No crisis over Parkwise funding


RUMOURS that the Parkwise Scheme is in a funding crisis have been dismissed by council


officials. A recent report by Kib­


ble Valley Borough Coun­ cil’s street scene manager, Mr Graham dagger, revealed that the council is owed £25,000 by Lan­ cashire County Council, which runs the county­ wide Parkwise scheme.


Pupils give to needy children


CHILDREN at Gisburn Primary School have been working hard to ensure tha t Christmas this year is a happy time for children from around


the world. They have once again


been involved in creating Christmas gift boxes for the charity “Operation Christmas Child”. The school library has become a Christmas


Grotto as the boxes are stored before beginning their long journey to reach children from some of the world’s most deprived areas in time for Christmas. Mrs Ashworth, the


school’s deputy head­ teacher, said; “The chil­ dren are always very moved by the images tha t they see on televi­ sion of children from


around the world whose lives are affected by poverty, hunger and nat­ ural disasters. “The wonderful


response th a t we get shows just how much our children care.” Our pic­ tures shows, from the left, Daisy Cocks, James Grummett and Humaira Patel helping to sort the bo.xes before they are col lected. (s)


Helen’s words of wisdom


"DON'T eat all your little treats at once this Christ­ mas" was among the advice given at the November meeting of Rib­ ble Valley Diabetic Group. These words of wisdom


came from dietician Helen Loughlane, who is based at Blackburn Royal Infir­ mary, and Janette Daeth, based at Accrington Victo­ ria Hospital. They went into detail,


illustrated by slides, of the ingredients of food, partic­ ularly carbohydrates, the


amounts of these being particularly vital for those taking insulin. They advised checking blood sugar levels and adjusting insulin dosage where nec­ essary and if possibe to check on food availability and quantity at parties, planning the day if possi­ ble, having a snack after alcohol, keeping fat intake down and the use of diet mixer drinks. Following a conference


he had attended, the group’s chairman, Gordon


Store’s computer gift for whiz kid children


RIBBLE VALLEY school pupils could become the next generation of comput­ er whiz kids thanks to Tesco in Clitheroe. The supermarket has


donated computer equip­ ment to five Ribble Valley schools as part of its Com­ puter for Schools scheme. Ribble Valley MP Nigel


Evans presented the equipment to pupils from Clitheroe’s Brookside Pri­ mary School, St Michael and St John R.C. School and Pendle Primary School, as well as St Augustine’s R.C. High School, Billington, and Brennands Endowed Pri­ mary School, Slaidburn.


Through the scheme,


customers are given a voucher for every £10 spent in a single transac­ tion. They are then free to donate the vouchers to a school of their choice. Since the scheme began


in 1992, schools have received over £90m worth of computer equipment including almost 55,000 computers and more than 600,000 items of addition­ al equipment, such as printers and software. Pictured is Tesco man­


ager Phil Mallery and MP Nigel Evans presenting computer equipment to pupils from local schools. {B211105/1)


Dixon, informed the meet­ ing th a t next year “sharps” - the needles used to check bood sugars and those for injections - would not be collected with household waste. Let­ ters would be distributed to each household. The group meets on the


second Monday of each month, the next meeting being on January 9th with Sister Stephanie Zak, dia­ betes specialist nurse at Whalley Medical Practice, speaking about her work.


The report, which was


discussed at last month’s Planning and Develop­ ment Committee, read as follows; “An account was sent to the county council in May this year for pay­ ment of the 2005/04 deficit. This has not yet


been paid. “The county council


now want to review and revise the method of accounting for these costs for all districts and set a


consistent template by which accounts are pro­


duced. “Meanwhile, the council


are owed £25,000 for


2004/05.” However, a spokesman


for the council said; “This is a minor hiccup. “At the present time


county council owes us money, but that is not to say the matter cannot be


resolved. “Parkwise is a new


scheme and with any new projects, it will take time for the financial matter to be settled.” Mr dagger added in his


report; “By and large parking enforcement in the Ribble Valley is working well. “Efficient and effective


enforcement is what we try to achieve, responding to complaints received about problem areas wherever possible.”


Santa to visit Valley youngsters


FRIENDS and neigh­ bours in Bolton-by-Bow- land are anxiously await­ ing the arrival of a very special guest this Saturday. Father Christmas is tak­

He is expected to arrive at around noon by horse drawn sleigh along main street and everyone is invited to come along and welcome him, the more the merrier. The village hall has also
