Already, the majority of the square’s cabin traders have agreed to support the event by

Night. There is no reason why Clitheroe can­ not emulate this." Besides stalls, street enter­ tainers and local bands are being lined up to bring extra cheer, and.it is hoped that near-. by schools will supply’choirs of carol singers. Said Ribble Valley Borough Council's Mr James Russell, who is in charge,of the mar­

All we need is public support.” Mr Russell added th a t should the festive market prove a winner, he envisages i t1 becoming not only an annual occurrence, but one in a series of up to four special event markets held over the course of-

health s man tw<


FOLLOWING an inquest into the death of her 20-year-old son, a Clitheroe mother said the family felt badly let down by the health service. Steven John Wynne was treat­


ed for a methadone overdose at two hospitals but was, in fact, dying as a result of a fractured skull. A Blackburn inquest heard he a d j


was discharged from Blackburn Royal Infirmary and Blackpool Vic­ toria Hospital before returning to Blackburn Royal, where he eventu­ ally died. X-rays, which revealed a massive fracture of the skull, were not taken until he had collapsed unconscious at the hospital on his second visit. The Home Office pathologist who


earned out a post-mortem examina­ tion, confirmed that had the frac­ ture and bleeding in the brain been diagnosed sooner, it was possible something could have been done to prevent Mr Wynne’s death. Dr Jolm Rutherford told Steven's


family the symptoms which were presented to doctors at both hospi­ tals would have "set alarm bells nng- rng" with him. "I would have been very con­
