THE communities of Billington, Langho and surrounding villages came together for a Millennium party at the weekend. The action got under way with a proces­


sion of floats which made its way from Langho, via Old Langho and Billington, to the playing field at St Augustine's RC High School. Among the many organisations which had decorated floats were Billington Youth Club, Langho Methodist Church, St Mary's Guides, Brownies and Rainbows and Mytton Fold Golf Club. The Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun.


Chris Holtom, had the difficult task of judging the floats, and the Millennium Committee Prize was awarded to St Mary's Brownies for their float, which looked for­ ward to the next Millennium and featured space exploration. An additional award was also presented to Langho and Billington WI for its float which depicted women


through the ages. Following the parade, members of the


Langho and Billington Millennium Com­ mittee had arranged a packed programme of activity for the residents of the two vil­ lages, together with members of the com­ munity from Old Langho, Dinckley, Brock-


hall and York to enjoy. As well as music from members of the

getting together for a good bit of Millenni­ um fun," said the Rev. Steve Cooper, chair­ man of the organising committee. "The event was organised by a committee drawn from all different groups who put a huge amount of work in to make it happen. "We have had very good reactions from


the community about the day. I t was a very happy event for all the family and we were lucky with the weather and with the petrol situation. Our thanks must go to St Augustine's who made the event possible because it was difficult to find a big enough


place to hold the party.” Our photograph shows members of the

port today. The Minister will be in town to formally open Clitheroe's innovative


new bus and rail interchange. The Interchange has been success­


fully integrating local bus and rail ser­ vices for people travelling across the county since it opened in March this


year. A new state-of-the-art control cen­


tre has been built next to the railway station to co-ordinate journeys by


train and bus. With facilities to store bicycles and a sizeable car park at the rear, local residents can now make entirely car free journeys.__________


The project is a partnership


between Lancashire County Council, the DETR, the Countryside Agency, Ribble Valley Borough Council, the East Lancashire Partnership and public transport operators. The rural quality bus route won a


Rural Bus Challenge grant of £273,000 to improve access and infor­


mation on local services. The county council's Highways


Committe chairman, County Coun. Richard Toon, said: "A visit from the Minister really gives the Interchange the prestige it deserves. We have put the Government’s vision of integrated transport into practice in the Ribble Valley and it is working very well." Agreement has now been reached with transport operators using the


Interchange for the introduction of through fares between train and bus. Two schemes are planned for intro­ duction early next year. During today’s visit, the Minister


will be briefed on the East Lancashire Rapid Transit Scheme for integrated public transport. He will also meet members of a Government-funded "secure transport" initiative, a com­ munity-led scheme to reduce crime and the fear of crime on public trans­ port, th a t has been surveying the Clitheroe-Manchester railway route. Mid-morning, the Minister will


take a look at the bus route facilities in Waddington and West Bradford before returning to Clitheroe for the formal opening of the interchange at


11-45 a.m.
