The highest figures in Lan­ cashire are for Blackburn, where 30.4 per cent have lit­ eracy problems and 32.8 have difficulties with numeracy. As part of the nationwide Skills for Suc­ cess strategy, a campaign to target illiteracy and innumeracy in Lancashire s adults will be introduced. Almost one in four adults


in the county aged between 16 and 60 is said to have a | problem with literacy, while 25.5 per cent experience dif­ ficulties with numbers.

Wrestling with an unusual subject


NO holds are barred when it comes to a wide field of trips out for pupils at St Marys Hall


oreDaratory school, Stonyhurst. P Staff and pupils are proud of such achievements as elite national-level rugby wins a n d choir performances


in both Roman Catholic and Anglican cat^ edra'®' . But they are supplemented by a mmd-broaden ng


programme aimed at learning about, and from, the world outside school.


Behind the scenes visits are a speciality. II"e one The one


where some of the pupils were entertained by Mrs Cherie Blair at 10 Downing Street is unlikely to be bet­


tered. but meetings with stars such as “ and Russ Abbott were supplemented when a St Marys party visited All American Star Wrestling at Burnley


“ youngsters, some local and some from places


across the world, are pictured with two of the visiting stars.


Valley residents invited to comment on county future


R E S ID E N T S in th e Ribble Valley are being asked to help shape the fu tu re development of Lancashire over the next


decade. The county council,


together with the unitary authorities of Blackburn with Darwen and Black­ pool, is asking people to comment on a document called "Challenges and


Changes". By looking at the chal­


lenges facing the county over the next 15 years, offi­ cials hope to find ways of


meeting them. The main aims are to make the coun­ ty an attractive place to live, work and visit, as well as preserving the character and commercial health of the region, improving the urban areas, protecting the countryside and boosting leisure and tourism oppor­


. . m i


tunities. "Lancashire is a county


of many contrasts, coast, moorland, hills and town, said County Coun. George Slynn. "The Structure Plan will set out the strategy for making our area a prosper­


ous and better place to live in the future. Gathering the views of the public is an important part of formulat­ ing these plans and I would urge people to get involved by looking through the doc­ ument and filling in the questionnaire. Remember this is your chance to have a say in the future." Both the report and
