Work starts on town’s new latest eating place


by Julie Magee


WORK has started on convert­ ing a property in Lowergate in Clitheroe into a new brasserie. Planning chiefs approved an


application submitted by the man­ aging director of Liberty Property Group Ltd, Mark Greenwood, of Sawley, to change the use of 10 Lowergate from res idential to brasserie/restaurant. ■ Currently a detached four-bed- room house, it will be completely ■renovated to provide a bar and


. dining area on the ground floor with sitting area and dining room


on the first floor. The project also includes build­


ing a two-storey extension a t the


rear of the property, which will be attached to Wellgate Garage. Four new windows will be insert­


ed in the gable end between 10 and 12 Lowergate, while three more in the gable end facing the car park on the corner of Lowergate and Wellgate. A kitchen extraction system will


run through the existing chimney stack.


I t is anticipated that a total of


13 members of sta ff will be employed a t th e premises and there will be approximately three deliveries a week.


Patrons of the new establish­


ment will have to use on-street parking and town centre car parks. Kibble Valley Borough Council


planners approved the application agreeing it would have no signifi­ cant detrimental impact on near­ by residential amenity, nor adverse visual impact nor be to the detri­ ment of highway safety.

world in fiction STORIES from around the world and different cultures was the theme of a Kibble Valley village school’s book week. This week pupils a t St Mary’s RC


Primary School in Langho have enjoyed a variety of activities to cel­ ebrate the topic. On Monday th e week was


launched when thespians from the Harl-E-Quin Children’s Theatre Company put on their play “An Ara­ bian Night” which featured colour­ ful characters and puppets. The per­ formance was thoroughly enjoyed by the young audience. Other activities included a chance


to watch th e N a rn ia epics and browsing the book fair. Pupils also spent time with their


reading partners. This is a scheme which sees older pupils matched with younger children to read together. The children read take turns reading and listening to each other. And a bookmark competition


organised by the Friends of St Mary’s group saw the infant children colouring in one decorated with pic­ tures from round the world, while those in the junior classes were asked to design their own. Our ph o to g rap h shows Cassie


Donato and Robert Morton with pupils. (A130206/6)


Thieves target


Read homes BURGLARS stole £1,400 worth of goods from two houses in Read on Monday. Jewellery, an Apple


iPod and cash with a • total value of £650 was stolen from the first ' ■ property between 8 a.m. and 4-30 p.m. I t is believed the


thieves climbed on to a conservatory roof before gaining entry through an insecure window. Later that day,-


between noon and 7-30 p.m., burglarsstole a Sony laptop, a Bosch cordless drill and.other items worth £750 by forcing their way into a second property in Read. Anyone with informa­


tion about the burglaries should contact Clitheroe Police on 01200 443344.


Remote Bowland valley proves a


splendid destination for walkers ROEBURNDALE, a remote valley at the northern end of the Bowland fells, was the. destination for a party of 13 Clitheroe Ramblers, led by Ben Brown. They set out from High Salter in a stiff


breeze and, when sn'ow began to fall, the conditions did not look promising for the planned high-level nine-mile walk, the second in a series of walks on Rowland’s new access land. ■ Thankfully, the snow flurry proved


shortlived and the party was soon enjoy­ ing a brisk walk along the Hornby Road track.


After passing Alderstone Bank, there


was a loss in height of about 300 feet as the shooting track was taken down to the footbridge over the Roebum, one of Bow- land’s most delightful rivers. A long line

of icicles hanging from the bank made an impressive sight. Lunch was taken at the shooting cabin on Mallowdale Fell, a rare sheltered spot. The party then continued up to the


top of the track a t Brown Syke. From here it was hard going along the frozen, uneven peat as the wall was followed to the highest point of the walk at Grey Crag (1,740ft). not far from Ward Stone. The going was easier across the grassland to High Stephen’s Head, a prominent point. Then across the moor to Markin Fold Hill and Mallowdale Pike, all areas only recently opened up for walkers. From here a descent was made to Mal­ lowdale Farm and Mallowdale Bridge.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, February 16th, 2006 -15 .■ Tsunami link to help children by Fiona Finch


RESIDENTS in Ribchester are hop­ ing to create a unique link with families whose lives were devastated by the tsunami disaster in Thailand. The move is in response to a direct appeal


by former Ribchester resident Allyson Parker who now lives in Phuket. • A special fund - The Koa Lak Education


Fund (KLEF) - has been set up and vil­ lagers are now being contacted -(vith infor­ mation about proposals to sponsor at least two children through school for five years. Since the disaster, former teacher Allyson


has been working to help families in need. The emphasis has been on providing practi­ cal help to ensure breadwinners can make an income. But just before Christmas, she alerted her


family - Maureen and John Crowther, of Water Street, Ribchester, and sister Jill Smith, who lives at Dutton - of the -very real need to provide longer term help. This she said can be done by providing


educational opportunities for children who have lost family members or whose parents have lost their income. Allyson explained that although educa­


tion is free, around £15 a month is needed to pay for transport, books, uniform, laundry, books, pens, paper and lunches to keep a child in school. For many families sending one child to


school is all they can afford. Allyson’s moth­ er, Maureen, a veteran fund-raiser for recent repair work a t St Wilfrid’s Church, Ribch­ ester, mulled over the problem and decided that the best way forward was to ask for pledges of a modest sum - say £1 a month from local families to provide longer term sponsorship of, say, two children. Allyson, a former pupil of Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School, has pledged to provide the committee with information about the children’s progress and ensure th a t the

money is well spent. She and a neighbour have been working with the Duang Prateep Foundation, which oversees two camps of displaced families at Koa Lak. She said: “The foundation staff check out


the families and assess the need. “They then monitor the child’s progress,


making sure that the children do attend school and checking educational progress. A sum of £180 per year per child now has to be raised for Koa Lak. “The people I am talking about are vil­


lagers and as you know villagers do their best to take care of their own, but when homes and possessions are lost it is difficult.” After an initial meeting at the White Bull, Ribchester, a committee has been set up and


“The Koa Lak Education Fund” estab­ lished with Maureen as chairman, Rob and Melissa Gray as treasurers and Mick Flynn as secretary. Maureen is hoping for a generous response


before the start of the new Thai school year in April. She said: “Every penny counts. We would


welcome any donation of whatever size. If people can pledge a small amount regularly that will help give these children a better future.” The Duang Prateep Foundation only


work with families who are trying to help themselves. For further information or to pledge sponsorship contact Mrs Maureen Crowther on 01254 878373.
