Chance to quiz the county’s decision makers
THERE will be another chance to quiz the decision makers when Lancashire County Council's mobile information unit visits Dunsop Bridge a wek on Saturday, June 12th, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
And this particular visit will be extra special as it coincides with the popular Bowland Fes
tival, the six-day celebration of life in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
County Coun. Tim Ormrod, chairman of the Forest of Bow land Partnership, said: "The Bowland Festival is a celebra tion of one of the UK's greatest natural assets and the county
council information unit will be there to join in the fun. The staff will be helping distribute information on the services the county council provides within the AONB as well as the rest of Lancashire.
"Lancashire County Council provides a great many services for our residents, but while
some are well known others are not. The public often rate ser vices very highly, yet they don't always know that it is the county council providing them. This is your chance to find out exactly how your money is spent."
The trailer is a mine of informa tion for the public. As well as
County Couns Mary Wilson, Chris Holtom, Albert Atkin son, Stephen Sutcliffe and Ron Pickup will also be on hand throughout the day to speak to
being able to pose questions on local issues they can also pick up a range of leaflets giving details of county services.

Top astronomers in world to visit Valley
Jeremiah Horrocks, of Much Hoole, Preston. As part of their visit to the
region, the astronomers wanted to visit the historic observato ry at Stonyhurst College. The observatory has been
internationally famous for studies of solar phenomena and the associated terrestrial effects. “Stonyhurst Disks” are still used by amateurs to deter mine the latitude and longitude of sunspots. I t has also featured in the
history of Venus transits. In 1874 and 1882, Fr Stephen Penny and his assistant, Fr Sid- greaves, set out to view Venus
transits, going first to the South Atlantic and then to Madagascar, as leaders of the official British expeditions. In planning its North-West
visit, the IAU contacted the director of the Vatican Obser vatory, Fr George Coyne, to ask if Stonyhurst observatory was still in existence. It was the right place to ask the question, because the deputy director of the Vatican Observatory is Fr Chris Corbaly - a former Stonyhurst pupil! The IAU members were
delighted to learn that not only was the observatory still fully functioning, but that astrono
my can be taken as a GCSE subject. During their Stonyhurst
visit next Thursday, the IAU group of between 70 and 80 experts will hear about the col lege’s long-term involvement with astronomy and then move on for dinner at the Shireburn Arms in nearby Hurst Green. They have chosen to come to
the North-West this year because of its association with Jeremiah Horrocks. The transit occurs in an eight-year cycle and then in intervals of 105 or 120 years. The next transit will be in 2012, then not again until 2117 and 2125.
Bid to return beauty spot pond to its former glory
THE central nature pond at Ribble Valley beauty spot Spring Wood has been restored - just in time for World Envi ronment Day on Saturday. The work was carried out by
local woman Susan Greenwood, along with the Friends of Spring Wood organisation, which aims to preserve the ancient wood land and bring it “back to its former glory.” Mrs Greenwood, of Kelbrook,
joined the Friends on returning from a two-week Earthwatch expedition tracking endangered wildlife through the mountain corridors of Utah. The project was part of an
international environment scheme backed by Mrs Green wood’s employers HSBC. Some 2,000 employees world
wide took part in expeditions as part of a £35 million five-year partnership between the bank and environmental organisa tions. On their return to local com
munities, the volunteers are encouraged to tackle a local environmental project funded by a grant from the bank. The Spring Wood project was sus
tained by a £400 grant from
HSBC. Mrs Greenwood, who has
worked a t the Barnoldswick HSBC branch for 26 years, said: “We are trying to bring Spring Wood back to its former glory. “I hope the restoration of the
pond will welcome back newts, fish and frogs, and that it will become a great local environ ment for visitors and school chil dren to learn from.” “I had always wanted to help
the Friends of Spring Wood, and after returning from my Earthwatch project I was moti vated to get involved. We might not have moose and mountain lions here, but my expedition has shown me that all species deserve a protected natural habitat.” Tom Burstow, the programme
manager of the Environmental Engagement at Earthwatch, said: “Community conservation projects are so important. These projects give employees the chance to apply their interna tional conservation skills locally, while engaging other members of the community to take action.”
