well and has personally sold property in the area for much of his time in estate agency work. Mr Honeywell and his

Grant to help with teaching of Braille


BRAILLE teaching enthusiast Mr Christopher Tattersall has been awarded a £3,350 grant. The money will help


pay expenses for the classes he is running, and hopes to expand, a t the Trinity Centre, Clitheroe. Mr Tattersall has set


up the “Braille-It” class­


es to help other blind people to learn the sys­ tem, which he has found such an advantage after losing his sight. Now the Campaign for Learning has recog-.


Bolton to acquire a high enough level of skill to teach and is keen to pass on his skills. At th e : moment about half-a- dozen people attend the Thursday morning lessons and Mr Tatter­ sall is keen to encourage more. ■He has the use of sev­

Parish councils are already delivering quality demands of the Government


PARISH councils in the Ribble Valley already achieve many new quality demands being made by the Government, says borough council Chief Executive Mr David Morris. Tonight's meeting of the bor­


sent to Whitehall by the chief execu­


tive. He wrote that the model charter


ough Parish Council Liaison Com­ mittee will discuss the local aspects of a national "Quality Parish and Town Councils" dis­


cussion paper. Seven parish councillors formed a


working group to discuss the paper and their response to it,has'been


being suggested by the Government was already being delivered, in effect, locally. Also, the suggestion tha t parish councils talk to their neigh­ bours and pool resources was also hap­ pening locally and "will continue to be pursued in the future where appropri­


ate." The Government's suggestion that a "Quality Mark" standard be estab­


lished gave rise to some Ribble Valley misgivings and Mr Morris wrote that the working party was "mindful that


the vast majority of parish councils would claim that the quality mark is already being achieved at the appro­ priate level on a daily basis as a nor­ mal part of parish council business." The Ribble Valley, pointed out Mr


Morris, had a number of small rural parish councils which had no desire to seek any official quality status because of their size and the limited nature of their budgets. But they would not want to attract the stigma of not being quality councils. When it came.to a Government sug­


gestion tha t parish council clerks obtain a special paper qualification,


the local view is that any training ini­ tiative should be supported, but too much formality would result in long- serving clerks resigning, causing unnecessary disruption. It is not known when the Govern­ ment will make efforts to implement


its ideas. The working group comprised


Couns Cyril Law (Read); Frank Goss (Sabden); Mike Codd (Longridge); Mary Robinson (Clitheroe); Eric Ronnan (Whalley); Jean Lawson (Slaidbum and Easington); and Terry Murray (Bolton-by-Bowland, Gis- bum Forest and Sawley.)

Calderstones trust comes in for praise


THE Calderstones NHS Trust has many good practices in place, say Government auditors. "They reflect the


spirit of the NHS plan, in particular mecha­ nisms to involve clients and carers in service improvements," said a District Audit report to be considered yester­ day by the tru s t 's board. Many of the NHS
