branches which deliver a quality service across a range of customer needs, and cus tomers had to fill in a questionnaire to score the standard of service given. Manager Steve Fishwick said: “When

because it is our customers’ comments that have put the branch in the top spot.” Mr Chris Brindley, Nat West’s regional

by Stagecoach and before that, Ribble Buses, has been the sub ject of a long-running planning saga since Lancashire United decided it no longer needed a depot in town. Developer Rowland Homes,
based in Leyland, has taken over the site from Broughton Hall company Candlemakers Croft Ltd. The main depot was closed in
March, 2002, and most staff were transferred to the compa
ny’s bases in Blackburn and Burnley, where Lancashire United’s sister company. Bum- ley and Pendle Travel, is based. The new scheme will include
three blocks of eight ap a r t ments, with parking provided in a central area as well as one parking space at the front of blocks one and two. One letter of objection was
submitted to the council from a nearby resident, who voiced concerns over loss of car park
ing space nearby. Chief plan ning officer Mr John Macholc said in a report that the scheme provided little public open space and there would normal ly be a requirement for the developer to provide such facil ities. However, he added that a
committed sum had been paid to the council for the upgrading of the existing open space. Overall, he said, the scheme was in keeping with the area.

The red and the white are about to reunite!
by Natalie Cox
THE red and white roses of Lancashire and Yorkshire will he uniting in the Ribble Valley later this month. On October 23rd, stone signs
marking the historic boundary of the two counties will be unveiled on the A59. The commemorative event at
Smithies Bridge, at the bottom of Sawley Brow, is the culmina tion of a crusade by the Unite Craven organisation to ensure the position of the old county boundaries is recognised. Although the administrative borders were altered in 1974
after local government reorgan isation, campaigners have maintained th a t the original boundaries have never been affected. Unite Craven has worked
closely with Lancashire Coun ty Council in relation to the design and siting of the mark ers, but all costs have been met by donations from the group, together with contributions from the Yorkshire Ridings Society and the Friends of Real Lancashire. Historic boundary signs have
already been unveiled on other main roads in the West Craven area, but siting one on the A59 has proved problematic.
As it was previously classed
as a tnmk road the A59 was the responsibility of the Govern ment’s Highways Agency, but now it has been officially “de- trunked” a permanent stone sign can be installed. Its official unveiling will take
place at 11-30 a.m. on Satur day, October 23rd. Organisers have invited for
mer cricketer and Yorkshire stalwart Fred Trueman to carry out the ceremony, but are still awaiting his response., Anyone wanting to attend
the ceremony, which marks the completion of Unite Craven’s campaign, are being urged to park in Chatburn Old Road,
Fair gives children chance to choose a favourite book
just off the A59. Insp Bob Ford, of Clitheroe Police, has also urged those who turn up on the day to take extreme care. . He said: “The A59 is partic
ularly busy on all days of the week. Traffic does travel very fast on it, so the best place for people to park would be Chat- bum Old Road where there is a lot of room. “I t is a 200m walk from the
site and I would ask people to take extreme care.” He added that anyone park
ing on the A59 itself would not only be causing danger, but also an offence as the A59 is a clear way.
Variety to be club’s theme
THE library was the venue for Clitheroe Natu ralists’ annual meeting. Outgoing chairman
Derek Oldham expressed his thanks to all commit tee members for the sup port he had received in what was a successful year. The new president will
be Madge Nutter, the chairman Frank Mason, and George Hawthomth- waite will replace Brenda Jones as treasurer. Brian Jones outlined the
winter programme, which includes intriguing sub jects such as “Odd Items from Bacup” and “What’s in a Name?” Members will learn
BOOKS were brought to life during a special assembly a t Pendle Primary School, in Clitheroe. As part of a bookfair, staged
by Scholastic Publications, chil dren at the school were asked to choose their favourite books.
They then had the chance to
read out their favourite passages, or hear them read, during the assembly, and talk about what made each book so enjoyable. Margaret Carrington, head
teacher at the school, said the bookfair and assemby had gone
really well and sparked a fresh interest in reading among the pupils. Some of the youngsters are
