F or all your gardening needs... Jennifer’s design delights company
AN artistic Clitheroe Royal Gram mar School Sixth Form Centre stu dent has designed a new corporate logo for a Ribble Valley company. Seventeen-year-old Jennifer Lay-
cock, of Simonstone, produced the winning logo for Towers and Gor- nall Accountants, which is based at The Printworks on Ribble Valley Enterprise Park.
Speaker’s journey
back through time AT the last meeting for this season of the Whalley and District Histor ical and Archaeological Society, the speaker was Mrs Jan Graffius, cura tor of Stohyhurst College. She spoke pn the fascinating his
tory of the college. The original school was founded by St Ignatius more than 400 years ago as a Jesuit teaching order, to the formation of the present college at Stonyhurst some 200 years ago. Members were interested to learn
of the Holy relics held at the college and the exceptional Arundel Library housed there, which was given by Lord Arundel. The new season starts on Septem
ber 8th when Mr A. Retford will, speak on “Mediaeval Misericords in Northern England”.

The company’s management
decided their existing logo needed updating and rather than employ graphic designers, they agreed it would be a better idea to give local students the opportunity. To thank the school and those
pupils who took part, the company presented the school with a digital camera and printer. Meanwhile,
Jennifer and runners-up Kate Hal ley and Sydnee Horner, both 17 were also presented with vouchers. Picture sho^ys Mick Gornall,
partner at Towers and Gorriall Accountants with Jennifer Laycock from Clitheroe Royal Grammar School and the winning design she created for the company. (B030505/6)

A NEW service aimed at help ing the elderly live independent ly in their homes has been launched in the Ribble Valley. “Home Care and Repair” is the
brainchild of St Vincent’s Housing Association and Age Concern Lan cashire. I t is funded by Ribble Valley
Borough Council and Lancashire County Council Social Services. The scheme mil offer advice, sup
port and assistance to elderly resi dents.
This is aimed at helping them
live independently, safely and com fortably.
It is targeted at elderly owner- occupiers and tenants, who are dis
abled, or who are in receipt of bene
fits. Home Care and Repair was
launched at a special “surgery” at the Ribble Valley Council Offices. I t is hoped to expand the scheme with the introduction of a handy
man service. The handyman will carry out
minor home repairs for a reasonable charge, helping clients avoid the “rip off” tactics of some unscrupu lous contractors.
. The free surgeries will be held on
the third Tuesday of each month at the Ribble Valley Council Offices m, Church Street, Clitheroe, and the first Thursday of each month at
Long'ridge Civic Hall. ' Everyone is welcome. •

business use. They also expressed concerns about
highway safety if the extension was for business use and noise disturbance of
■ patients visiting the site at all hours. A report presented to the committee
pointed out that previous extensions to the property had already increased it by 67% so the proposed new extension would enlarge it by 150%. This contravenes guidelines set out in the
council’s Supplementary Planning Guid ance, Extensions and Alterations to Dwellings, that as a guide properties
should be extended to a maximum of by, approximately 67%.
______ Despite this, the report presented to
councillors stated that although the exten sion was considerably larger than expected due to its location among the large, spaced out properties and plot size that it was an acceptable increase and would not have a detrimental impact on its setting, consider ing the mix of commercial and residential buildings in the area which are on various scales. ■Three residents objected to the scheme
at the meeting along with representatives of Sabden Parish Council. Three councillors also spoke out against the application.

A SPECIAL piece of Ribble Valley rock is set to play a starring role at the Chelsea Flower Show later this
month. Bardon Aggregates’ quarry at
Waddington Fell is producing a special range of garden furniture made out of its quarried sandstone for display on the Bradstone garden at the prestigious gar dening event, which begins on Tuesday. Pictured here are Mr James Sargent
(left), a member of the show garden design team appointed by Bradstone, and Mr Carl Holmes, Waddington Fell’s stone mason, hand picking chunks of sandstone
to turn into chairs, a bench and a table. The chosen stone is being cut into
shape at Waddington Fell’s Dimensional Stone operation, which produces a range of bespoke sandstone products including paving, walling and architectural pieces. The bench has been produced from
three tonnes of quarried sandstone, with the table weighing two and a half tonnes and the chairs weighing a hefty half a tonne each. The theme for this year’s garden is
“The Spring Garden”, which explores how to adapt a well-established garden into a useable space for the 21st Century. The garden can be viewed at the
Chelsea Flower Show between May 24th and 28th on the Rock Bank.
