LITTLE Amelia Blundell has pictured a perfect Lancashire in 20 years’ time, with green fields,


good friends and a healthy econo­ my. Amelia, five, who lives in the Kib­


ble Valley, is just one of the 1.2 mil­ lion residents who are being invited to share their vision of Lancashire in 2023, with both young and old alike urged to speak up. People in Lancashire are being urged


to gaze into an imaginary crystal ball and tell the Lancashire Partnership, what they see for the red rose county’s future. Will it be more jobs, stronger com­


munities and better schools, or some­ thing else? Dedicated free 'phone hotlines, web sites and postal addresses have been set


up to take people’s views. They will form the framework for organisations such as the N1IS, local government,


r e s e e s a ah ead


police, voluntary and.community groups, which make up The Lancashire Partnership.' The aim of the consultation - the


largest ever to take place in Lancashire - is to pull together a long-term plan that forms the structure for all organi­ sations to work towards. Local groups and organisations have


already told Lancashire Partnership what they see as important issues. Those already identified include


global warming, community safety, health care for an ageing population and religion. Now it is the turn of individuals to have their say on their vision for the


future. Leader of Lancashire County Coun­


cil, Coun. Hazel Harding, said: “Lan­ cashire has a proud history and this is an important opportunity for local people to actively take part in shaping their own future. “It is extremely important that local

people give the Partnership their views, so that we can provide a single vision which everyone can work to.” - Facts to consider include the likeli­ hood of providing for an extra 45,000 households by 2023. Some people believe there are not


enough high-tech jobs and too much reliance on old manufacturing indus­ try. Poor health is also a major concern. in parts of the county. To have your say, you can: • Phone for free on 0800 195 2133. • Write for free (no stamp required)

Weather defies forecast for a great day out


THERE was a good turnout for Clitheroe Ram­ blers’ walk last Tuesday, when the weather turned out to be better than was forecast. The party set out from Dunsop Bridge and


walked briskly up Whitendale, stopping to look at the salmon leap on the River Dunsop. The route continued up the Brennand Valley


to Higher Brennand Farm and turned south west up the fell to the Ouster Rake path, steep and narrow, leading to a fine summit ridge. Here the walkers enjoyed lunch and magnifi­


cent views of Bowland in autumn. They then walked down to Trough House,


following the path close to Bleashaw Clough and Rams Clough. This route met the Trough Road at Trough Barn.' The walkers turned down the road to Lang-


den Beck and along the permissive path to Hareden Beck, across the road to Closes Barn and back to Dunsop Bridge.

Moor Lane, Clitheroe, are holding a special Glitz and Glamour evening from 5-30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Shop manager Miss Adele Swift explained:


THEY looked scary, but the witches, wizards and warlocks at a Ribble Valley Hallowe’en night were only out to do good. The only spirit truly in evidence


was one of goodwill as the eerie crowd handed over an impressive £6,500 cheque for the Christie Hos­ pital, Manchester. ' The spooks were the families o f1

Beryl Statham, who spends almost as much time at her mobile home as she does in her own home in Milnrow, Rochdale. “There’s such a wonderful commu­


nity spirit in the park,” she said. “I t ’s so rewarding when you see


how these events bring people togeth­ er and how much goodwill they feel towards Christie's. All of them know someone who has benefited from the hospital’s specialist care.” Our picture shows Christie’s

“We are constantly amazed at the quality and variety of goods donated to our shops. “I hope that people will come along to this


event to see that looking fashionable and chic for the party season need not cost a fortune.” During the last few months, staff and volun­


teers have been setting aside party dresses and outfits for the event and shop rails are now bursting with classy and glamorous clothes.


Extension go-ahead


PERMISSION has been granted for a two- storey extension to the side of 33 Kemple View, Clitheroe. The plan came before a meeting of Ribble


Valley Borough Council’s planning committee, which approved the scheme subject to samples of materials being submitted and approved by the planners before their use in the proposed work. Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe) recommend­ ed the application for approval.


Santa Specials all lined up for Christmas run


THE ever-popular Santa Services are to run again in December. In conjunction with First North


Western, Santa will be making a special visit to Clitheroe on Sunday, December 7th, as well as joining service trains on the following Saturdays, December 13th and 20th. On the Sunday, Santa Service trains


will leave Blackburn at 11-35 a.m., 1-35 p.m. and 3-35 p.m. There will also be an opportunity to


meet Santa on the following Saturdays on trains leaving Blackburn for Clitheroe at 11-47 a.m., 2-47 p.m. and 5-50 p.m. AH services will stop at intermediate


stations at Ramsgreave and Wilpshire, Langho and Whalley. The Sunday service will offer visitors


to Clitheroe an opportunity to visit a special Christmas market offering a large range of stalls full of goodies, together with street entertainment.


As in previous years, the services are


likely to prove very popular. Ribble Valley Rail has agreed with


First Nortli Western to provide a three carriage unit. All carriages will be suitably decorat­


ed with Christmas streamers and bal­ loons and will be staffed by Ribble Val­ ley Rail volunteers as well as First North Western employees. During the journey, Santa will visit all the children on the train presenting


them with a small "goody” bag and obviously gathering information about what they wish him to bring them on Christmas morning. Adults will not be left out, as they


will receive a mince pie and glass of sherry. Normal ticket fares apply and no


advanced booking is required. For more details, see the timetable at


Clitheroe Interchange or your local sta­ tion.
