MOTORISTS wishing to have their cars washed in the early evenings at weekends can now do so after the nod was given by planning officials to allow the Car Wash Centre, in Clitheroe, to extend its opening hours. Previously the centre, in Peel Street, was restricted to the hours of 7 a.m. to

9 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at weekends, but local planners gave per­ mission to allow the premises to remain open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Satur­ days and Sundays at last Thursday’s' meeting, as the applicant said these were one of the busiest periods of use. One letter of objection was submit­

had proven to be a popular facility in the town and, if used considerately, it


should not cause any undue nuisance to nearby residents. Coun. John McGowan (Clitheroe)


was satisfied with the explanation and recommended the scheme for approval.


Popular ski club to be extended


ONE of the Ribble Valley's most popu­ lar sports facilities is to be extended. Planners have given the go-ahead for a


scheme to extend Pendle Ski Club. The proposal for the club in Clitheroe


Road, Sabden, included alterations to both the nursery and main slopes to make them steeper in parts, extend the car park and clubhouse and install new floodlights. Despite concerns expressed by Sabden


Parish Council regarding the height and number of lights, which it claimed would stand out against the hill whether they are lit or not, and the size of the pro­ posed car park, members of the borough council’s Planning and Development Committee approved the scheme. Chief planning officer, Mr John


Macholc, outlined in his report: “I am satisfied that the new building in its loca­ tion next to the existing building is of an appropriate design and that it would not have an impact on the visual amenity. “I am also satisfied that the additional


ski run could be reasonably well screened so as to minimise the impact and that the improvement of the lighting would not lead to excessive light pollution.”

cashire schools, she retired as head teacher of Bolton-by-Bowland CE School at the end of the summer term. Little did she know that she was in for a week of surprises. Her first came following a cryp­ tic message inviting her to attend


a barbecue. She arrived to discover a mar­

champagne prior to a power-point presentation on one of the school's new interactive whiteboards, with pictures and text produced by the


pupils. "I was totally overwhelmed,"


she said! Consequently, she was even more surprised when, on the Monday evening following the leavers’ service in church, she was presented with a patchwork quilt, commissioned to be made by spe­ cialist Jenny Kittos. The quilt is covered with dis­


creetly sewn pictures relating to Mrs Ashmore, from her pet dog and cat, to a school handbell and images depicting her interests.


Goodbye poem


At certain times, most every day, No matter what the weather,


Men and women are dressing up in bright sunshiny yellow.


Besides the busy road they stand with trusty lollipop at hand.


Their wisdom then they need to share with girls and boys all crossing there. We don’t do it for the money and get back more than we give.


What could be more rewarding than to help a child to live?


These children are our future and everyone of them a gem.


I for one get a real big buzz out of looking after them.

CHILDREN from Barrow Pri­ mary School said goodbye to “lollipop lady” and talented poet Mrs Irene Charlton as she retired after eight-and-a-half lucky, safe and successful years of guiding pupils to safety. But she will not be far from


her old workplace in her retire-.: ment as i t is just three doors, away from her home in Birch

Borough Printing, in York Street, Clitheroe, where one day she happened to be chatting to her friend (former Barrow Pri­ mary School’s lollipop lady) and discovered she was retiring. Without thinking twee, she


decided to apply for the job and was successful. She said: “Because I lived so


near to the school, I always loved talking to the schoolchil­ dren. When my friend said she was retiring, I decided to apply


for the job. “The weather was not a prob­


lem for me because for 23 years of my life I cycled to and from . work, regardless of the weather. “During my time a t the


school, I loved getting to know the children and parents and have made a lot of friends. Just watching them grow has been a fabulous experience for me.” Commenting on Mrs Charl­


ton’s valuable service to the school, headteacher Mrs Chris­


tine Machi, said: “She is proba­ bly the most talented woman in this land and we are very sad to be losing her. She frequently read out poems in assembly, written by herself. “The school crossing


patrollers have a very impor­ tant job keeping the children


' safe when crossing the road and Mrs'Charlton was always on time and all the staff and par­ ents thank her for her devotion to looking after the children.” A well-attended presentation


was held for Mrs Charlton on Friday to mark her retirement and she received a big bunch of flowers, lots of cards and a beautiful cut glass paperweight from the school as a token of appreciation. “I will be sad to miss all the


people I meet while out on patrol,: but they won’t be far away. I have promised that I will regularly attend assembly and read out my poems. “I am looking forward to


spending time with my hus­ band, Bryan, and going on holi-

Mrs Charlton’s farewell celebra­ tions. In the evening she was taken for a ride by her neigh­ bour in a pink Cadillac, which previously belonged to former “Coronation Street” star Ken Morley (better known as Reg Holdsworth). Mrs Charlton is pictured

Ashmore's turn to say “thank you” as she organised a special retirement party for all 59 chil­ dren at the school in the village

A SHIFT of 12 hours followed by a few drinks proved to be a recipe for a row for chef Gary Ainsworth. Blackburn magistrates heard


his partner was not impressed when he returned home and she later asked police to remove him from her house. Ainsworth (34), of Riverside,


Clitheroe, admitted a breach of the peace and was bound over in the sum of £150 to keep the


peace for 12 months. Mr David Hartley (prosecut­


ing), said police were called to the house in the early hours and Ainsworth was clearly the worse for drink. The officers saw a woman crying and shaking and she asked them to remove Ainsworth from the house. “He became aggressive and


was arrested,” said Mr Hartley. Mr Ian Huggan (defending),


said his client had gone for a few drinks and a game of pool after finishing a 12-hour shift and when he returned home there was an argument.
