HAD AN


Barn is given the go-ahead


A PLANNING inspector disagreed with Eibble Valley Borough Council about the "intrinsic value"


of a bam. - After a public inquiry,


Inspector Ruth MacKenzie allowed an appeal into the council's refusal of permission for residential conversion of: one of three, barns a t Higher Standen Hey Farm, Whalley Road, Clith-eroe.


: One of the barns already has permission and another is the sub­ ject of a current applica­ tion. The one involved in the appeal was not con­ sidered by the council to be worthy of retention and i t maintained that

the landscape. But the inspector felt


that the bam had enough features to bestow suffi­ cient intrinsic interest to warrant retention. Although built in brick


in 1914, i t had a stone front - perhaps the rem­ nant of an earlier build­ ing— and had brick arch­ es and curved brickwork.


A TYRE on a Ford Escort van parked in Highfield Road, Clitheroe, was slashed causing damage val­ ued at £40. The incident took place


between Friday evening and Saturday morning. Police are investigating.


The three barns formed an attractive group, and converting the one in question would make minimal difference to the landscape and mean visual benefit by the removal of two semi­ derelict buildings. If the bam, which was


not suitable for business use, was allowed to become derelict, it would not have a significance for the wider landscape. But it could threaten the future viability of this historic grouping of agri­ cultural buildings and its

the council's concerns about the setting of a precedent, but said that applications had all to be treated on their own mer­ its.

could be imposed would overcome the objections to the proposal, it failed planing policy require­ ments and so the appeal would be dismissed.

C o u ld y o u b e a v o lu n te e r PAL?


VOLUNTEERS a re being sought to help run a new care and advice service for local patients receiving treatment at Blackburn Royal Infir­ mary and Queen's Park Hospital. The service, the Patient Advice and Liai­


son Service (PALS), was launched in December by Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley NHS Trust as part of a govern­ ment initiative to improve standards of care within the NHS. All tru s ts are required to have similar schemes in place by April. PALS is designed to


provide patients, their families and carers with information on health, local health resources, support and voluntary


groups. I t is also tasked with resolving problems and concerns and inform­ ing people of complaints procedures. Currently, PALS help


desks in the two hospitals are open from 9-30 a.m. to 12-30 p.m. on week­ days, but its paid officers want to extend these hours to 4-30 p.m. To do so, they require volunteer support. Anyone wanting to


volunteer will be asked to work a minimum of two and a half hours per fort­ night. They will be given full training, receive back-up from a supervi­ sor and be able to claim expenses. For further information, telephone 01254 294060 and ask for PALS co-ordinator Mrs Elizabeth Matthews.


Valley will feature in latest TV special


A TELEVISION person­ ality from the North East is making a film about the


Ribble Valley. It will be screened in the


Tyne Tees Television series "Rack and Boot" and will stray from its usual area to look at vari­ ous features of the Valley. Presenter Mr Eric Rob­


son is making plans to cover quite a lot of ground, though it is not known when the pro­ gramme will be seen. Mr Robson has been


prompted to visit with a film crew, possibly on Feb­


ruary 17th and 18th, by a letter from Mr Mel Diack,


ofWhalley. Mr Diack has been


prominent in the cam­ paign to refurbish the ancient lay brothers’ dor­


mitory a t Whalley and has since been involved with other local issues too.


Clitheroe Castle trees and the area’s ancient, but sometimes neglected,


These include, the


wells. "I am delighted th a t


this programme will be highlighting some of the many ancient buildings in the Ribble Valley which need financial assistance," says Mr


Diack. . "The programme will


hopefully give a much- needed boost to the local economy, with viewers seeing what the Ribble Valley has to offer." Mr Diack is helping


with suggestions for the programme's itinerary. They include not only the dormitory, the Castle and the wells but also Whal­ ley Abbey itself, Stony- hurst College, Ribchester


. Museum and Cromwell's Bridge.
