10 Clilheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, March 9th, 2006 Company making changes
A CLITHEROE company says it is continuing to work closely with its neighbours to make changes to the way it operates. A letter printed in last week’s
Clitheroe Advertiser and Times raised awareness about how the “actions of some people affect- other people’s lives”. The letter ^ t e r , who request
ed anonymity, said he/she was having to leave a job with a local company due to operational changes caused by opposition from those living nearby to an
application for an operator’s licence for night-time movement. The writer concluded: “I sympa thise with you on the noise issue, but please also spare a thought for the employee”. This week a spokesman for Ultraframe, the company concerned, said; “Through a process of consulta tion, Ultraframe continues to work closely with its employees, local residents and local authori ties to implement operational changes necessary for Ultraframe to remain competitive.”

Miss Dickens’ work are already in situ in the grounds of the Old Zoo, along with works by other leading international sculptors. The current development has
