Radio airing soon for stories by grammar school duo


A COMPETITION for local radio had a happy ending in more ways than one for a pair of 14-year-old Clitheroe Royal Grammar School


pupils. Beatrice Cross won the competition and


Guy Isherwood was third. The two went to Radio Lancashire's


Blackburn Studios and met actor John Thompson, of "Cold Feet" fame. The actor read out the prize-winning


stories. In the competition, entrants had to

When people think of unwanted hair, they usually imagine a lady with a moustache, but excess hair can occur anywhere on the face or body causing just as much embarrassment and distress.


For example, many women would not dream of putting on a skimpy dress without trotting down to the local salon for leg waxing. A spontaneous swim is out of the question if you ve forgotten to shave your bikini line or underarms. And it isn’t just a women’s problem! Many men suffer too with excess hair, too. They often lack the confidence to join a gym because of unwanted hair on their back or shoulders. Said Clinical Specialist Vanessa Ricioppo, RN BSc (HONS) Dip HE, “We have had some wonderful results. The most rewarding was a lady who suffered from arthritis and the only form of exercise she was able to do was swimming. She was so embarrassed by the unwanted hair on her bikini line that she had given up swimming completely. After a few treatments she now has started


to swim regularly again.” Parkview Private Clinic uses the most advanced form form of hair

removal available - Intense Pulsed Light to treat unwanted hair problems. The Ellipse I PL system is extremely quick so small


areas such as the upper lip,can be treated in seconds.


The system uses photothermolysis; photo (light), thermo (heat), lysis (destruction). This means that light is absorbed by the melanin (colour) in the hair and as it heats up, the hair follicle in which the hair grows is destroyed - no follicle, no regrowth!


In the past, lasers have been hailed as the ultimate form of hair removal, but because darker skins contain lots of melanin, the light energy used to heat up the hair needs to be pulsed through gently. This is only possible using an IPL system.


Clinical research has also shown Ellipse IPL system to be 8-9 times more effective than laser treatment. Jo Robinson, who runs a clinic on Harley Street was recently reported as saying “I believe we have the most effective, safest and most pain-free hair-removal treatment not only in the UK but in the world.”

Inspectors to rule on refusal of planning applications


SEVERAL plan n in g applications refused by


I Ribble Valley Borough Council recently are now the subject of appeals to the D ep a rtm en t of the Environment. None will be dealt with by public inquiries, howev-


| er. They will be decided by inspectors studying the paperwork submitted and


| then visiting the sites. Additional living accom­


modation, the rehousing of the swimming pool, change


of use of garage to a study and a new double garage are wanted at Woodend, Birdy Brow, Chaigley. Hamilton Associates are


appealing against a council decision that both pitches of the roof of a bam conver­ sion in Roman Road, Cow Ark, must be in the same colour of slate. At Brockhall Village,


refusals of a croquet lawn, a r t display space, and a "hot tub" rotunda are being challenged.


McDonalds want Valley outlet BIG MAC and fries could soon be the order of the day


for the Ribble Valley. Corporate burger giant McDonald's wants to move into


I the borough to take over a site at the entrance to the new' Enterprise Park business development, which is currently under construction off the A59 near Barrow. In a bid to secure its plot, McDonald's has submitted a


planning application to Ribble Valley Borough Council for an 85-seater restaurant and drive-through service port, which it says will create up to 60 jobs. The application is expected to come up for discussion by the council's Plan-1 [ ning Committee next month.
