AFURIOUS group of Kibble Val­ ley residents is determined to fight controversial plans for the expan­ sion of a nearby caravan park. People living in Clitheroe, Low

NEWLYWEDS Sallie Louise Eddleston and Liam Paul Haworth will enjoy their honeymoon in the Caribbean over the festive period. 'Following their wed­


ding, the couple had a short break in the South of France. The hride, a paediatric


staff nurse, is the daugh­ ter of Mr Ian and Mrs Christine Eddleston, of Woodcrest, Wilpshire. Her bridegroom, a


financial adviser, is the son of Mr John and Mrs Betty Haworth, of Maple Close, Wilpshire. Given away by her


father, the bride wore an ivory strapless A-line satin gown scattered with crystals. She car­ ried a hand-tied posy of crystal studded pink aqua roses, pink ger- beras, bouvardia and veronica. She was attended by


her sister, Lucie Eddle­ ston, and Holly Martin. They both wore cerise pink satin strapless dresses with crystal detail. The flowergirl, Megan


Turner, wore a cerise pink and ivory tulle fairy dress complete with fairy wings and wand. The bridegroom had


two best men. His broth­ er, Mr David Haworth, presented the rings and Mr Andrew Edwards gave a speech and toast. Groomsmen were Mr


David Turner and Mr Michael Barton. The couple, who will


live in Wilpshire, were married at Mitton Hall, where they also held a reception. During the ceremony


a poem was read by Car­ oline Hoare, a friend of the bride. Picture by Stuart

THE Higher Trapp Hotel, Simonstone, was the set­ ting for the wedding of Miss Amandeep Kaur to Mr Matthew Smith. The bride, a solicitor, is


the daughter of Mr and Mrs Jagdish Singh, of Leicester. In her spare time she enjoys listening to rock music, playing the guitar and swimming. The bridegroom, a town


planner, also enjoys swim­ ming and is a keen Liver­ pool FC supporter. He is the son of Mr and Mrs Kevin Smith, of Whalley Road, Hurst Green. Given away by her


father, the bride wore an ivory full-length gown and carried a hand-tied bou­ quet of ivory bianca roses with calla lilies and hyper- icum berries and ivy. She was attended by


Miss Louise Woods, Miss Nisha Shemar, the bride’s niece. Miss Sophie Hatton


and Miss Kizzie Evans. Miss Woods wore a gold two-piece dress, while Nisha, Sophie and Kizzie wore gold dresses. They carried hand-tied bouquets of ivory roses, cream lizianthus and gold looped bear grass. Best man was the brid-


groom’s brother, Mr Darryl Smith, and ushers were Mr Mike Keys, Mr Noel Singh and Mr Raman Sher. Page­ boy was Cameron Shemar the bride’s nephew. Following the ceremony


a reception and evening disco was held at the High­ er’Trapp Hotel. Next day an Indian


reception was held at the Stardust Club, Leicester. • The couple spent their


honeymoon visiting Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Chicago and will live in Barnsley.


for their opposition, based on what they claim is excessive development in a rural area, and which they say will exacerbate traffic and access problems and put extra strain on services such as power, sew ^ , water and refuse collec­


tion.


Shirley Stanley, of Chapel Close, Clitheroe, have already written to council plaimers voicing their concerns. “It is totally inappropriate to allow space for an additional 71 caravans,


said Mr Stanley. “If the development is given the go-


ahead, it wiU juk be allowing a s n ^ village to be set up on open countryade —this would be s^ainst the current pol­


icy. “The site is on high ground with the


land falling away on both sid^. The caravans will therefore be visually intrusive despite the proposed tree planting. The trees will obstroct the views of the fells behind the site from


the south.” Mr Stanley also e^ressed concern


about more traffic im g the road from


Waddingon to Edisford. “This a relatively narrow road, very


narrow in parts, which is used by a large number of pedestrians and hors­


es,” he added. “The site is not on a bus route and


the increase in vehicles will make an already dangerous road even more dan-


geroiis.”


Similar fears were voiced by Mr Earl Kenyon, who runs Shirebum Lodge


,


Kennels, near the ate. He said there was too much traffic


on the road already and the extenaon would simply encourage heavy goods vehicles in Old Waddington Road - resulting in more accidents and major


delays. However, according to park propri­


etor Mr Harold Cowburn, the pro­ posed extension will attract tourists to the Ribble Valley and could create up


to five permanent jobs. He commented: “Currently there


are 120 caravans on ate, but the park t_ __to i ic aH 9 n f l s a


has a licence to house around 190 cara- vans. We have spent £350,000 on improving the park recently and can only say that the proposed scheme is to improve it further,” added Mr Cow- bum, who also runs the Three Rivem Caravan Park, in West Bradford. “We are committed to long-term


tourism and the additional caravans will improve matters But Low Moor resident Mrs


Dorothy Parkinson is geared to fight them. She said: “With the expansion, there


will be extra strain put on services such as water, sewage and electridty and the use of extra refuse collection vehicles. In terms of the environment, this development will change the area from rural to urban sprawl.” Mrs Parkinson and Mr Stanley are


pictured at the site of the proposed extension. (A041104/5)


Christmas cash for cleaning up


COMMUNITY groups, schools and oth­ ers in Lancashire who have had a huge impact in making neighbourhood cleaner, safer or greener have the chance to scoop up to a £6,000 Christmas present by enter­ ing a Government competition. The competition - “A Picture of


Change” - was launched by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and aims to reward the efforts of local groups, but time is now rurming out and entries are needed by December 15th. To enter, local groups need to tell the


story of their achievements in words and pictures, demonstrating what has changed in a local park or space, street or housing estate, town or city centre and the impact it had made on the people that live there. Just some of the groups invited to enter are community and youth groups, schools, residents and housing groups, home zones, and New Deal for Communities groups, as


well as others. Entrants are encouraged to be creative


and entertaining to highlight the fabulous impacts of the work they have undert^- en. Community groups can find full details and enter online a t www.cleanersafer- greener.gov.uk or call 0121 2375780.


Service to buy sheep VILLAGERS in West Bradford will gather at the parish hall on Sunday for


their armual carol service. The Rev. Chris Cheeseman, Superin­


tendent of Clitheroe Methodist Circuit, said: “A warm welcome is extended to anyone in the community to join the carol service at 6 p.m. This year the offering will be for World Vision, an ecumenical charity, which will hope­ fully raise more thM £72, and we can then possibly buy more than one flock of sheep for a family in Senegal.”

A G R O U N D -B R EA K IN G training programme launched to teach staff how to deal with violence within the workplace has resulted in Calderstones N H S T r u s t sco oping a top


award. Calderstones, near Whalley,


which provides specialist services to people with a range of learning dis­ abilities, picked up the award at the North West regional finals of the National ’Training Awards 2004. More than 1,000 entries were


received for the awards, which recognise those who have shown excellence and success in the work­ place through training. Due to the nature of some learn­


ing disability, services staff can be more at risk than at other NHS organisations. The training was therefore intro­


duced to equip all new starters and existing direct care staff with de- escalation, breakaway and non­ pain inducing intervention tech­ niques to manage aggressive


behaviour. Mr Ian Hall, training manager a t the Trust, said: “I t was great when we heard our name read out and the fact we have won will take some time to sink in. “We are thrilled to have won


such a prestigious award and all the staff who have helped make the training programme a success should be congratulated for their efforts.” Mr Russ Pearce, chief executive


at Calderstones, said: “As the only NHS Trust shortlisted this is a great achievement for Calder­ stones NHS Trust. - “The training has made a big difference to the working lives of staff and I am delighted that the hard work and dedication of our training department has been recognised in such a prestigious way.” As a national winner, representa­


tives from Calderstones were invit­ ed to London to attend a special ceremony for all winners, hosted by Carol Vorderman at the Guild
