Parish council vows to keep
car park control THE parish council ' a t Waddington is determined

Sappily, we still live in a democra- Ind not a dictatorship. There are
ky people, who do not have bank
Aunts either because they are not Bible for one, have never seen the Id for one or simply,- do not Want 1. For many,'the journey to their. Brest bank would be at best incon- aient, and at worst, without their p transport, bus or train link, diffi-.,
to r nigh impossible. Currently, there is an agreement 'll the post office that certain banks, ji allow transactions to be carried j over their local post office counter, 1 what the public is not being told is I t it will still be able to draw pen- Iis and other benefits at the local i t office if it so chooses. | ■ [temember, if you don't use it, , you Jc losing it. Here are the facts. Only
I "method" of drawing benefit needs khange. The new Government mea t s include an end to pensions/bene-

[re this account. It is designed only the purpose of drawing your pen- i or benefits.
Jhe Government will pay the
ney in, and when you wish to draw ir pension, benefit or tax credit,
u simply use the card, over the inter, instead of your book. At a nee, the postmaster can see how
ch you can draw. [rhe difference is that if you do not

j t frequently targeted by conmen . id robbers when it is known th a t fy have just collected a full pension, a t also obviates the need to keep [ess cash in the house. The account l be used to save, but cannot be
prdrawn, so there is less risk of end- r up with huge debts, resulting in ,
lerest charges. |Clearly, the more of us that opt for ■ payment through the post office d account, the more likely we are to

, ment with Ribble Valley Borough Council on the issue comes to a climax . . tonight at the meeting of
- Some three years of argu-
the borough Planning and Development Committee. ■ The parjsh council owns
the car park at the village recreation ground. Rather than see the borough spend £30,000 on improving it, the village wants to ‘do slightly less ambitious upgrading itself - but, with £20,000 of borough money. The Planning and Devel opment Committee is being
■ asked to make a £10,000' grant to the village and also
\m a k e i t a £10,000 loan. Waddington says that this will pay for bringing its car park up to the standards required for insurance and incorporate safety measures reflecting increased usage. .■■'•The parish has sent a

questionnaire round the vil lage asking residents whether they- want the council or themselves to update and control the car park. A report from council
Director of Commercial Services, Mr John Heap, says the use of money from the commmittee's capital budget in the way suggest ed by the parish needs to be considered carerfully. I t would still provide a car park, although not a
■ borough council one. But there may be other
projects the committee would prefer to spend the money on, suggests Mr Heap. His report infers that agreement had been reached with the parish council about a lease and planning permission obtained when the £20,000 request came in. As far as the council was concerned, its scheme was ready to go out to tender. ■ The village could borrow
the money for the car park elsewhere, but it would cost £30,000 over 10 years. I t accepts that, if it continued to control the car park, there would also be mainte nance and insurance costs.
Golden Jubilee goodwill to assist research into cancers in youngsters
■MOBILE home owners have wheeled in a tremen dous £10,000 for Christie Hospital from Queen's Golden Jubilee events, plus year-round fund raising at the Three Rivers Woodland Park,
West Bradford, Clitheroe. The sum includes £1,500
from site owner Mr Harold Cowburn, who was repeat ing a jubilee tradition - he gave £250 to the Christie to mark th e Queen's Silver Jubilee. All this year's money is for
the specialist cancer centre's Young Oncology Unit which treats, and researches into,
young people's cancers. A weekend of golden jubilee

Rain did not dampen plans for a '50s style street party - they made sure their beetlecrushers, drainpipe jeans and dirndl skirts stayed dry by moving the Spam sandwiches, cheese straws and- blancmango into the club

the Army and Navy, plus per formances by local bands, kept all ages entertained. Kirkham. Prison donated plants for one of the. many stalls, and Greens of Black burn Market gave the party food. Said fund-raising group
<______j xt™- -I.,-
seertary Mrs Beryl Statham: "We also had dozens of dona tions. The park was open to the public that weekend and, when people realised we were raising cash for Christie H ost pital, they just kept giving us money. They were amazingly generous." Mrs Statham lives in Milnrow, Rochdale, but spends most weekends in her mobile home at Three Rivers. Year-round, there are sales
nr-nhr<efio onnte and .hpnnies. The nark residents have raised
of Christie cards and beanies, raffles, a white elephant stall, name the Christie bear and a grand holiday draw with all proceeds to the cancer centre. A Key to A Fortune game generated £1,500, and £500 came in from coffee mornings at the Abbeyfields home for the elderly in Burnley. "Christie is such a popular,
worthwhile cause, and we enjoy the fund-raising so much, that we've decided to carry on indefinitely," added Mrs Statham. Said Christie regional
appeals officer Jacky Plant: "Their wonderful efforts are an example of the strong loy alty that Lancashire people have always felt for Christie.
The park residents have raised a fantastic sum and I'm thrilled that they're going to carry on helping us". The £10,000 cheque was
presented to Christie repre sentatives Lilian Walsh and Dennis McManus at a hot pot supper attended by Coun. Mrs Joyce Holgate, Mayor of Ribble Valley, and local Christie fund-raiser Mrs Myra Clegg, from Chtheroe. Coun. Holgate, Mrs Walsh
and Mrs Clegg had the unen viable task of judging a chil dren's Hallowe'en fancy dress competition.' Pictured presenting the £10,000 cheque is Mrs
Statham. ■ (T 281002/12)
