Basement of cinema is now an arts centre
A CLITHEROE basement once prepared as a nuclear bunker is helping to pilot a new state-of-the-art Perform
ing Arts Centre. The basement of The Grand
Cinema, in York Street, has been many things in its time, from a police station to a potential refuge from nuclear fallout. Now i t has been transformed
into “Undergrand - Space for Art”, as part of the proposed rede velopment of the York S treet building. “The Grand a t Clitheroe" was
formed as a not-for-profit compa ny in 2002 to take responsibility for the redevelopment of the for mer civic hall, a Grade II listed building and currently home to The Grand Cinema. The Lancaster Foundation, a
charitable tru s t established by Ultraframe founder John Lan caster, is funding the transforma-
tim $U h e W $ $ s { p t o a n ew performing a r ts centre for the
locHle§<®3®hoifift;f§p35ially serv ing the needs of young people. T&S^roject isfelfWkitly in its
that pilot
is the conversion of the basement into “Undergrand, Space for Art”. As well as a surprisingly light
and airy display space, it provides an opportunity for people of all ages and artistic levels to explore a r t through painting, drawing, sculpting and other media in an
imaginative and creative environ
ment. The Undergrand will also have
two artists in residence, Tom and Agnieszka Swoboda, who have pre viously developed a gallery in Cieszyn, in southern Poland. Flyers publicising the Under
grand have been distributed to homes throughout Clitheroe and a steady stream of visitors came to see the new facility for themselves on three open days. Our picture shows Agnieszka Swoboda, one of th e a r t is t s in residence at the Undergrand. (C1005044/6)

Schools pledge to wipe out racism
by Faiza Afzaal
SCHOOLS across the Ribble Valley have joined forces to wipe out racism in the rural borough by signing up to a Race Equality Charter. Ribble Valley Mayor Coun.
Alan Yearing, unveiled the char ter, which is believed to be the first of its kind in the country, at a special ceremony in the council chambers in Clitheroe, on Friday. Headteachers from 29 primary
and secondary schools were pre sented with a framed copy of the ch a rte r, which will be placed prominently in their schools and will promote race equality and develop knowledge, understand ing and an appreciation of ethnic and cultural diversity among the youngsters. The charter gives a clear mes
sage about the commitment of all schools in th e area to develop good community relations within th e schools between all people
Your homes are safe, for now
"NO tenants will be served notice to quit in the foreseeable future" says the managing director of the proper ty group threatening to sell Ribble Valley tenanted homes. Mark Greenwood of Liberty
Property Group told us this week th a t it had been decided to move over a million pounds of equity from some of the company's other proper ties to ease the Ribble Valley proper ty portfolio problem.
The spiralling property market
coupled with low rental payment assistance from the housing benefit department had threatened to drive low income families and single par ents from the area, said Mr Green wood. Highly critical of Ribble Valley
Borough Council's housing manager and of a council which was "allowing what housing stock it has to dwindle away," Mr Greenwood said the
Warning to motorists
MOTORISTS in the Whalley area are being urged to keep an eye on their car badges, follow ing a recent sp ate of thefts. The advice from police
applies particularly to drivers of rare, prestige or sports vehicles. Recently badges were
prised off a Maserati, a Mini Cooper and a Porsche. Insp. Bob Ford, of
TELEVISION crews dropped into the Ribble Valley on Monday to film an episode for Channel 4’s latest h it programme “A place in the Sun - Home and Away.” A team of experts, along
with house hunters from Birmingham, took a closer look at a marvellous exam ple of a stone-built cottage in in the heart of York Vil lage, in Langho. The property, located in
Whalley Old Road, com prises two bedrooms and two reception rooms and
Clitheroe Police, said he thought this was possibly the tip of the iceberg, as many such crimes went unreported. However, since many of
the vehicles were dam aged in th e process of removing badges, repair bills could run into hun dreds of pounds Anyone with informa
tion about the thefts is urged to co n ta c t the police on 01200 443344.

Amanda Lamb, identifies popular places that Britons choose to relocate to. The cottage is .on the

authority was "far too proud to seek the company's help, or even work with us to improve the situation." In the past 12 months, he main
tain s th a t the group has housed more tenants than the council and housing associations together. "We have sunk hundreds of thou
sands of pounds into the Ribble Val ley to help the people who need it. What is the council doing?" asks Mr Greenwood.
Woman on Isle of Man
murder charge in court THE woman accused of murdering former Whal ley man P e te r Roy Ormiston on the Isle of Man has been remanded in custody until June 1st. Ann Marie Gosling
(51), of King’s Reach, Ramsey, did not appear in person when her case came before High Bailiff Michael Moyle on May 4th. Her advocate, Aal- ish Hannan, said Gosling was unable to attend. Mr Ormiston, who
moved out to the island two years ago, was found lying on a roadside verge close to his home on Jan uary 25th. He died from s tab
wounds and Gosling, understood to be his partner, was subsequent ly charged with his mur der.
Mr Ormiston’s body
was later returned to the mainland and a funeral service was held in Whalley.
Accused of brandishing axe
A LANGHO man has appeared before Blackburn magistrates following an incident during which he is alleged to have brandished an axe. Peter. Burrows (42), of Whalley Road, was
remanded on bail until June 23rd after indicating a not guilty plea to a charge of affray. Conditions of bail include residence a t an
address in Blackburn and not to contact his wife, Ann Burrows.

whether adults or children. At the launch, Lan c a sh ire County Council’s cab in e t member for education, Coun. Alan Whittak er, who believes racial inequality should be tackled in all aspects of school life, said th a t he hoped the initiative in the Ribble Valley would be replicated throughout Lancashire and the UK. According to Mr Malcolm
B lackburn, from th e co u n ty council, the idea for the charter began last autumn a t a training meeting a t St James’ Primary School, in Clitheroe. Mr Blackburn said: “We
believe th a t this ch a r te r rein forces the excellent work already being done in our schools, which encourages cross cultural links and develops u n d e rs ta n d in g between people of differing back grounds. “I t also stresses th a t when peo
ple come into our schools, they will be treated with respect and dignity whatever their roots are. “Without the support of all 29
headteachers and governors, this was not possible.” Secondary schools which have
signed up to the charter are: Bow- land High School in Grindleton, Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, Ribblesdale High School Technology College and St Augustine’s RC High School in Billington. Primary schools signed up are:
Balderstone St Leonard’s, Bar- row, Bolton-By-Bowland, Bren- nan d ’s Endowed in Slaidburn, Brookside, Chatburn, Edisford, Gisburn, Grindleton, Mellor St Mary’s, Pendle, Read St. John’s, Sabden, Salesbury, St James’, St Joseph’s RC in Hurst Green, St Leo n ard ’s, S t M a ry ’s RC in Osbaldeston, S t M ary ’s RC in Sabden, St Michael and St John’s RC, St Peter’s,
Simonstone.Thor- neyholme RC, Waddington and West Bradford and Whalley Pri mary School. Our picture shows civic leaders
