• The additional bedroom area is particu­


larly important in allowing the centre to provide facilities for groups where dormito­ ry accommodation is not appropriate. Don McKay, Forest of Bowland Area of


Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) offi- • cer, said: "Smelt Mill provides a significant service in enabling community groups to explore and enjoy the countryside in a safe and well-equipped environment with quali­ fied instructors. “The proposed additional facilities will


enable the centre to offer a wider range of activities, enhancing an already valuable asset in the Forest of Bowland." Andy Binstead, from the Bowland Pen­


nine Mountain Rescue Team, said: "We are ■ really pleased the county council has given usthisgrant. “To an organisation th a t has to raise almost every penny itself through fuhd-

raising and street collections, an award like this makes a huge difference. “The extension will enable us to provide


better accommodation to youth groups who are enjoying the outdoors, as well as better emergency command and control facilities for the team." County Coun. Mary Wilson, who repre­


sents Dunsop Bridge and is also vice-chair­ man of the AONB Committee, said: "The Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team are all volunteers who provide an invaluable front line support service in their own time. “They work in close partnership with


other agencies, enabling both residents and visitors to enjoy the challenging yet beauti­ ful Lancashire countryside in safety. "Lancashire County Council is extreme­


ly pleased to be able to assist with the work of such an inspiring and worthwhile organi­ sation."


Fewer ‘superbug’ cases are reported


FEWER cases of infection by the so-called “hospital super­ bug” MRSA were reported for the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust in the latest official figures. The mandatory figures for


MRSA infection rates, pub­ lished this week, show that dur­ ing the six months from April to September, 2005, the East Lan­ cashire Trust reported 25 cases of MRSA infection. ■ This compares with 33 cases


for the previous six months and a rate of 0.13 compared to 0.16 previously. - Though figures are reported


by individual Trusts, not all infections are necessarily acquired in th a t Trust, as patients are sometimes trans­ ferred between trusts and some infections may have been acquired in the community. Dr Howard Sacho, Director of


^ ■ L : - ; i v ; > U


Infection Control for the East Lancashire Trust, said: “This repor t demonstrates the progress made to date within


■ the organisation as we continue to work to improve our rates of hospital-acquired infection. Trust Chief Executive Jo


Cubbon added: “It is encourag­ ing to see that the measures we have put in place to reduce hos­ pital-acquired infections are having a positive effect. “However, we cannot be com­


placent and while we are fore­ casting an overall reduction in MRSA bacteraemia cases this year, we have further work to do to ensure we reach the 2008 tar­ get of a 50% reduction in cases overall. I continue to urge all staff, patients and visitors to treat the control of infection as an urgent priority and to play their part every day to reduce levels of infection.”

Gash on hand for youth groups


VOLUNTARY youth groups in the Kibble Valley will soon be able to benefit from additional funding. Lancashire County Council’s


Youth and Community Service, which supports youth groups through training, equipment and technical support, is offer­ ing grants of up to £4,000 to small groups which operate in the Kibble Valley. • Available to registered units


of 13 to 19-years-olds, the serv­ ice aims to offer support to the valuable work of voluntary col­ leagues through the gaining of new equipment. Especially keen to hear from groups who do not receive any


financial suppor t from the county council, the service has previously helped groups in obtaining sports equipment, digital cameras, arts materials, storage units, outdoor activities equipment and camping gear. Anyone interested should


write to Sir Bill Taylor, district team manager, Lancashire Youth and Community Service in the Kibble Valley, Lancashire House, Sidings Business Park, Whalley, BB7 9SE, with details of the group, their finances and why it wants support. The clos­ ing date for applications is Fri­ day, February 24th.................. ' Please mark the letter DYC- SCAC Grants..


Lost toy back safe and sound


A LOST toy dog has been found safe and well. Mrs Irene Duckworth, of


Clitheroe, lodged an appeal in last week’s edition of the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, for people to help with the recovery of her 18-month- old granddaughter’s favourite toy. The toy was last seen in tlie.


vicinity of Pendle Primary School. Mrs Duckworth was pleased to report th a t Kate’s pink, curly coated “jellycat” toy dog had been handed into the school by a pupil. She thanked all the readers who joined the search and said both her granddaughters are thrilled to have their friend back.
