Plan for worker’s home is given the thumbs down


A PLEA for the construc­ tion of a farm worker's dwellirig has been turned down with great reluctance by councillors., - ’ Mr Kenyon applied for


the home to be built at Hesketh End Farm, Chip­ ping, so that a second full- tiriie worker was on hand to tend the dairy herd. Members of the Ribble


Valley Planning and.Devel- opmerit committee heard Mr Kenyon describe the long hours required to run the farm and how modern farming necessitated two workers living on site. He told councillors that


his father died suddenly 18 months ago and as his mother was still ocupying


the farm bungalow, anoth­ er building was needed. Coun. James Rogerson


(Longridge) said: "The hours worked means there


. is more requirement for farm workers living on site. .. Farmers need some encour-


, agement." -The chairman, Coun.


Richard Sherras (Gisburn and Rimington) said: "We're in quite a complicat­ ed situation here," as mem­ bers discussed the regula­ tions affecting such appli­ cations. However, while recognis­


ing the difficult situation at the farm, it was accepted that the application had to be refused.

Pickering was well known for his love of exchanging

0 you have “The Look"? For the next two weeks, East Lancashire Newspapers will be working head-


to-head with Manchester modelling agency Industry People to find our very own answer to Kate Moss and James Gooding. Our search starts today for boys,


men, girls and women with looks that will take them to the catwalks of Milan and the fashion shows of Paris. The two lucky winners will receive


representation from Industry People and an opportunity to see the world. What we want: For a chance to enter into the


glamorous world of modelling, all you have to do is send us two recent photographs of yourself. One should be a full length snap-shot and the


other a close-up head and shoulders picture. Industry People’s managing director, Martha


Poole, will be keeping a keen eye on the entries, looking for faces, figures and physiques that fit the bill.


’


Boys must be 18 to 28 years old, with a min­


imum height of 5ft 11 in and a maximum height of 6ft 2in. Girls should be 15 to 25 years old, with a


minimum height of 5ft 7in and a maximum height of 5ft 11 in. Martha is looking for enthusiastic, confident


individuals with a good complexion, good teeth, and, most importantly, a good attitude. “My philosophy is to create careers in the


modelling industry. It can be very lucrative. I have looked after many people who started off modelling while students and now many of those faces are now on our TV screens," she said. One of those faces is that of Simon Webb, of


boy band Blue fame. His modelling career with Industry People gave him the “All pise” to pop stardom. Another familiar face on Industry People's


books is Bamoldswick teenager Polly Brindle, who is already causing a sensation in the mod­ elling world. What you get: All the entrants will feature in-


the Clitheroe Advertiser on Thursday, October 24th, and in the Leader Times Newspaper titles and the Burnley Express the following day. Our readers will be given the chance, to vote


for their favourite would-be models in a fun phone-in competition. At the same time, Martha and fellow judge


Fiona Ritchie, from East Lancashire Newspa­ pers, will be choosing six female and six male finalists. . The group of 12 will have their hair styled,


make-up done by “The Woodland Spa” and have the opportunity to shine on camera, with shots being taken by "hayleylouise photography" at the “Crow Wood Leisure Complex” . All 12 finalists will then feature in the weekend newspapers. The two winners will receive representation


•from Industry People, with a portfolio made up of different photographs, hair and fashion make­ overs and A5. model cards which every model needs when going out on a casting. Plus a framed portrait ■ from "hayleylouise
