Council refuses to put brake on MoT centre plan
COUNCILLORS have given the green light to a new vehicle repair and MoT centre in Clitheroe -
despite a recommendation for refusal by planning officers. The m a tte r concerned
an application from Mr and Mrs A. Nestor for the change of use of a taxi depot in Victoria Street to the proposed centre. There was one letter of
objection from a nearby res ident, who expressed con cerns about an MoT centre generating more traffic than the taxi business - and fears for the safety of chil dren and the elderly. Meanwhile, council offi
cers recommended refusal on the grounds th a t the proposed use would "give rise to noise and d is tu r bance to the detriment of
nearby residents". Mr Nestor, who spoke
during the public participa tion session, said he had spent a lot of money on bringing the property up to a high standard and under no circumstances would he want to upset the residents. The committee heard
that the owner intended to operate the business between set hours, unlike a taxi operation. Councillors voted to
approve the application, as long as conditions govern ing business hours and own ership were agreed at the next committee meeting.
Pupils are entertained with plenty of Offbeat Tales
SENSES and sounds were project which had been used to tell a series of sto- commissioned by Lan-
Ties at Whalley CE Prima ry School on Friday. During the afternoon, the
Northumberland-based trio, Offbeat Tales, held a story workshop in the Church Lane school for Year 6 youngsters. The group, which com
prised sto ry te lle r Chris Bostock and musicians Bridget Enever and Gra ham Raine, was visiting the Ribble Valley as part of a
cashirc’s Rural Touring Network Spot On, in part nership with On Tour North Yorkshire and North Pennine Highlights. The afternoon workshop
ended with all the Key Stage Two children coming together to hear a North American legend. The Year 6 youngsters joined in by providing the appropriate meteorological sound effects.
Health studio owner Vicki’s new venture with town cafe
A HEALTH studio owner has been given the go-ahead to add a new venture in Clitheroe town centre to her name. Mrs Vicki Lee's applica
tion for the change of use of a shop at 7/9 Castlcgate to a cafe was approved - with certain conditions - by Rib ble Valley Council’s Plan ning and Development Committee, despite four letters of objection. Objectors said the change would lead to loss of charac
ter of the area and threaten the vitality of the town. They also said tha t there were already too many cafes in the locality and there would be loss of trade for similar businesses. The committee stipulat
ed th a t business hours should be between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and th a t the development should be for a cafe and no other purpose - and there could be no take away facilities.
They were arrested after a chase involving the police helicopter ended with the use of a tyre-deflating stingei on

Mixed bag of weather
for March
THE first week of March was a continuation of the unsettled weather of February. The second and seventh were very wet days, with over an inch
of rain on each day. The mild weather continued
to the middle of the month when notherly winds brought drier weather for the rest of the month, the only exception being on the 23rd, when half an inch of rain was measured. Despite the mild sunny days, there were some cold nights with a few degrees of frost. The wind chill factor was in
evidence during the last week, with cold, north-easterly winds. Total rainfall was 118.2 mm.

TH E la s t words in House of Commons child safety debate went to Rib ble Valley MP Mr Nigel
Evans. He wound up proceedings
by calling on the Govern ment to take action against
Romanian gypsies and other asylum immigrants in the UK using their children for begging. Said Mr Evans: "This issue affects the whole of British society and, more importantly, it goes against every law we have to protect the rights of children. "When we see beggars
lying in the streets, using their children in an attempt to gain sympathy from the public, we are rightly dis gusted. Children must not be used and abused in this way. I t is fundamentally wrong and something must be done immediately."

BRINGING HISTORY
$ Making A59 roundabout safer WORK to make the Langho roundabout on the A59 safer
is now under way. Contractors for the Highways Agency have moved in
and will spend an estimated 10 weeks on the £200,000 scheme, which involves altering the approaches to the roundabout to slow traffic. The improvements, which will be carried out off-peak to minimise disruption to motorists, have been specially designed to work around roadside trees to ensure that as many as possible can be preserved.
Life of an extraordinary woman is celebrated at packed church
THE family of Mrs Annice Hailwood joined together with friends at Trinity Methodist Church, Clitheroe, to celebrate a wonderful life of
care and service. The Rev. Richard Atkinson and
members of the family paid tribute to an extraordinary woman, remembered with love and pride. As a young qualified nurse,
Annice Downham travelled to China to marry missionary the Rev. Richard Hailwood, from Ilel- lifield, a childhood friend. After some time in the mission field in the Shanghi area, Annice
had to leave on a gunboat with her baby son, Roger. She left husband Richard behind, working with the refugees of the Sino-Japanese Con flict. They were eventually reunit ed in Hong Kong and returned to England on leave. The upsurgance of Mao and
Communism ended their intentions to return to China and the mission field. They served in the Methodist Church in Lancashire, Yorkshire and East Anglia before Richard's death in Sudbury in 1961. Mrs Hailwood returned to
Clitheroe with six children and became involved with Wesley Methodist Church, the church of
her childhood. Many will remem ber the work she did with young
wives' groups at the church. She carried on with her nursing
through the schools until her retire ment. The Women's In s titu te played a large part in her life, as did Oxfam, who rewarded her on her 90th birthday with a certificate for
30 years' service. Mrs Hailwood died peacefully in
Clitheroe Hospital. She is survived by her sister,
Bertha Bradshaw, and children Roger, Richard, Christine, Roland, Rodney and Tony, their wives and 19 grandchildren and six great - grandchildren, all of whom are
proud of the example and support of a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who had a strong faith and lived by it to the end of her 90 years.
