New toilets vandalised after just three days!
by Julie Magee
A NEW environmentally-friendly toi let block that opened just over a week ago has been the subject of a “wanton act of vandalism”. The £34,000 block, which was built by
Ribble Valley Borough Council on the car park in Church Street, Ribchester, was tar geted by vandals over the weekend. A baby changing unit was damaged, as
were numerous vanity unit panels situated under the hand basins. To fix the changing unit alone it will cost the council £1,000. Disgusted by the vandalism, council chiefs are now offering a reward for infor
mation leading to the capture of the cul prits. Mr David Morris, chief executive of
Ribble Valley Borough Council, said: “This was a wanton act of vandalism and we will do all we can to catch the culprits. “Anyone who knows anything is asked
to contact the council in the strictest con fidence and a small reward will be given for information leading to those responsi ble.” Mr Alan Ormand, secretary of Ribch
ester Parish Council said: “The parish council is dismayed at this news. Having canvassed so long for the toilet block to be brought up-to-date, it is most dishearten ing for it to be vandalised within three
days of being opened. It is sad that a few mindless indmduals cause such problems for the majority.” Energy and water-efficient, with anti
vandal sensory taps and flushes plus ener gy-saving light bulbs, the toilets have been applauded by local en'vironmentalists. However, since the vandalism, further
environmentally-friendly plans, such as the installation of a wind turbine to power the toilets, have now been put on hold. Anyone \vith information about the van
dalism is asked to phone Ribble Valley Borough Council on 01200 425111 or Crimestoppers on 0845 555111. Callers will not have to give their name, unless they want to claim the reward.
Ban for driver (75) over drink limit
A 75-YEAR-OLD motorist from Clitheroe has been banned from the road for a year after admitting drink-driving. John William Noonan, of Chatburn Old
Road, was fined £200 with £60 costs and banned from driving for 12 months by Blackburn magistrates after pleading guilty to driving with excess alcohol.
Stole £3,500 trailer
MORECAMBE man Lee Anthony Ren- dell (26), of Palace Court, was ordered to do 200 hours community service, fined £100 and banned from driving for two years by Blackburn magistrates after pleading guilty to theft of a trailer, driving without insur ance and driving other than in accordance with a licence. The court heard Rendell and two other men had driven to the Slaidburn area where they stole the £3,500 trailer from a farm yard.
Sale of champion i J
A THIRD annual show and sale of in-lamb Texel sheep at Gisburn Auction Marts saw the champion shearling ewe, from Alex Brown, of Midlothian, Edinburgh, sell for £555 to Texel breeder Keith Stones, of Mar- rick, near Richmond. The shearling ewe was served by Clola Marksman and scanned for twins.
Lion’s dance raised £1,200
A CHARITY dance held by Clitheroe Lions helped raise funds for good causes. Lions and guests enjoyed an
evening out a t Bashall Hall. With music provided by the Swing Commanders, the event raised approximately £1,200 and
was enjoyed by more than 100 people. Our photograph shows some of the revellers. (T220107-2)
Talk to Lady Farmers was a ‘royal event’
A FORMER High Sheriff of Lancashire, Mr Keith Gledhill, entertained Clitheroe Lady Farmers’ social section with an entertaining talk. He told the lady farmers that the High
Sherrif was first appointed in the year 992 to be in control of law and order. In those days the Sheriff was a very powerful man. The present-day High Sheriff looks after.
among other things. Her Majesty’s judges During his year of office he had to have
a coat of arms designed, which incorpo rated different aspects of his life. He was lucky enough to meet the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family. Mr Gledhill was thanked for his talk, at
the Calf’s Head,Worston, by Elizabeth Thomber and then supper was served.
Love was in the air at meeting of Probus
LOVE was in the air when members of Clitheroe and Dis trict Probus Club welcomed a familiar face from the Darwen club. Mr Frank Gibson spoke on
the intriguing title “Aspects of Love”. I t transpired that he was not presenting a musical, rather dealing with prose and poetry which he personally loved and which may or may not deal with love of trees, nature, mountains and so on, as well as the conventional romantic love. With some beautiful verbal
illustrations, both familiar and unfamiliar, he delivered a truly poignant talk which members found struck various chords in their experiences of life.
Poets quoted ranged from
the familiar - Betjeman, Pam Ayres, as well as the classics - to well-known names who were not appreciated as poets, Catherine Cookson for exam ple.
Member Tom Duff gave the
vote of thanks, remarking how the speaker had appealed to so many different emotions in the audience, truly a demonstra tion of the power of poetry. The next 'meeting of
Clitheroe and District Probus Club is at the normal venue, the Pendle Club, Lowergate, Clitheroe, tomorrow when Mr Brian White mil deliver a talk entitled “The Ultra Secret”. Inquiries should be made to 01200 429207.
The group is holding a quiz for its cho
sen charities on Friday, February 23rd, at St Michael’s and St John’s Catholic Club, Lowergate, Clitheroe, staring at 7-45 p.m. Admission is £4 and would-be contest
ants are asked to ring 01254 823838 to book a team of four. The next meeting is at the Calf’s Head on Monday, February 19th.
