Concern for pupils after crossing is switched off


SCHOOLCHILDREN in Clitheroe -were in danger of being knocked over by traffic on a busy road after a pelican crossing was switched off due to roadworks, claim parents. Lancashire County Council


engineers had been altering and impro-ving the surfacing near the pelican crossing in WhaUey Road, Clitheroa A number of concerned par­ ents of pupils attending St


James Primary School and Rib- blesdale High School Technolo­ gy College contacted the Clitheroe Advertiser claiming that the scene when school had finished was “utterly danger­ ous” and “chaotic” ■with traffic whizzing past and youngsters not being able to cross the busy road. Similar views were expressed by head-teacher Mr Paul Adnitt, who said the road­ works posed an accident risk and as a consequence he is in the


process of writing a letter of complaint to the county council. He said: “The situation was


awful and no one from the high­ ways department thought to' inform us at the school. “The crossing on Whalley


Road is very important for schoolchildren as we don’t have a school crossing patroller.” In response, a spokesman for


Lancashire County Council, said: “Our engineers were installing anti-skid treatment to


Whalley Road. This is a hot substance used to re-surface the; road. However, in order to ! install the surface, it is very i important that the weather is ' dry and therefore, we cannot' inform people when the work; ■will be carried out.


of three hours to settle and we had no alternative than to switch off the pelican crossing to avoid motorists and pedestrians walking over the surface.”

Grindleton, is getting ready to launch its first ever radio sta­ tion, a f te r being granted a three-day licence to broadcast by OFCOM. “B-H Bop”, which goes on


air from Monday, ■will feature a variety of music, local infor­ mation, studio guests, local travel, weather reports and will be available to hear within, a three-mile radius of the school. The project, set up by radio


broadcaster Mr David Blax- hall’s company. The Radio Surgery, specialises in training schools and colleges in the art of radio broadcasting. For the past three weeks, 10 pupils at the secondary school


have received training in the operation of studio equip­ ment, how to project them­ selves on air, script-reading and various interviewing tech­ niques. Mrs Jeneane Williams, net­


work manager and project co­ ordinator, said: “This exciting project will enhance the stu­ dents’ communication skills, confidence and dexterity. “I t is also an ideal platform


to raise awareness about the school and our acti-vities.” You can tune into B-H Bop


on 106 FM from Monday, and programmes will run from Tuesday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

(C220904/2)


ON Saturday, the wet and stormy weather did not deter eight members of the Clitheroe Ramblers from set­ ting off to the ■village of Conis- ton, in the Lake District. They donned their water­


proofs in a very heavy shower of rain only to set off walking in fine and brightening weath­ er.


Church Beck was a raging


torrent and really spectacular as the group made their way up to the Copper Mines Val­ ley and Coniston Quarries.


Ramblers’ trip to the Lakes A short break was taken in


the warm sunshine and the walkers removed their water­ proofs before tackling the steep ascent to Coniston Old Man at 2633ft. After, lunch, which was


taken in the lee of the summit cairn, the group set off in fair­ ly windy conditions over Brim Fell to Swirl How at 2630ft. The group, led by David


Taylor, had enjoyed a super walk in wonderful weather, if a little windy, with clear views of the hills and coast.


Huge Savings! i “The material needed a total: Our picture shows some of the 500 Brownies gearing up for an eventful weekend (C250904/8b) Brownies celebrate! by Faiza Afzaal


MORE than 500 Brownies from across the North West descended on the Ribble Valley to celebrate the 90th bir thday of the Brownie movement. Despite the wet and cold weather over the


weekend, the youngsters turned out in force at Waddow Hall, in the picturesque village of Waddington, to take part in the weekend-long celebratory acti’vities. A variety of exciting and thrilling activities


were staged, which included grass sledging, archery and young fanatical footballers were able to show off their fancy footwork by taking part in a series of football coaching sessions. Other popular attractions included craft work­


shops, where the youngsters had the opportunity to try their hands at face painting and try their hands at a variety of fun-packed games. The day catered for senior Brownies aged


between eight to 16 and to mark nine decades of the popular association, the young girls were able to witness a spectacular firework display and a 9ft. high bonfire. Speaking on the success of the event, manager


for Waddow Hall, Mr Paul Etheridge, said: “The event was a resounding success. “All the girls that attended said that they


would love to return to the picturesque borough and camp for the weekend. “Overall it was a fantastic weekend for all the


Brownies and I would like to thank all the staff who pulled together to make it a huge success.” The celebrations ended with the girls camping overnight Saturday and singing songs.
