu rin g Co., Lowergate, Clitheroe, were devastated when one of their colleagues, Jessie Riley, died last year.
She had been a patient
at the Manchester hospital for six months and her friends and workmates
decided to organise a char ity football match at Roe- field in her memory.
The proceeds were pre
sented to hospital repre sentative Jacky Plant and are to be divided equally between lung cancer research and patient
amenities. Jacky Plant is pictured
