as leader of Ribble. Valley Borough Coun­ cil.


He urged residents in the rural borough to say a resounding “No” in next October’s ref- ' erendum on the Government’s proposals for a North West Regional Assembly. Ribble Valley Borough Council put for­


,


ward two options to the Boundary Commit­ tee for England following" an emergency meeting in July. One was an enlarged Ribble Valley Uni­


tary Authority and the other a merger with Hyndburn. . Coun. Holtom said: “From readingithe


Boundary Committee’s report it seems both of these ideas were favourably acknowledged. However, neither of them has been chosen, which is disappointing.” Ribble Valley residents taking part in the


referendum will be asked to choose between: • a single unitary authority based on


existing Lancashire County Council bound­ aries • an East Lancashire Unitary Authority'


with 510,000 residents, comprising Black­ burn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pen­


dle, Ribble Valley and most of Rossendale • or a Blackbum-Ribble Unitary Authori-


. ty with 273,000 residents, comprising Black­ burn with Darwen, Hyndburn and Ribble


Valley. Coun. Holtom continued: “I am concerned


that none of these options will fully meet the needs of Ribble Valley.


• i “The countywide option is particularly _


surprising, as it will create a recycled Lan­ cashire County Council. The other two options could see Ribble Valley dominated by at least one powerful neighbour. “Ribble Valley is somewhat different to


other Lancashire boroughs in that it is the largest geographical area in the county with the smallest population at 54,000.. “It serves a diverse rural and semi-rural,, community whose needs may not be met by a


large or remote body.” Members of the public and official bodies


have until February 23rd, 2004, to respond to the proposals, but they could reject all three by voting against any regional assembly in next October’s referendum. Coun. Holtom added: “Only a resounding


‘No’ to regional government can prevent these changes taking place. I think it’s going to be a close call and I am urging everyone to get out and vote next October.”


Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial),


Tee of


A TEENAGE soldier who embedded an Army-issue pickaxe into his platoon leader’s head has been cleared of attempted mur­ der. But a judge a t Bristol


Crown Court warned 18- year-old Private Grant Keny­ on, of Blackburn, that he still faces a custodial sentence


af ter admitting a lesser charge. The victim, Clitheroe father-


of-one Lance Corporal Konrad Bisping, sustained horrific injuries that put an end to his promising Army career and left him suffering from epilepsy and agoraphobia. Kenyon had previously pleaded guilty to causing griev­ ous bodily harm with intent, admitting that he swung the pickaxe at L/Cpl Bisping’s head, but claiming he had not intended to kill him. L/Cpl Bisping (27), whose


family lives in Henthorn Close, Clitheroe, was serving in the First Battalion the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment, based in Catterick, North Yorkshire, at the time of the incident. He was leading a platoon on


an exercise on Salisbury Plain in preparation for possible war with Iraq. Kenyon, then aged 17, hurt


his ankle and began lagging behind during an attacking move. L/Cpl Bisping dropped back to remonstrate with him,

MEMBERS and guests of the Old Clithero- nians’ Association have met at their annual dinner. The event was attended by Ribble Valley


MP Mr Nigel Evans, the Mayor and May­ oress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Alan Yearing and Mrs Susan Yearing, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Coun. Joan Knight and Mrs Helen Ashworth. At the formal evening, held at the Stirk


A 0


House Hotel, outgoing President Mr John Pye handed the office to Mr Malcolm Black­ burnMBE, who will be President of the asso­ ciation during the school’s 450th anniversary year. As such he will be helping plan a number of celebratory functions with the school. Formal speeches followed dinner and the head of CRGS, Mr Stuart Holt, reported on


the school year. Other guests among the 141 at the event included the chairman of gover­ nors Canon Dearden, the president of CRGS Old Girls’ Association Cynthia Sharpe, head boy Xavier Riley and head girl Nafeesa Shah. Secretary Mr Chris Wood explained the Old


Clitheronians’ Association was made up of the alumni - the Old Boys of the school - and dated back to the 1920s. He said that the


internet site Friends Reunited had kindled some interest in ex-pupils, which was adding to the association’s numbers. Our picture shows the Mayors, members of


the Old Clitheronians’ Association and some of their guests gathered before the annual din­ ner. (A141103/1)

also highlights the potential dangers associated with what they say will be a large increase in the number of vehicles using the road from Waddington to Edisford. They point out that the site


is not on a bus route and said: “This is a relatively narrow road, very narrow in parts, which is used by a large num­ ber of pedestrians and horses. I t would make an already dangerous road even more dangerous.” Opposition to the proposals
