been a very successful and rewarding excercise, main­ taining and restoring human dignity," compli­ ments the report, which has come out more than nine months after the end of the period with which it


deals. It points out how the tra­

SET to wow audiences next month with a twist to the original tale of the ever popular "Cin­ derella" is Clitheroe Youth Theatre's production. Rehearsals are going well, with more than 40 young


people regularly turning up to the Monday evening sessions.


A spokesperson for the youth theatre said: "Our ver­ sion of Cinderella will be unconventional, but it promises

Kibble Valley is a very positive place to live - that’s official


BOTTOM of the negative tables - and top of the positive


tion of the Ribble Valley in the Lancashire County Council's Eco­ nomic Situation Report. It runs to June 1998, but there is no rea­ son to think the situation has changed much since. The main measuring indicator, the


ones! That is again the happy situa­


index of local deprivation, again sees the Ribble Valley with a zero score - it has hardly any of the negative points seen elsewhere. They assess features such as house values, educa­ tional attainment, overcrowding and benefit claimant numbers and give Burnley and Preston 17 degrees,

Ribble Valley - 3.3 per cent of fami­ lies is headed by one, compared to 3.4 in the Fylde, 7.9 in Burnley, and near­ ly seven in Preston and Hyndburn. Some 7.4 per cent of the Ribble Val­ ley's 20,000 households receive hous­


ing benefit, with 9.9 per cent in Wyre, 44,000 households and just over 21 per cent in Burnley, which has 36,000 households and Preston, 54,000 households. Single people living alone account


for 27 per cent of households - Pre­ ston has the highest figure, 31.7, and South Ribble the lowest, 23.5. The report forecasts that the popu­


lation of the Ribble Valley will have risen to 53,600 by the year 2003, against the 1991 census figure of 52,100. The report highlights the large agri­


cultural resource base in the county, of which the Ribble Valley is a key part. It also mentions the extensive areas


of beautiful countryside - and a strong and resilient industrial culture.
