“Small sums of money can often make a big difference to our local communi­ ty and voluntary groups. This new grant scheme will help groups take their first steps in fund-raising and aims to build up their confidence in applying for grants from other sources.” The scheme has been set up by Rib­


ble Valley Strategic Partnership, which is a multi-agency partnership


working to represent all those living in the Ribble Valley.


It is being administered by the Hyn-

THE remarkable upsurge of interest in the countryside will certainly be seen again at the Hodder Valley Show a week on Saturday. I t is Newton’s turn to host the immense­


ly varied event a t the usual village venue, about three-quarters of a mile along the Dunsop Bridge road. A lot of effort has been put in by many people for months to make sure there is something for everyone. The aftermath of foot-and-mouth dis­


ease has proved to be a t once a challenge and a spur to the long-established pattern of the unfolding year in the Ribble Valley - the Hodder Valley Show team is showing tha t it too has thrown off the recent prob­ lems. Indeed, last year’s event was a record-


breaker and it is hoped that the crowds will again follow the very large entry in virtu­ ally all classes this time. There are already some thoughts about the Diamond Jubilee show next year! People who have never been to the show


a t Newton should be assured th a t there will be plenty of car parking close by, with stewards to help ensure a free flow of traf­ fic.

Community plan will be REAL+ for residents of two villages


RESIDENTS of Bashall Eaves and Mitton are busy preparing a commu­ nity plan which will map out the future of their village, based on how residents hope it will be. This community plan is being pre­


pared as part of the REAL+ process (Rural Evaluation and Action for Lancashire). REAL+ is a village; appraisal process that can help rural communities in the north and east of Lancashire identify their issues.and, concerns, and then support residents in bringing about positive change


within their communities. The project is funded by Leader plus and the North West Development Agency and delivered by Community Futures. As part of this process, local resi­


dents are being asked for their views on the parish and how they would like to see Bashall Eaves and •Mitton develop over the next 10 years. Residents are being invited to have


their say on the future of the village at a community exhibition and workshop on September 14th. The event will take place at Bashall


Eaves Village Hall between 2 and 4


p.m. Local people are invited to go along and have their say. The "vision­ ing" workshop will start at 2-30 p.m. Following this community event, a


questionnaire will be delivered to every household in the parish to gath­ er further information on ease of access to facilities and the general quality of niral life. ■ Based on the consultation results,


an action plan that the community can use to start addressing local needs will be drawn up.
