A GRAND tour of local parish and commu nity groups has been launched by the new leader of Ribble Valley Borough Council in a bid to take local government “back to the people.” Over the coming weeks and months, Coun.
John Hill will undertake a “battle bus” tour of the picturesque rural borough.
He vowed to be a champion of the people when
he took over the reins of leadership from Coun. Chris Holtom last month. Coun. Holtom stood down after five years as
leader to concentrate on other council and com munity work.
Father-of-three Coun. Hill (52), lives in Simonstone. He has been a local government
legal officer for 33 years and borough councillor
for five. He said: “These are difficult times for local
government, not least due to Government pro posals for a North West Regional Assembly, which could sound the death knell for councils such as Ribble Valley. “Ribble Valley is a caring council that delivers
effective and efficient services. I intend to cham pion the cause of local people by going out to parish councils and any organisation that wishes to join me in constructive dialogue, with a view to preserving our quality of life, values and her itage, free of discrimination and prejudice." The idea for the tour was sparked by the coun cil’s Community Strategy, which aims to provide
the same quality of service for all, ensure services are available to all and that all parts of Ribble Valley feel an equal sense of belonging.
The Ribble Valley, covering 226 square
miles and with a population of just 54,000 is one of the largest geographical districts in the country, with one of the smallest populations living in just two small towns and 40 villages. Our picture shows Coun. Hill about to
embark on his “meet the people” tour of the valley. (G300604/6).

Broadband access is on way to the Valley
by Duncan Smith
BT has released its timetable for con verting local telephone exchanges to
high-speed broadband Internet use. Three Ribble Valley exchanges - Chat-
burn, Stonyhurst and Gisburn - will be broadband-enabled at the end of this year and the beginning of next. But BT’s four smallest exchanges in
Lancashire - three of them in the Ribble Valley - will not be broadband-enabled now or in the foreseeable future. Those four exchanges are Bolton-by-Bowland, Slaid- burn, Dunsop Bridge and Samlesbury. BT says it will work with its customers in those areas to explore other options for
broadband use. Thirteen exchanges across Lancashire will be upgraded over the com ing months, supplying more than 13,000 households between them. BT says this latest stage of its broadband roll-out pro gramme will make the high-speed Internet facility available to 99.9% of homes and businesses in the county. The first of the 13 exchanges to be con
verted is Chatburn, scheduled for October 6th. Stonyhurst exchange is due to be upgraded on November 10th and Gisburn on January 26th next year. Mr Brian Crouch, BT’s North West regional director, said: "Today's news pro vides clarity for 13 communities in Lan cashire. People have been keen to know when they will have access to broadband
and this news from BT will allow them to plan ahead with confidence. "Now that we will have virtually univer
sal broadband availability in Lancashire, the focus must inevitably turn to driving take-up rates, to ensure that many more businesses exploit broadband's speed and cost-effectiveness. This is vital if they are to remain competitive in the national and global marketplace.” In the Ribble Valley communities served
by BT’s smallest exchanges, the company will seek to work in partnership with public sector and other organisations to help bring broadband to customers. Potential solutions include wireless qnd satellite broadband as well as the BT’s “Exchange Activate” community broadband solution.

Ramblers brave wind and rain
TWELVE members of the Clitheroe Ramblers encountered strong winds and intermittent showers at the start of their 11-mile walk from Silverdale. The ramblers, led by Bryan Dobson,

made their way from the beach to Jack Scout and Jenny Brown Point where they took great interest in the restored chim ney which is all that is left of the former copper-smelting works. They continued along the Lancashire
coastal way to Crag Foot and after a short break they soon reached the rural setting of Yealand Conyers before arriv ing at Leighton Hall. Lunch was taken on an embankment
overlooking the 13-cent Hall. The present house was rebuilt in 1760
following the Jacobite uprising. In improving weather, the group con
tinued through several woodland and field tracks, and after admiring the setting within Gait Barrows Nature Reserve they took afternoon te a in the delightful Waterslack garden centre. The final s tre tch of the walk was
through Eaves Wood to the Pepper Pot - a monument erected in 1887 to commemo rate the Jubilee of Queen Victoria. At this point the group took advantage

a short cliff walk was taken before arriv- itiff

PUPILS and staff at a small Rib ble Valley primary school have been given the "healthy" stamp of approval." Chipping's Brabins Endowed
School is among 500 in the county who have signed up to Lan cashire's Healthy Schools Pro gramme to develop the emotional and physical well-being of pupils and staff. To gain the status, schools must
prove to Lancashire County Council's Healthy Schools team that they have reached standards in five themes such as promoting the school ethos, teaching and learning, healthy eating, physical activity, drug education and sex relationships education. Brabins was among the nine lat
est schools to achieve the status which received plaques and certifi cates at a Healthy Schools confer ence hosted by the county council. Pictured (from the left) are Victo ria Seed (nine), Amy Robinson (11), Lucy Harrison (10) and Scott Hill (10) celebrating the school's healthy status, (s)
Villagers celebrate a welcome addition to community
TOSSIDE residents will no longer have to go fur ther afield to host village activities as, after four years of planning and con struction, a new commu nity hall has finally opened its doors to the public. Olympic silver medallist
Ian Peel was on hand to officially open the new facility, which will provide the social, educational and recreational needs of the small rural community. The former Tosside resi
dent was welcomed by civic dignitaries and more than 200 excited members of the community, who had eagerly awaited the launch of the pur pose-built building. The modern building is
equipped to high standards and comprises.a main hall, small meeting room, computer suite, kitchen and a storeroom.
It will cater for dancers,
bowlers, whist and domino players, the youths and chil dren’s groups, the social com mittee and church folk. Chairman of Tosside Com
munity Link Mr Richard Frankland said: “It is a great pleasure to welcome all our user groups and residents to
the new community facility. We hope it will become a great asset for the village all the peo ple who live in, work in and visit the Tosside area. “On behalf of the commit
tee, I want to offer a ‘big thank you’ to all the agencies, compa nies and individuals, who have helped in any way with this big
undertaking.The building is great
and.fits in well with the village. “We want it to be well used
and to meet all the targets set by our funders.” Our picture shows visitors
outside the community hall ready for the official opening ceremony. (A190604/3)
