Councillors welcome big grants boost for the Ribble Valley


GRANTS for parts of the Ribble Valley totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds


were welcomed by councillors. As previously report- more accessible to resi-


ed, the money is coming


.from the Single Regener­ a tio n Budget pro­ gramme, and to ta ls £3.7m. over seven years [pr the ru ra l are a s of N o r th and E a s t Lan­ cashire. I t will be administered


by the Community Coun­ cil of Lancashire. : Members of the Ribble


Valley Borough Council Policy and Finance Com­ mittee heard that four of the 10 community clus­ ters, round which regener­ ation will be p a r t- financed by the money, are in the borough - based on Chipping, Chatburn, Gisburn and Slaidburn. Services to be made


dents include education and training, healthcare, childcare, and informa­ tion technology. Each cluster will have a com­ munity resource centre Chief Planning Officer


Mr Stewart Bailey point­ ed out that the benefits of the scheme would be felt, indirectly, in other parts of the valley. Only a small proportion


of the money will be available in this financial year. • Several committee members commented that there had been a sense of unfairness in the past when neighouring author­ ities received money and the Ribble Valley did not.

pine wood. "It was humid as we


went up Hog Law Pike, but again thickening clouds prevented us from seeing the expansive views," said Mr Bowles. They crossed a heather-


into Shooter's Hill Clough and carefully crossed the


stream. ' "As we climbed up the


hill on the other side, Ilod- dlesden came into view 4nd then we lunched at a lovely wayside inn, called 'Old Rosins'," said Mr Bowles. ’ The walk continued


clad moor and entered a woodland valley leading to the Rossendale VIay, with views of Calf Hey and Ogden reservoirs - and then crossed a dam and returned to Clough Head. The next Tuesday walk,


led by Hath Kennerley, will be based on Slaidburn. More details may be obtained by telephoning 01282 773159.
