Town’s tourist office closes for major facelift
CLITHEROE’S Tourist Informa tion Centre has closed for three to four weeks for a £25,000 refurbish ment. Staff from the Market Place cen
tre will be offering a scaled-down ser vice from the foyer of the Ribble Val iev Bnrnnch Council offices in near
by Church Walk The service will be offered from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The centre, run jointly by Ribble
Valley Borough Council and Lan cashire County Council, opened 12 years ago, but since th a t time the volume of inquiries and visits it
handles has increased considerably. The refurbishment will see the
centre have a new user-friendly lay out and increased technology facili
ties for staff. Ribble Valley Borough Council
tourism and a r ts officer Jane Sil vester said: “We apologise to the
general public for any inconvenience caused as a result of the refurbish ment. We Mil be offering an interim service from the council offices a short walk from Market Place.” The centre is due to reopen by the
end of June and further details are available on 01200 425566.
Let's have a little
tolerance’
A COUNCIL officer has called on the coun try’s “Victor Meldrews” to quit complain ing about youngsters playing football in public. As the England football team gears up for
the Swiss game this evening, Ribble Valley Borough Council quality of life officer John Barber said disgruntled residents were strangling the life out of the national game. But he also called on parents to teach
their budding Beckhams better manners when retrieving balls from people’s gardens. “Everywhere you look, on any piece of
open land they can find, a t any time of the day and night, youngsters are playing foot ball. There you will find them kicking a ball about, running, jumping, shouting and generally using up the endless energy that those of us over 50 wished we still had,” said Mr Barber. “We should be happy that all these bud
ding David Beckhams and Michael Owens are learning new skills and getting valuable exercise and plenty of fresh air, particularly given recent Government claims that chil dren are turning into couch potatoes. “But increasing numbers of residents who
value their peace and quiet after a hard day’s work and have a lovely garden claim they feel threatened by youngsters who are allegedly rude, aggressive, insolent, drug taking and alcohol swigging monsters!" Mr Barber, who was one of the first
“quality of life officers” in Lancashire, said complaints about soccer-playing youngsters were on the increase. He added: “Every day complaints are
made about the ‘problem’ of youngsters playing football in public, but is it really so hard for people to appreciate each other and understand their differing lifestyles and gen erations? “The time has surely come for youngsters
and residents to show each other greater tolerance. With just a little consideration, understanding and compassion, our young sters can enjoy their game of football and get some exercise. After all, most of our soc cer stars started their careers by kicking a ball in the street and the next England cap tain could be from Clitheroe!”
