CHATBURN Parish Council committee members celebrating the new-look village hall (D15020G/la) years. The tables have been refurbished and the under-
by Vivien Meath THE village hall at Chatburn is the latest in the
Kibble Valley to enjoy a total makeover. New life has been pumped back into the Grade II listed stone structure helped by a cash injection of
£150,000. Parish council chairman Ted Boden performed the
opening ceremony in front of villagers, invited guests and representatives of funding agencies. Expressing thanks to every person involved on the
committee, he told his audience that the building had been gifted to the village in the early 1900s from the Horrocksford Lime Company. “In 1957, when I came to Chatbum, they called it the ‘reading room’ or ‘the bank’.”
. .Sadly, by the mid-1990s, it had become dilapidated.
At that time there was a move to have a new village hall! A committee was set up under the chairmanship of John Ridgway, looking at building the hall on the playing field. “Unfortunately, in 2003 the lottery organisation withdrew their money. That put John and his committee in a terrible position. I t is great credit to them that they decided to do something with the old village hall and started again.” Mr Boden said the parish council was delighted that
in the 21st Century, all the public buildings were being refurbished and upgraded, naming the Methodist Church, primary school and Christ Church. . Mr Ridgway expre^ed his thanks to all concerned,
particularly Community Futures and Andrew Suter, as well as Andrew Marshall for his help with the busi ness plan. “Two years ago, I had just retired. I have since sent
or received 700-plus e-mails regarding the village hall and used 2,500 sheets of A4 paper,” he added. . The •village snooker dub currently has two teams in the local league and has been using the premises for 50
drawn ceiling, a then necessary move to retain heat and which was grant aided thante to money acquired via the local authority and Chatburn’s then borough coun cillor Mr Boden, ripped out. The exposed beams have been painstakingly restored by John Schofield and the roof is now one of the key features of the Downham Road building. Villagers have been in'vited to visit the building dur
ing three open days this week. 'Work has already started on Slaidburn’s new village
hall- the former chapel, Gisbum’s Festival Hall is also in-line with the new village car park well advanced, Tosside Village Hall is now a -vibrant centre booked up for weeks in advance and Chipping’s facility has received praise galore. Refreshments were provided by committee members
and helpers utilising the new kitchen, and ivith plans to run the village website from the ground floor “Her itage Room,” all involved are determined to ensure that, some 100 years on, the hall again becomes the centre of Chathurn’s community.
Meanwhile siting of panopticon generates
heated discussion
THE proposed siting of a panopticon has generated heated discussion in the village of Chathurn. The February meeting of the parish council was. dominated by the issue.
' Coun. Graham Sowter attended the meeting togeth

than a hundred VIP guests and friends of Brookside Primary School gathered for the official opening of its new and refurbished
facilities. As reported in last week’s Ciitheroe
Advertiser and Times, the project started out as a relatively low-key scheme for an extension to house two new classrooms and upgraded toilet facilities. But through care ful planning and a tight grip on finances, the scheme evolved into virtually a full school refurbishment, completely trans forming the interior layout. The end result includes a new library
with central resource area, a computer suite equipped for an entire class, a new kitchen area where pupils can learn food technolo gy skills, a cornfortable reception area, plus re-sited offices and a new staff room. Improvements outside have included a new soft-surface play area, and this is all in addi tion to the new extension. The scheme took almost a year to complete and cost around
£450,000. Two pupils from the school, Scott Wallis
(10) and Chloe Hartshorn (11) were given the honour of cutting the ribbon to the new extension. They were chosen because of their consistently good attitude and high
levels of effort in everything they do. Once inside, Ribble Valley Mayor Coun.
Mary Robinson unveiled a plaque com memorating the opening of the extension. She joked: “I had two ambitions as Mayor - to feature in Lancashire Life and get my name on a plaque, and now I’ve done both!” She added that it was a duty she was
delighted to perform on behalf of Ribble Valley Borough Council, which, coinciden tally, was formed in 1974, the same year that the first pupils arrived at Brookside. Also among the guests was Mr Howel Jones, the school’s first headmaster. • - The guests were then split into groups of
around 10 to be given tours of the school and its new facilities, including the high-' tech interactive whiteboards in each class room. Leading the tour groups were smart, confident and informative pupils, who proved a real credit to themselves and their
school. With the guests gathered again in the
main hall, headteacher Graham Claydon thanked them for coming. “Today is a celebration of what has been achieved at Brookside over the past year,” he said. “We are very proud of our new building and I want to say a public ‘thank you’ to Lancashire County Council as an authority. We are very lucky to work for an authority that invests in education, and not just in monetary terms.” Mr Claydon said it was impossible to list
each individual who had contributed to the work, so instead he said a blanket “thank you” to everyone involved. “I t has been a great team effort tha.t has
resulted in a great end product,” he said. However, he did make special mention of
school adviser Nick Brown, main contrac tor Monks of Longridge, the school gover nors for their work as “unpaid slaves”, his “fantastic staff” for all their efforts, and his wife, Olwyn, for her unstinting 24 hour-a-
day support. Long-serving governor Sue Holden gave
■ a potted history of the school, from 1970s open plan to the much improved school of today. She also thanked Mr Claydon for his skilful management of the school budget, which had made the scheme possible. Chairman of governors Mr Pat O’Neill
echoed that sentiment, saying: “It is all one big team here, but without a decent cap tain, none of this would have been
achieved.’’ The final word went to County Council
lor Alan Whittaker, cabinet member for schools, who said the council was delighted at what had been achieved at Brookside. “The main thing is that the ‘customers’: are absolutely thrilled,” he said.
