‘Airline’ girls steal the show - but incident - - - '


Ayesha doesn’t hit the right note * ' ' Julie Frankland reports


A SOARING debut kept TV viewers fas­ tened to their seats when Clitheroe’s latest silver screen star scored a fly-away suc­


cess. Clerical assistant Jane


King (18), of Henthorn Road, and childhood pal Ayesha Keighley, of Great Harwood, stole the show when they appeared in ITV's new fly-on-the- wall documentary on the ups and downs of crew and passengers flying Britannia Airlines. Shot last August, the

last- minute booking for the friends, who were con­ tacted by programme pro­ ducers after Jane replied to an advertisement in a local newspaper, one week before


they were due to fly. The advertisement


prime-time programme followed the girls as they took off for a week's "hot" holiday in Ibiza's party resort of San Antonio, where Ayesha (18), also auditioned for a spot as a hotel singer. For the screening, the

Regulator for Rail


THE Rail Regulator, Mr John Swift QC, was involved in a near miss en-route to a Ribble Valley Rail engagement


in


Clitheroe. Bricks thrown a t the


front of the North West passenger train, on which'


he was travelling in the driver's cab, shattered the


window. Mr Swift, the rail con­


sumers' champion, was travelling on the footplate when, between Darwen and Blackburn, two bricks were hurled at the driver's cab as the train went under


abridge. There were no injuries.


The driver stopped the train and Mr Swift later paid tribute to his patience


and courage. "We left Manchester


this year, Jane says she already has a reservation for a trip to Corfu with another pal in May but, come summer, she's hoping to be jetting off with Neil, leaving Ayesha to serenade other friends! Jane, is pictured left,


with Ayesha, relaxing on holiday.


Being mobile - that’s the secret of school company’s success

TEAMWORK is defi­ nitely the key to suc­ cess, according to


Infinity, the Young Enterprise company from Clitheroe's Rib- blesdale High School. The team of 25 Year


11 pupils proved their theory right recently when they won the Hyn- dburn and Ribble Valley Area Board's Interim Presentation, held at the Rhyddings High School, Oswaldtwistle. Infinity, which has cre­


ated and manufactured a selection of quality mobiles described as "timeless gifts and end­ less memories", built its presentation around the importance of teamwork, citing it as the company's main strength, and high­ lighted what it has achieved so far through


Traffic-calming fight seems lost


OBJECTORS to housing devel­ opment behind Railway View, Billington, looked likely yester­ day to have failed in a last-ditch bid to stop traffic calming mea­ sures being implemented. The measures are part of the


remained concerned and insisted that the road will not be safer and that people will be disadvantaged because of the new houses. The report to the county meet­


planning conditions imposed on the developers by Ribble Valley Borough Council - but are the responsibility of county council­ lors, who were yesterday recom­


mended to approve them. A meeting of Lancashire Coun­


ty Council Highways and Trans­ portation Committee had before it an officers' report which set out to answer the objections of resi­ dents - most of which had been dealt with also at various Ribble Valley Borough Council Planning Committee discussions. Some members and officials of


both councils have made little effort to disguise their pleasure that the road through Billington will be safer due to improvements paid for by a housing developer. But several councillors have


ing said that the objectors stated that the measures were only being proposed to allow the develop­ ment. This is true, says the report but it adds: "it is also seen as an opportunity to provide improve­ ments to road safety which could not otherwise be provided at this


time." There are different views in


Billington about the best location for the zebra crossing, but the report says it has been chosen to provide a link between the Post Office and existing housing and located to optimise its conspicu-


ity. Footway build-outs are also


objected to, but the report insists that they will improve conditions for pedestrians and improve access to the various parts of the local community. Vehicle speeds should be reduced.

Council ‘no’ on churchyard


BIG money is involved in churchyard maintenance, indi­


cates a council report. I t could cost as much as


£20,000 to ensure that the memo­ rials at Whalley Parish Church are in a safe condition, suggests the report. And £11,000 needs spending on rebuilding some of the graveyard walls and re-point­


ing others. Legal responsibility for look­


ing af ter the graveyards of Anglican churches which no longer can have new burial plots dug falls, after formalities have been completed, on the local parish council. It can pass it on to the borough council if it acts


quickly enough. Some years ago Whalley and


Little Mitton Parish Council decided to take on the mainte­ nance of the parish church yard - but now it is asking the borough to do it instead, because of the heavy burden being placed on Whalley council tax payers.


But Director of Legal Services Mr Paul Timson recommended


this week's meeting of the bor­ ough Community Committee to refuse the request, at least for the coming year. In his report Mr Timson says: "The borough coun­ cil has no budget provision for the maintenance of Whalley church­ yard in 1998-9, whereas the parish council has presumably made allowance for this in its precept for


1998-9." It could be said it would be fair­


er for the cost to be borne by the whole of the Ribble Valley, as it is at Clitheroe and Chipping church­ es, rather than just by Whalley, said Mr Timson. But the decision to take on the work was a deliber­ ate one by the parish council and it could be argued that it now has


to live with it. Experience at the other two


churches shows that graveyards can be very expensive to main­ tain, he pointed out.
