These are complaints repeated and i from time to time in a number of


aces, and the authority's excuse is rmally shortage of manpower used by lack of funding.

There was obviously no shortage of nding nor manpower in the Ribblje Hey during the BNP rally. Someone an ivory tower obviously made h ision about policing in the Ribble lley that weekend.


. :l What about making a similar deci-


~n to cope with raids from out-of- wn thieves, weekend drunkenness, olence, organised shoplifting, graffiti tists and the vandalism which besets e area almost daily? Perhaps, like most Government ese days, it is all about profile.

Warning over candle danger after town bedroom blaze


A WARNING never issued by Clitheroe's


to leave a burning candle unattended has been fire-fighters. It comes after they


were called to a bedroom blaze at a house in Pim­ lico Road, Clitheroe'. The occupier had l it ’a


then gone downstairs. A ground floor smoke


detector alerted those in the property to the fact a fire had broken out in the bedroom, but by then the blaze was well alight, according to Sta­ tion Officer Mr Dave McGrath, r It took members of his


team two hours to deal with the fire, with four crew having to be use


and a third floor attic was extensive. Station Officer


McGrath said: "Burning candles should never


scented candle in an^Vever be*left unattended upstairs bedroom and ’ Another important safe-


ty point is that.smoke alarms should also be fit­ ted on every level of a property. This house is three storeys, but hason-


. ly a ground floor alarm. Had there been upstairs alarms, the occupiers would have been aware of the.fire sooner, which may. have prevented some of the damage


, from occurring." •Anyone wanting ad


breathing apparatus, to, .uvice; on.,fitting smoke reach the:-bedroom, alarms should telephone Damage to the upstairs .01254 262721. •


ANOTHER report is being compiled about Whal- ley. ■.


Another look to future .


. It will be a professipnal-style one containing views of experts as well as_of local_people about the way ahead.


............ .. The several thousand pounds cost is coming from


special funds'available to small rural communities such as Whalley,’.members-obthe parish council heard. The recent‘,village appraisal gathered the views of a cross-section of local people., As previous­ ly reported, an action group was set, up specifically, to follow up the points raised, principally crime and the fear of crime and car parking.. The latest report will be much wider. "It should


cover all aspects of, village life," chairman Coun, Martin-Hightontold fellow parish councillors.!.;;


; v .. The council wants to plan for the future and hopes for more meetings with the.action group. It is not yet clear when the new plan will be ready. .

Record numbers enjoyed activities at local out - of ■


THIS year's school holidays have seen a bumper time for the Trinity-based Clitheroe Out of


School Club. Not only has the quality of child- !


care that,the club provides been recognised, but a record number of children have attended the summer play scheme and taken part in the wide and varie'd activities on offer. •


Clitheroe Out of School Club has


successfully registered with OFSTED at the beginning of the summer and is now beginning to work towards Aim­ ing High Quality Assurance Scheme in association with !Kids Club Network. The extensive Summer Play Scheme*


offered throughout the school holidays has catered for a record number of children. Open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, the club is open to four to 12-year-olds. Activities covered this summer have


had an emphasis on both learning and fun, and have ranged from sign lan­ guage and photography workshops to' scuba diving, sports and a bouncy cas­ tle, trips to Burnley Football Club and to a! farm, as well as games from the RSPB and visits from Countryside Rangers to build bird boxes. Adele Burgess, childcare manager


for the Out of School Club, comment­ ed: "Registering with OFSTED is an important achievement for everyone involved with the out of school club, as


many


it is a recognised standard in the qual­ ity of childcare that we have managed


' to achieve. ■ • ' "The success of this year's summer - programme has'further highlighted


’"that the children who are part of the scheme thoroughly enjoyed their time


■ and'the activities with us." 1 "With the return to school imminent, the Out of School Club will once again begin their provision of after school.


. club activities. . . With 10 years' experience, this is one of the longest running out of school • clubs, in the area. Trinity still hosts a


' busyclub, with an average 25 to 35 children being cared for each evening after school, between 3-30 p.m. to 6 - p.m. • :
