plan was contrary to a policy which seeks to limit development in the open countryside to that needed for agricultural and forestry purposes or other appropriate uses; • and another says

Take care of mobile phones
MOBILE phone owners in the Ribble Valley are being urged to take care of their property by a local police chief. Insp. Bob Ford, of
Clitheroe police, said there is an increasing number of crimes where mobiles are being stolen. The most recent incident had occurred over the weekend, when a man's mobile, valued at £150, was taken after he had left it on a table at the Indian Plaza in Whalley Road, Clitheroe. "There is a lot of this

Possible benefits windfall
A BENEFITS windfall could be on the cards for certain widowers in Lancashire. The county's Welfare Rights Service has asked all
men who became widowers before April, 2001, to check their entitlements. A lump sum payment of at least £1,000 and weekly benefits could be the result of four test cases which begin on December 3rd. "It is important that all widowers act quickly so
that all the necessary paperwork can be completed in time," said County Coun. Niki Penney, cabinet member for communication, information and life long learning.

MEMBERS of Cli theroe's Rotary and Probus Clubs have paid tribute to cen tenarian Dr Cyril
Royle. They combined for a
joint lunch attended by 140 people a t Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn.
There were many
expressions of thanks for Dr Royle's contribution to the area. He joined the Rotary Club 42
years ago. A "Desert Island
Discs"-style interview conducted by Rotarian Trevor Roberts proved very effective. It helped
to reveal some of the doctor's past life - and his taste in music, which ranged from Tannhauser to the Mikado. Asked for his bes t
advice after 100 years of life, Dr Royle (pic tured) replied: "Never turn down an opportu nity."
