Driver Steve acts the goat to land an eagle
NO kidding - a go- ahead coach driver from Sabden relaxes away from the job by keeping goats! For Steve Whitehurst
(37), who initially studied to become a farmer, is rel ishing the challenge of his new role as operations manager with Fraser Eagle Coaching Group. Mr Whitehurst began as a
driver with East Lancashire group travel specialists Fras er Eagle Coaching over six
a clear path from the driving seat intomanagement. 'He said: “I came as a dri
years ago. Since then, he has steered
ver and progressed to the management services side, where I liaised with the rail companies to cover emer gencies and lay on coaches
in many different circum
stances.” Mr Whitehurst is now
based at the company's head quarters on the Shuttleworth Mead Business Park at Padi-
ham. “I am in daily contact
with the, drivers, the coaches and the garage here, Fraser Eagle’s like one big family and this felt like I was com ing home. “It’s very much a hands-
on job, you have to be flexible and prepared to turn your hand to most things, even driving buses, but that’s how
I like it.” In his demanding new role,
he has responsibility for all coaches and drivers, engi neering, rosters, appoint ments, cleaning, even disci plinary action and much
more. “It’s challenging and I am
on call around the clock, but I really enjoy the problem solving aspects.” Mr Whitehurst lives with
wife Anne and family in Sab den - and it is here where the goats come in. “We have some land at the
back of the house and our four goats live there.” said Mr Whitehurst. They are simply pets, but looking after them is so different from my everyday duties, it’s relaxing. "Plus, they don’t demand and they help to keep the
grass down!” He might be the ‘butt’ of a
few jokes at work, but people could say that he has certain ly ‘goat’ what it takes for the task at Fraser Eagle and as the company continues to
expand, he is very much a key player. Pictured is Mr Whitehurst in the driving seat.

is designed to keep pupils
healthy.The walk to school was a national event, so other schools also took part up and down the country.We felt that not enough children walked to school, and we hadn’t walked, as a school, for a while.”
Over the course of five days,
an average of 145 children walked to school. “We had teachers taking
turns to walk with the chil dren,” added Mr Kellington. “There was a rota, with up to six teachers walking each day.”
Rural project will assist groups to acquire grants
A NEW scheme to support businesses or even voluntary groups in rural areas offers “real grant aid”, say its managers. The project is being run from the Lan
cashire Rural Futures office in Waterloo Road, Clitheroe, and is specifically designed to help businesses in a way sensitive to the countryside. Capital money grants are available to help
firms, emphasises Mr Andy Pickard, who is leading the team running the scheme. The rural areas of neighbouring boroughs
as well as that of the Valley can benefit. “There is a real opportunity for rural busi
nesses to, in effect, capitalise on their loca tion,” says Mr Pickard. “We are especially keen to hear from those
which have an immediate need to take on new marketing inititives or undertake a project which will create an environmental improve
ment.” Groups other than commercially-based
firms could also be eligible for the scheme, using the aspects of it appropriate to their specific ativi ties. Mr Pickard says that the scheme is find
ing ways of using the environment to the advantage of rural activity. “It seeks to add value to local products
and services, to facilitate routes to market, to promote collective business links and to sustain businesses operating in harmony with the rural environment”, he said. The project runs until 2007 and is sup
ported by a variety of bodies. Its supporters are the East Lancashire
Partnership, Lancashire County Council, and the Lancashire Local Partnership Action Group. Funding is from the European Union and the Department of the Environ ment, Food and Rural Affairs. More details about acquiring grants can
be obtained from Mr Pickard on 01200 426433.
The teachers waited for the
children at two different points at opposite ends of the village, although most of the young sters walked straight from their own homes. Children had made posters to advertise the walk to
school, with prizes for the best ones. No money was raised
through the event. It was held for the benefit of
the children and teachers and was thoroughly enjoyed by both.
