parties is to be arranged in the near future. Coun. Whalley reported


on the success of the jubilee celebrations and complaints had been received about the state of the youth shelter. PC Paul Sherratt asked


people to be on their guard as stone and flag thieves were about and a few days earlier thieves had stolen 40 yards of coping stones from Whins Lane, Simon- stone. He asked people to take the registration num­ bers of any parked vehicles in outlying areas. The Environment


Agency is to be contacted about the state of the brookside which most members felt was an eye­ sore A resident of Whalley Road had asked if the old village toilets could be made into a residents' only car park. But the clerk pointed out that it was a Ribble Valley Council deci­ sion and the village school- had been given first option on the site. It was agreed to ask the


county council why the gateway signing to Sabden which should have been completed by April is still not in place. The county is also to be asked to put drainage at the bottom of the ramp to the Jubilee Bridge, which floods in bad weather. Councillors agreed in


principle to a request to place two memorial bench­ es in the village in memory of the late Mrs Elsie Jack- son. The request was from


her daughter. The next parish council


meeting will be on Tues­ day, August 6th.

CO-OPERATION towards finding the cure for cancer was successful in more ways than one when a summer ball was held at Mytton Fold


Hotel, Langho. The Cancer Research


Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund have amalgamated to form Cancer Research UK. The ball, which they


estimate will result in around £1,200 being raised, was a joint effort by the Burnley District


and Ribble Valley Com­ mittee of Cancer Research UK with the Darwen Committee. Darwen chairman


Mrs Susan Whalley said: "It was a very suc­ cessful evening. Those who missed it missed out on a very good evening." Music came from the


Boomerang Band and an auction and a raffle boosted. Our picture shows


some of the revellers. (T100602/1)


House prices rise far faster than rural incomes


A REPORT, published by the Countryside Agency has highlighted housing difficulties in rural areas. The agency states


that reduced council- owned housing stocks and an increase in holi­ day homes have exacer­ bated the problems for rural communities which already exist through high costs of houses. In its latest State of


the Countryside 2002 report, it shows how house prices have risen far faster than rural incomes. Significantly, a high proportion of rural people (5 7% ) have to commit more than half their income to mort­ gage costs, which is near­ ly double the proportion of urban residents


(32%). Rural advocate and


agency chairman Mr Ewen Cameron said: "We have been highlight­ ing for some time the lack of affordable homes in rural England. The countryside could become the preserve of the wealthy, threatening the whole nature of rural communities and the viability of services." Other issues facing


rural residents were also reported, including an urban lack of under­ standing of these issues, the crime rates and the decrease in the number of post offices. Rural wages are lower,


and there is a generally higher level of education but a lower level of access to NVQ training. The full report is available on the agency's


website wwvv.country- side.gov.uk.


Councils could help with rail group’s insurance


IT seems that two councils may help Ribble Valley Rail with insurance costs.;


for the 15 involved has gone up from i:£280<


As recently reported in the Adver­ ‘ '.' - ; ^ ;


tiser and Times, the rail pressure group's work to keep up the appear­ ance of the four stations in the Valley hit the buffers because the insurance premium increased dramatically. Now Lancashire County Council


and_ Ribble Valley Borough Council, who both greatly value the group's work, are expected to meet most of the costs between them. The insurance company will only

side of the stations. It includes main­ taining hanging baskets, cutting grass, washing, sweeping, removing graffiti, picking up litter and painting railings and platform edges. A report to Ribble Valley council­


lors emphasises the value of the work, especially in creating a good first impression to people travelling to the


area by train. The possibility of making an annual


cover named people and the premium contribution is to be considered.
