sculptor Fiona Bowley carried out much research before she came up with the 32 carved images which most reflect the colourful past of Ribchester and the area. Scenes range from
Celtic knotwork anti hurdles, to Romans, wild boar and deer, St Wilfrid and Earl Tostig, the "Great Pestilence" of 1349, a mill in the 1940s and even a modern child. Her previous two
works are a sandstone sundial and a panel ent i-
tled "The Pig, the Rib- ber and the Devil.” The fourth and final
carving will, it is hoped, be installed before the
end of the year. This one will cele
brate the village and its traditions of community service, while looking to the future. The area, on the cor
ner of Church Street, has been re-paved and yew trees have been planted. The work has been
paid for by the National Lottery Fund through
the Arts Council of Eng land, with a donation from Booths Supermar
ket.

Groups asked to help reduce
waste mountain COMMUNITY groups in the Ribble Valley are being invited to "Talk Rubbish" with the
county council. Each Lancashire
household produces around a ton of rubbish every year and Lan
cashire County Council, along with the district arid unitary authorities, is keen to work with groups to explore ways to help tackle this.
n The county council's
new Waste Minimisation Team is offering help to groups across the county to establish projects to reduce, reuse or recycle rubbish in a bid to tackle Lancashire's growing mountain of waste. To develop links with
these groups, the team will be hosting a commu nity recycling conference on October 30th, where groups will be able to "Come and talk rubbish", at County Hall in Pre
ston. Speakers from local

and national projects will give presentations on topics such as fund ing, setting up new schemes and the help the Waste Minimisation Team can offer. Groups will also have the oppor tunity to meet each other to exchange infor mation and talk about what has worked for them in the past, and
what has not. There is already a

ber for Community and Regeneration, said: "The community holds the key to the waste problem. That is why we are ask ing groups that already have schemes in place, or that want to develop new projects, to collect recy clable materials from households to talk with
us." Waste Minimisation
Project Officer Clare I Atkinson explained: "We are keen to hear from anyone in Lancashire 1 interested in setting up projects that look to reduce, reuse or recycle rubbish in their local environment. The Waste Minimisation Team can offer advice about fund ing, business plans, work ing with local councils, involving local communi ties and what works else- 1
where."
Industrial development extension described as a step too far is refused
A PLAN to extend an industrial development
at Whalley Industrial Estate, Barrow, was too big, decided coun
cillors. Ribble Valley Bor
ough Council Planning and Development Com mittee refused the appli cation for seven work shop units with an addi tional floorspace of 1,400
sq metres. The plan was turned
down, despite support from Coun. Frank Goss (Sabden), who told the committee it was a case
of a number of small businesses who wanted
to expand. The cost of relocating
would be prohibitive. He said if the plan was
allowed it would make the jobs already there
secure, and also create a small number of new
jobs. But Coun Graham
Sowter (Billington) said: "It is enormous and visu ally intrusive. It is a step too far." And Coun Mrs Joyce Holgate (Whal ley), added: "This is not a small-scale develop ment. It will intrude into open countryside."
