A royal chat to remember for the Mayor with a ‘very gracious lady’


THE Ribble Valley Mayor Coun. Charles Warkman was selected out of a crowd of around 8,000 people to speak to the Queen at a recent royal garden party. I t was the tie Coun. Warkman was wearing, displaying the crest of the Ribble Valley, that caught the eye of one of the Queen’s equerries when the Mayor and his wife attended the garden party at Buck­ ingham Palace. Coun. Warkman explained: “The gen­


tlemen walk around and select faces who they feel will be interesting for Her Majesty the Queen to talk to.” In Coun. Warkman’s case, they spotted


his tie displaying the Ribble Valley crest and asked where he was from. “I said I was from the Ribble Valley and


after conferring, they said 'the Queen would like a word with you’.” Coun. Warkman was then taken to one


side and advised that any conversations with the Queen should remain private - protocol that he has promised to respect. What Coun. Warkman could say


though was that the Queen was “a very gracious lady”. He added: “It was a wonderful experi­


ence. I felt very proud to represent the Ribble Valley in that way.” Coun Warkman is the oldest mayor in


the borough council’s 30-year history at the age of 86 and there is speculation he could be the oldest mayor in the country. Former Ribble Valley Mayor Coun Alan


Yearing and his wife, Susan, also repre­ sented the Ribble Valley at the party. Coun Warkman told the Clitheroe


Advertiser and Times that apart from meeting the Queen he also had the plea­ sure of speaking to the Bishop of Sheffield, who was standing behind him in the crowd. The two men previously met at


Clitheroe Royal Grammar School’s 450th anniversary Founders Day service, at which the Bishop had spoken. (T170504/5b)

Too much routine can fill your days with grey monotony; adding splashes of colour to your home environment may be just what you need to give you a lift.

Helping out with charitable humanitarian causes gives you a sense of worth and the satisfaction that comes with being of use.

Grants on hand for rural youth


by Rebecca Wright


LOCAL youth organisations are being offered a unique opportunity to gain extra fund­


ing. The Local Network Fund is


offering grants of up to £7,000 to help out disadvantaged children in the Ribble Valley. The area is currently under-rep­


resented in funding from the organ­ isation, so it wants to encourage more groups or individuals to come forward. Local community or voluntary


groups for young people up to 19 who provide opportunities on a range of themes can take advantage of the funding scheme. Themes include "Isolation and


Access" - affecting many children in the rural areas of the Ribble


Valley - where support and oppor­ tunities are offered to young people who have difficulty accessing ser­ vices available to other young peo­


ple. "Aspiration and Experience" is


another theme, where groups may be helping those who missed out on childhood experiences others take for granted. "Economically Disadvantaged"


children are being targeted, with schemes that help families improve their living standards and cope with being on a low income. The "Children’s Voice" is a theme


the fund wants to concentrate on, which will give young people the chance to express their opinions and contribute to improving issues that concern them. So far the fund has supported


projects that distribute donated nursery equipment to families in


Shaping future of Valley services


RESIDENTS in the Ribble Valley were asked to help shape the delivery of public services in the rural borough at a special exhibition. It focused on the “Ribble Valley Com­


munity Strategy” - a blueprint for how the council hopes to deliver services over the next decade. Held a t the Ribble Valley Council


Chamber, the exhibition gave residents an opportunity to comment on the draft strategy and influence the final version. They were also asked their views on the


future of services such as community safety, tourism, housing, car parking, health and culture. Local authorities are required by law to


produce a strategy spelling out their com­ munity’s aspirations, needs and priorities. The strategy co-ordinates the actions of public, private, voluntary and communi­ ty groups, and shapes the activity of those organisations to meet community needs. Residents could also attend the Ribble


Valley Strategic Partnership annual board meeting. The partnership, spear­ headed by Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil, comprises public and private sector groups, community and voluntary organ­ isations, and is responsible for producing the strategy.


Ribble Valley Council regeneration


officer Anne Borland said: “The Commu­ nity Strategy will influence what services are prioritised and delivered in the area. We want to get it right and need as much input as possible from local residents. . “We will be consulting the public


throughout the summer, starting with the exhibition and open board meeting.” Further details about the Ribble Valley


Community Strategy are available from Anne Borland on 01200 414531.

LOCAL planners have given permis­ sion for a first-floor extension over an existing kitchen extension at the rear of a house in Whittle Close, Clitheroe, for use as a bedroom.

enable a mobile information service and playbus to operate in isolated areas, and also drama workshops to examine the effects of bullying, Liz Aslam, the small groups


development officer for the CVS, said: “Organisations with children who live in rural areas in the Ribble Valley - who may not have access to parks, facilities, or have little contact with other children - would benefit greatly from the scheme. “We are also looking for any new


ideas for youth groups that might need a helping hand to get started.” Please contact Liz Aslam or


Jemshad Ahmed at Hyndbum and Ribble Valley CVS on 01200 422995 to find out how your group can get involved.
