Village despite


car park plan is thrown out officials


A PLAN for a car park,near


the village school in Gisburn was rejected after being com­ prehensively slammed by. a leading councillor. As reported last week, mem­


bers of the Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council Planning Commit­ tee were recommended by offi­ cials to approve the parish coun­


cil’s plan. They felt that the benefits to the


village outweighed the disadvan­ tages, and in their report repeated points made for an earlier meeting in June at which the plan had been


refused. * Planning consultant Mr Andrew

Cooking up a treat to say thank you to local store


PUPILS from Simonstone School made cakes and biscuits to thank Sainsbury’s for donat­ ing computers, books and other


equipment to their school. The donation is part of a nation­


wide campaign through which .cus­ tomers of the supermarket could nominate a school to receive goods. Simonstone was just one of a num­


ber of schools in the area to benefit, and the pupils were given ingredients and equipment from the food store to make the cakes and cookies. Our picture shows Simonstone
