.-v . -•‘-A 10 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, April 13th, 2000 Road safety to come
first when new homes are being built
A COUNCILLOR has called for road safety measures to go hand-in- glove with housing development in Brook es Lane, Whalley. Coun. Joyce Holgate
(Whalley) told Ribble Valley Borough Council's Planning and Develop ment Committee that she saw no reason to refuse an application concerning a barn conversion - so long as certain conditions were taken on board. The application, which
was given the go-ahead, was for the development of three dwellings with gardens and garages at
Lawsonstead Bam. The meeting heard that
the parish council had expressed concerns about a possible increase in traffic along Brookes Lane, and difficult access into the
lane. A report before the com
mittee explained that agri cultural use of the farm buildings would cease on completion of the develop ment, ending the need for use by farm vehicles It was said that resurfac
ing of Brookes Lane, which was in a poor condition, was also one of the condi tions. But Coun. Holgate called
Weather stays fine for ramblers’ walk

Work starts on facelift for Ribchester’s playing fields
WORK has begun to transform the entrance to
Rochester's playing fields. The village Millenium Committee has now raised what
is seen as a splendid, but not quite target hitting, £28,000. Secretary Mrs Fiona Finch says: "We're very grateful to all the individuals and organisations involved for the sup
port given so far." A new path, seating area and yew hedging will provide
the setting for four stone carvings by sculptor Fiona Bow- ley, who recently held a series of workshops in the village. They will comprise a column, a sundial and two panels depicting Ribchester life past and present. Individual and business donations, some in memory of
villager Mr Norman Barton, so far total £6,800. The rest of the money has come from various bodies, including the Ribble Valley Borough Council, £5,000, the Foundation for Sport and Art, £4,000, and the Lancashire Environ mental Fund, £2,500. Smaller sums from various founda tions and funds make up the rest.

Weeding worry
INCREASING numbers of highway weeds and decreas ing funds to kill them are worrying Ribble Valley parish councils. Figures presented to a liai
son meeting suggested that Lancashire County Council is unlikely to help, but its area surveyor is to be asked to look into the matter.
Investing in staff and pupils alike
TEACHERS as well as pupils strive for excellence at St Augus tine's High School, Billington. Now the 71-strong staff team has achieved the prestigious national Investor in People

the award is based provides a framework for best practice in staff development and enables identifica tion and improvement of any areas
of weakness. Senior teacher Mr Phil Mooney says that the staff and the 1,000

pupils will all benefit from the award. "Our aim is to provide the best pos

More power for tenants
ordered local authorities to adopt Tenant Participation Compacts to ensure that all renters have opportunities to be involved in decision making. The council's Housing
Committee was told that adoption of the compact was necessary to qualify for housing finance for the area. Points included cover
housing services, standards of facilities for meetings, group formation and circula tion of information, and monitoring and assessment systems.
