SHOPKEEPERS in Clitheroe and the surrounding area are snapping up grants to improve their premises. Clitheroe the Future, through its
Market Town Initiative, succeeded in securing funding from the North West Development Agency to cre ate a grant scheme for businesses in and around the town. It aliows them to improve their shop fronts or increase their commercial floor space. Additional money was provided
by Ribble Valley Borough Council and the scheme, introduced in Feb ruary, has already attracted 35 inquiries from businesses in Clitheroe, Chatburn and Whalley. Now the first of the new grants
have been awarded. The scheme is administered by
the borough council’s Regeneration Unit and any retailer interested should contact Anne Borland on 414531 for an information and application pack. I t is planned to extend the scheme to other areas of Clitheroe’s hinterland. Richard Jackson, project manag er for Clitheroe the Future, said:
“The scheme has encouraged peo ple to look a t making a contribu tion to improving the townscape and because of the success I am trying to secure additional funding to support it.” Successful grant recipient “Mai-
son” , of York Street, Clitheroe, was able to expand its existing retail showroom to over 2,000 square feet.: Proprietor Mrs Annette Chitty
said: “This is a fantastic scheme; just what Clitheroe’s smail business community needs. “This grant money provides a welcome incentive,” she added.

representative and their supporters to talk to their parliamentary candi date, the youngsters held a “Ques tion Time” style debate.
A diverse range of questions was
posed on issues such as the local school admissions policy, attitudes to setting aside agricultural land for motocross sport, the state of the National Health Service and immi gration. Labour candidate Jack Davenport
struggled to defend many of his party’s policies particularly on issues surrounding British troop’s presence in Iraq, while Liberal Democrat Mrs Young impressed the incisive minds of pupils ivith an explanation of her views on abortion. Mr Evans also seemed to win
pupils’ support, promising to look into the local school admissions poli cy if he is re-elected. Head of English a t St Mary’s
Hall, Stonyhurst, Catherine Robin son, who organised the event, com mented; “I’m extremely proud of all the pupils. “Considering they are so young, to
engage with some of the concepts we were dealing with is quite impres sive.” She added that pupils had felt real
ly upbeat after the debate, with only one of the pupils deciding to defect from Labour to the Conservatives. All pupils at the school aged seven
years and over will be allowed to vote in the college’s mock polling station on May 5th. The school will also be carrying out its own opinion polls before election day.' Unable to attend the event, but
also standing in the Ribble Valley election, is UKIP candidate Kevin Henry.
