A NEW name on the Clitheroe clothes scene has also made its debut in a top selling guide to the best retail .outlets of British fashion. Browse, of King Street,


Clitheroe, has appeared in Caryn Franklin's "Fashion UK."


The GMTV presenter


whose name is linked with- BBCs "Clothes Show" and "Style, Challenge", has reviewed more than 100 independent shops which "stand out from the crowd." Of Browse, she says:


"This opulent boutique stands out from its com­ petitors." Owner Claire Heathcote

Franklin writes: "Rather than opting for the mini, malist chrome interior so beloved of contemporary retail design, Claire tries to counterbalance the modernist aesthetic with more grandiose and tradi­ tionalist elements, includ­ ing spectacular crystal chandeliers and handsome feature fireplaces." The staff at Browse are


described as "enthusiastic and unaffected," and the guide's author obviously enjoyed her shopping experience in the Ribble Valley. "Fashion UK" is priced


£16.99 and published by Conran Octopus.


Pair accused of damaging car


CLITHEROE women Donna Patricia Pateman (34), and Tania Collette Teresa Ward (43), both of separate addresses in Cen­ tral Avenue, Clitheroe, were remanded on bail by Blackburn magistrates after pleading not guilty to affray and damaging a car. Pateman was remanded on bail until January 20th and Ward until January 23rd.

Mark proves he is a real master manager


A CLITHEROE firm's deputy cement manager is


top of the class. Mr Mark Yates, who works


at Castle Cement’s Ribblesdale Works, has become a Master of Business Administration via Hull University. He enrolled for the course in


1999, completing his MBA this summer. Throughout the time he spent one day a week studying at Blackburn College and up to 15 hours a week working at home. Modules on his course includ­


ed human resource management, information accountancy, mar­ keting, operations management


and weekly workshop sessions with fellow students. Speaking about his studies,


the married father-of-three, who completed his apprenticeship nine years ago, said: “I enjoyed it, but the final year was quite stressful in terms of balancing work, study and home life. Hav­ ing three children running round the house is not ideal when you are trying to study and need peace and quiet.” He added: “My work environ­


ment was also hectic, as my col­ league was away from the site on business for much of the year. However, I successfully complet­

ed the course and I feel better equipped both as a more round­ ed individual and in the work­ place. I feel I am now able to take a better overview of the business rather than just concen­ trate on my specific role.” Mr Yates, who lives in Rish-


ton, was also full of praise for the help and encouragement received from his employer. “Unlike many people on my course, my fees have been paid by my company,” he said. “Castle has also allowed me to


take one day a week off so I can attend college and has encour­ aged me every inch of the way."

Plan for horse business falls at planning hurdle


POTENTIAL adverse effects on nearby homes have ruled out a horse busi­ ness on land at Riverside, Low Moor, Clitheroe. There were 17 objections to the plan from residents, one suggesting that the site might become unsightly "due to the track record of the applicant." Ribble Valley Borough


Council Planning and Development Committee followed officers' recommen­ dation to refuse a change of use of the land, near allot­ ments and the Meadow- lands estate, from farming. I t was proposed to build three horse accommodation buildings plus a black­


smith's shop with a two- storey portion 23 feet high, and create two maneges. Residents feared noise,


odour and fly nuisance and were concerned about closeness to their homes and unsympathetic materi­ als and design. One of them addressed the meeting and asked: "Who needs a two- storey blacksmith's shop?" A report from the offi­


cials said that the appli­ cant stated that two staff would be required and that the plan was a farm diver­ sification. However, the design and materials of the buildings were inappropri­ ate and the lack of land scaping unacceptable.

Company in in te rn a t ion a l r e sea r ch offer to te a ch e r s


A COMPANY with a base in Clitheroe is offering local teach­ ers the chance to take part in international scientific research projects. 3M Neotechnic United


Kingdom PLC is sponsoring an awards scheme being run by environmental charity Earth- watch. As a result of the scheme, 20


teachers could find themselves gaining hands-on experience of research techniques, as well as an insight into international conservation by working along­ side leading scientists on a vari­ ety of activities, including the assessment of the diversity of life in Kenya’s largest freshwa­ ter lake and the impact of vol­ canic eruptions in Iceland. The awards are open to teachers of any level across


Lancashire and previous win­ ners have come from the Ribble Valley. To apply, individuals must fill in an application form demonstrating their commit­ ment to the environment. The two-week projects take place in school holidays and expenses are covered by 3M. The dead­ line for applications is February 14th. Clitheroe site manager Mr


Nick Green said: “This is the 11th year of 3M's ongoing sup­ port for the Earthwatch initia­


tive. “The awards bring real-life


science and environmental research back into the class­ room and undoubtedly deliver long-term benefits, not only for the teachers but also for their pupils, schools and the local community.”
