RESIDENTS' feedback a t a recent open evening to discuss traf fic arrangements for the Royal Lancashire Show has been used to amend the plans drawn up by police and the show society. The changes follow the successful
open evening held at the De Tabley Arms, Ribchester, where residents were invited to view the proposed traffic plans designed to ensure the free-flow of traffic to and from the showground later this month. During the evening around 35 local

people discussed the plans with police and Royal Lancashire Show Society representatives. Many residents were pleased with
“/:: v j
the work undertaken regarding the for ward-planning for the show and were happy to be involved in discussions to further improve the plans. Insp. Bob Ford, the officer in charge
■ '
of policing in the Ribble Valley, com mented: "It has always been important to us that the residents in and around Dinckley are satisfied that all agencies involved are doing our best to ensure that problems with traffic flow to the showground are kept to an absolute
minimum.That was the main purpose for the meeting earlier this month. We have learnt a lot of lessons from last year and planning for this year's show
started a long time ago to ensure we have made significant improvements." He added: "Some residents who
attended the open evening very right ly expressed their concerns about spe cific areas of the traffic plan which directly affected them, and after this consultation and a further look at the arrangements we have made alter ations to address those concerns." All those affected have been notified of the amendments in writing by Insp. Ford. Mr Rennie Pinder, chairman of the
Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society said: "The society welcomed all the res idents' comments relating to the details of the traffic plan. As a result of this feedback and by working closely'with the police we have refined the plans to provide further assistance to residents travelling during the show days."
VIPs and local schoolchildren alike converged at Castle Cement’s Clitheroe quarries, in celebration of the company’s first-ever “Bug Week”. The event, which celebrated the
quarry’s wildlife diversity, was organised to run in conjunction with National Insect Week, a new initiative from the Royal Entomo logical Society and sponsored by Castle Cement. Throughout the week, visitors
enjoyed a beekeeping demonstra tion and local ecologist Ron Freethy talked about the exciting array of insects and other wildlife, which have made the Ribblesdale quarry their home.
Bug Week gets the thumbs up! Guest of honour Lord Clitheroe,
president of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, praised the quarry’s diversi ty and commitment to nature. In celebration of National Insect
Week, Castle Cement also invited children from nine Ribble Valley primary schools to write a poem on their favourite insect. Well over 400 youngsters entered
the competition and the winners will be announced within the next few weeks. Our picture shows Mr Freethy
with (clockwise from front) Car olyn McCaffrey, Misa Iwaki, Jack Bowtell and Laura Roberts looking for creepy crawlies. (B170604/4)

HOUSING bosses in the Ribble Valley are to hold crisis talks with private landlords in a bid to try to provide rented accommodation to local people who are facing the prospect of moving out of the area because they cannot afford
the spiralling property prices. The move comes after a bid to build affordable homes in the Ribble Valley using
private cash was thrown out by the Govern ment last month. Ribble Valley Borough Council had
applied for a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) for the provision of affordable homes in the area. The funding would have enabled a private
company to build houses, which would have either been rented or sold to local people who, due to escalating house prices, are find ing it impossible to get on to the property ladder. Money from the council and the Govern
ment would have been paid back to the pri vate company over a set period, enabling the homes to be built immediately, rather than waiting for public funds to be made available. In December, a draft bid for PFI credit
was submitted to the Government, but last month the council was told it had been unsuccessful. The weakest aspect of the proposal was
that there was an element of uncertainty about the continuation of Ribble Valley as a district authority, and because of the authority’s size and lack of PFI experience, the Government did not feel the scheme would be quick to get off the ground. The announcement has upset Coun.
Joyce Holgate, chairman of the borough’s housing committee. She said: “We are extremely disappointed that we lost the
money. “How are we supposed to gain the experi
ence to handle private money if we are not given a chance? “I thought we would fit the criteria
because we desperately need affordable homes in the Ribble Valley.” Soaring accommodation costs in the rural
borough have been a cause of concern for quite some time now. Earlier this year the council’s Housing
Forum held its twice-annual meeting where it was announced by officials that more than 500 prospective council tenants were chasing just 26 properties during the course
of a year. The borough council’s housing manager,
Mrs Christine Grimshaw, is now working on alternative projects to tackle the housing crisis sweeping through the borough, but is determined to bid again next year. She said: “This is the first time we sub

mitted a proposal for the private cash, how ever, we were informed by the Government that due to the round being oversubscribed we had been unsuccessful. “We were told that there had been a total
of 10 bids submitted for the PFI funding and only one district council was among the
successful bidders. “This does not dash our hopes as we are
determined to bid again next year. “Currently, the council is working on var
ious projects to provide accommodation for local people, including liaising with private landlords to rent properties to local people struggling to buy a house in the rural bor
ough.” O The borough and town councils have
joined forces to undertake the town's biggest-ever housing survey in a bid to plan long-term housing in the borough. And the managing director of Great Har
wood-based Liberty Property Group, Mr Mark Greenwood is calling on the borough’s landlords and estate agents to form a Rib ble Valley housing action group for young people to secure a home in the district. His suggestion is that estate agents could
have a preferred buyer programme where a number of their properties under £100,000 should be offered for sale to first-time or young buyers only.

RESIDENTS in Ribchester will soon be able to take part in a number of sports activities after the nod was given by local planners for multi-games and skateboard areas to be built at the village’s playing fields. The plan to extend the exist
