STAFF members at the Clitheroe Branch of the Midland Bank did not "bank" on success when they were entered in an internal regional cus tomer service competi tion. But they ended up cash
ing in on their efforts by scooping a £500 reward to
donate to a charity of their choice, as well as winning individual prizes. The competition for the
high street bank chain's regional branches encour aged staff members to improve their performance levels across five different areas of customer service. In the Clitheroe branch's
case, they succeeded across all five, unlocking the win ning combination. They decided to donate
their money to the Clitheroe Caring for Carers' group, which seeks to give support to the people who care for their relatives and loved ones in their own homes. In addition to the donation, the branch has set up a display informing people about the group's
work. A delighted Clitheroe
branch manager, Mrs Bar bara Newton, said: "It is a great achievement for us because we are the fist branch in East Lancashire to win the award. We decid ed to give the money to Caring for Carers, because
it does a lot of good work for a wide range of people and it is an organisation that perhaps does not get the recognition that it deserves. Hopefully our dis play will help raise public
awareness." Our picture shows Mid

Footbridges plan is
welcomed
BOROUGH councillors have welcomed plans by Lancashire County Council to put two foot bridges over the junc tion of the Rivers Rib-
ble and Calder. The county council is
responsible for the work and for granting itself planning permission, though it need
ed to seek the views of Kib ble Valley Borough Council through its Planning and Development Committee. Concerns had been raised
by Lancashire Wildlife Trust and an adjoining landowner, as parts of the area offer a habitat for important birds and plants, but officials said that the addition of the bridges, both near the former Hack ing Ferry boathouse, would enhance the footpath net work and improve recre
ational facilities. A report submitted to the meeting by borough council
1 planning officers suggested I that the county council minimises the impact the construction work will have
on breeding birds. Chairman of the commit
tee, Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe), welcomed the proposals and said the foot-
I bridges would enhance the Kibble Way.

B fiB F cu sib in er s e r o t fS l iX E is M H S to re is sorry over poor
sh op p ers’ tag
CLITHEROE'S Tosco supermarket has caused an uproar with one local woman after a member of staff claimed money-off vouchers sent out to reward customers were only distributed to "poor
shoppers". Mrs Maggie Fielding, of
Grindleton, said she was "incensed" after visiting the Duck Street store to find that vouchers she thought were rewarding loyalty were only going to people with low shopping
bills. "I shop in Tesco's about
twice a week and was curi ous a few weeks ago when I saw a number of people at the check-out with these vouchers. I thought they had been sent out to regular shoppers, what with the new Sainsbury's supermar
ket in Clitheroe." Mrs Fielding, who is a
member of the Tesco Club- card Plus scheme, which rewards shoppers with dou ble points if they use it as a credit card, rang the Club- card phono line twice and was told a member of staff would contact her on each occasion. "I got fed up of waiting
for a reply," said Mrs Field ing, "so I called into the Clitheroe store. They gave me some vouchers, but I 1 couldn't believe the member
did or did not receive vouchers. Packs were sent to the Clitheroe store in case customers asked for them and we are sure that Mrs Fielding was given one of those packs."
' Commenting on the "poor shoppers" tag, the spokesperson said the com ments were an "unfortunate mistake" on the part of the cashier who dealt with Mrs Fielding. "We can only apologise to
our Clitheroe customers," he added.

of staff who said the bulk of them were only going out to
poor shoppers. "One of the people I
spoke to, who had received the vouchers, said ho spent £100 a week. I am sure he, and other local people, won't be very happy to be classed as poor shoppers." A spokesperson for Tosco

Extension for bedrooms is approved
PLANNING permis sion for a garage exten
sion to create two addi tional bedrooms at a property in Kemple View in Clitheroe has
been granted. Members of the Kibble
Valley Borough Council Planning and Development Committee agreed to the application, after planning officials felt that the exten sion would not result in a loss of light or privacy, fears put forward by a neigh-
I bouring resident, as there would be a substantial-sized
garden area between the
properties. A report submitted to the
meeting read: "As the extension will be located on top of the existing garage, it will not be extending the property any closer to near by residents. Those close neighbours who will be able to see the development will, therefore, still be a good dis tance away and should not suffer any adverse effects."
