Eight-legged stowaway startles staff at centre


STARTLED staff at a Ribble Valley garden centre did their best Little Miss Muffet impressions when an unwel­ come guest made his presence felt! They legged it when the eight-legged intruder scuttled


from a consignment of flower pots shipped in from the Far East. Once over the fright, the staff at Shackletons, Chatburn,


captured the menacing minibeast and called in the Envi­ ronmental Health team from Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil.


Having consulted experts, they identified it as a Hunts­


man spider, also known as a banana spider because it is often imported in consignments of bananas from tropi­ cal countries. Although it can


give a nasty nip if handled, its venom is harmless to humans except in very rare cases when an allergic reaction can occur. In fact, the


Huntsman is a wel­ come guest in many tropical homes due to its ability to despatch and devour cockroaches! Senior Environmental Health officer Eamonn Roberts


commented: “I can understand why the people who found him were alarmed. He’s about four inches across and you wouldn’t want him running up your trouser leg! ‘I haven’t seen anything like this before in this country


and he’s certainly bigger and scarier than our domestic spi­ ders.” Nicknamed “Bob” by staff at the council, he proved


quite an attraction among staff during his brief stay there, although they were keen to keep the lid on his jar!


NigeFs plea for festive prizes


A VILLAGE publican who is laying on a free Christ­ mas meal for local pension­ ers is appealing to business­ es or individuals to donate bingo prizes. Nigel Riley, of the Black


Bull, Chatburn, is provid­ ing the festive meal for 40 local pensioners at Chat­ burn Community Centre on December 13th. He has persuaded suppli­


ers to donate wine and now is hoping local shops and businesses will come up with prizes for games to entertain his guests. Any­ one who can help should ring Nigel on 01200 440878.

Anger at TIC closure move • cbntihucd'from'pagc 1-'


TIC for 13 years, is devas­ tated by the plans. “I think it’s terrible. It’s a


complete loss of a commu­ nity facility. We get hun­ dreds of thousands of tourists through our doors. It would have been good if someone consulted us about the closure.” Also unhappy about the


lack of consultation is Mrs Lesley Edmondson (58), the TIC’s information assis­ tant. “David told me the news on Friday and I was absolutely shocked. I have had sleepless nights all weekend,” she said. “I have attended several

courses in the past on which I have been taught that Lancashire is a place where everyone matters. So, what is happening here? “The service we provide


is not just for visitors. A lot of people we help on a regu­ lar basis are elderly or dis­ abled people who cannot get help elsewhere. I just feel really sad for them. I’m also angry that we had to find out about the closure in this way. “Working at the TIC has


been one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had and I ’m just furious that the council now wants to close this highly valued facility.” Earlier this week, Mr

Chris Hughes, the borough council’s community devel­ opment manager, said: “We


have received no official notification of any changes to the current arrangements with Lancashire County Council. “If newspaper reports are


true, then it will have seri­ ous consequences for the delivery of tourist informa­ tion services in Ribble Val­ ley. Our main concern is the lack of any consultation about the proposed closure, which has caused us embar­ rassment, as well as concern to our staff and colleagues in the tourism sector.” In response. County


Coun. Chris Cheetham, Cabinet member for adult and community services, said: “Libraries are develop­ ing into places where people can access information and services in one location. They are becoming hubs for local communities with the number of visitors general­ ly rising around Lancashire, although the number of people using them to bor­ row books is falling. “The proposal to close


county information centres in Chorley, Ciitheroe and Lytham will save hundreds of thousands of pounds in future years on renting premises. The centres are fundamentally tourist infor­ mation ou tle ts and the information could be pro­ vided through public libraries, district council one-stop-shops and online. “We will be talking to


people and listening to what they have to say about


these plans through Lan­ cashire Local meetings.” • An emergency item on


the TIC proposal was added to the agenda when Ribble Valley Borough Council’s Community Committee met on Tues­ day evening. After hearing from Whalley’s Coun. Joyce Holgate, members agreed to send a letter to the leader of Lancashire County Council, Coun. Hazel Harding, deploring the way in which news of the pro­ posal came to light and the effect it has had on TIC staff. I t will also urge Coun.


Harding to launch her own investigation into how it happened and take steps to ensure such a s itua tion never arises again. Furthermore, the letter


will inform the county council that Ribble Valley Borough Council will strongly resist any scaling down of the current TIC provision in Clitherde. The TIC proposal will be


one of the items discussed at the next meeting of Lan­ cashire Local Ribble Valley - a committee set up to pro­ mote partnership working between the county and borough councils and devolve more decision mak­ ing to local level. The meeting is scheduled


to take place in Longridge a t 6 p.m. on Wednesday,. November 22nd, a t the Parish Room, St Wilfrid’s RC Church, Derby Road.
