MP slams Blair over constitution changes


THE Prime Minister has been slammed for "his breathtaking arrogance over the Euro­ pean Constitution" by Ribble Valley MP Nigel E v an s .. "When it comes to a big change in democra­


cy, the British people should not be pushed aside, but should in fact, be able to have their say", said the MP. “Last time I checked, this country had a


parliamentary democracy, where the people had the ultimate say. “Now it appears that President Blair and his


acolytes at Number 10 can divine the people’s opinion without consulting them,” commented an angry Mr Evans. "Most European countries are all committed


to referenda on the EU constitution, and the remaining are likely to hold one. “Tony Blair should trust the people of this


country, even if they no longer trust him. That is his job, and it is our right,” concluded Mr Evans.

A FAMILIAR figure in the Slaidbum area, and a well-known character in the Valley has died aged 78. Mr John Steen died peacefully after a short


illness in Clitheroe Community Hospital, on Wednesday, October 22nd. Originally from Burnley, he saw active ser­


vice in the North Atlantic, Arctic convoys and the Indian Navy during the Second World War. Following demobilisation, he worked briefly


as a salesman and then chose to work in agri­ culture, studying at Winmarleigh. He moved to Newton following his marriage


in 1955 to begin his farming career, working alongside his wife, Mrs Barbara Steen. In 1962, the couple moved to Slaidbum and


farmed there together for the remainder of their working lives. Mr and Mrs Steen regularly hosted money­


raising events and provided freely of their time to support St Andrew’s Church, Slaidbum, and Derian House Children’s Hospice, Chorley. The couple hosted a number of farm open


days for disabled children and adults from throughout Lancashire. He wore a distinctive beard throughout his


adult life.and assisted in costume and numer­ ous Christmas parties, and was regularly in attendance at the switching on of the Christ­ mas lights in Clitheroe. After the death of his wife, two years ago,


the retired farmer continued to live in Slaid­ bum.

Broadband joy for village folk


by Vivien Meath


BROADBAND has arrived in Whalley! Thanks to a campaign conduct­


ed by th e P a r ish P lan Steering Group, Ca.lder Services, Graham Cosgrove an d th e Chamber of Trade, sufficient people registered their interest for BT to provide the service in the Whalley area. Alan Holgate, chairman of the


Parish Plan Steering Committee, said he was delighted that they had


been successful as this prevented the village being left behind in the infor­ mation technology revolution. He added that he hoped that this


was the first of many successful pro­ jects which would come out of Whal- ley's participation in the Vital Vil­ lages Scheme. The scheme, which is funded by the Countryside Agency,


‘gives the residents and service users of Whalley an opportunity to help in shaping the future of the village. He urged as many residents as possible to help in the process, as it was "vital" th a t Whalley preserved and rein­ forced its identity.


The group, which has working


groups looking a t issues related to transport and parking, the environ­ ment includjng planning control, and social and community topics, needs not only the views, but the commit­ ment of Whalley residents to ensure that the ideas put forward are carried through into projects which will ben­ efit the village. The successful Whal­ ley Village Appraisal 2001 has been used as a starting point. For further information on how to


get involved, please contact Alan Holgate, tel. 01254 824302, or Richard Jackson, tel. 01200 427886.
