MANY people have tried to come up with a suitable description for today's General Elec tion locally - it is a very
hard task. Interest is at a low point,
GANT-TAYLOR
A honeymoon in the Seychelles and Reunion in the Indian Ocean followed the wedding of a member of a well-known
local family at The Inn at Whitewell. Miss Helen Taylor, a computer programmer and daugh
ter of Mr and Mrs John Taylor, of Curlew Riggs, Gnndle- ' .
ton, married Ph.D. finalist Mr Simon Gant, son of Mr a n d Mrs Robin Gant, of Devon.
cynicism is on the increase and more people than ever before could well support apathy rather than any political party by simply not bothering to vote. Compared to previous
Ribble Valley contests, this one was certain to be a tame affair indeed right
The bride was given away by her father, a senior part mouth disease and its atten ner with solicitors Steele and Son, and wore a Grecian-
from day one. That was before foot and
style gown in ivory Thai silk. Her bouquet was of golden ro s e b u d s , freesia and trailing foliage plants. The bridesmaids were the Misses Nma Taylor, sister of
the bride, and Alex Smith, and they wore silk dupion malachite and ivory dresses respectively and carried bou quets similar to the bride's.

Faster removal of abandoned vehicles A FASTER method of moving abandoned vehicles off the streets is being adopted by Ribble Valley Borough Coun-
cii* There are about two complaints a week, though some
vehicles are removed by the owners. Members of the Com munity Committee heard that ones which are not will in future be picked up by a contractor very soon after the expiry of the seven-day warning notice the law requires to
be placed on the vehicle. Those which do have a registered owner will be the sub
ject of a different procedure involving the police.

Nigel Evans. Labour candidate Mr
Marcus Johnstone is an exceptionally experienced member of borough coun cils. He has been on Burn ley, is currently on Preston, and today asks Burnley voters to elect him to the county council as well as asking Ribble Valley ones to send him to Westminster. Mr Evans, meanwhile, has a key Tory role in his
native Wales. If he regains his seat and his leader, Mr Hague, becomes Prime Minister, Mr Evans could well be in the Cabinet. If not, Mr Evans is certain to continue as a key figure in

Whalley school is for its Christian ethos
AN "outstanding Chris tian ethos" is one of the numerous significant strengths of Whalley CE Primary School, says a church inspection
report. The school has a strong
ecumenical approach, with very good, strong and posi tive leadership by the head teacher, the strong support of the vicar and contribu tions of other clergy and Christian groups which
benefit the pupils. ■ The denominational
inspection was carried out
a t the same time as the OFSTED one at the end of
March. It found very good spiri
tual, moral and social devel opment at the school, with
some excellent features and good cultural development, very good behaviour and positive attitude s of the
pupils. The report goes on:
"There is a family atmos phere and pupils are secure in the school environment which helps their con- fiedence and self esteem to develop well. Pupils with special needs are well inte grated into the classroom."
excellent planning and preparation for lessons was seen. Time and resources are used very effectively and the village, the commu nity and the abbey next to the school are rich sources for cultural development and well used. But pupils have also learnt about Ger man culture through good use being made of work experience students from
Very good teaching and

that the school continue to provide further opportuni ties for cultural develop ment.

upgraded. Saturday's official open
