MEMBERS of the Rotary Club of Clith­ eroe are considering a "message in a bottle" ini­ tiative which might save the lives of vulnerable people in the Ribble Val­ ley.


The idea is to provide


the emergency services with vital information if they are called to the homes of the elderly or vulnerable. The informa­ tion is stored in a plastic bottle in the fridge and signalled by a green cross sign on the front window and the fridge. Rotarian Mr Jeff Rid­


ing said: "We are asking for advice before pro­ ceeding."

A GOOD cash boost will help improve bus services in a ru ra l a re a of th e Ribble


Valley. Funding totalling


almost £635,000 is being given by the Rural Bus Challenge to a scheme based in the Forest of Bowland aimed at reduc­ ing social isolation and boosting the area's rural economy. The financial handout


for the Bowland Transit scheme will he used to demonstrate how public tran sp o r t in sparsely


populated areas which have a strong tour ist potential can be operat­ ed by locals for the bene­ fit of both residents and visitors. A fleet of four


minibuses with cycle racks will be run by a not-for-profit company offering timetabled ser­ viced as well as charter and demand-responsive services. The scheme will also aim to support any growth in visitor num­ bers, as well as back the Countryside Agency's Quiet Roads and Green- ways initiative.
