ASSISTANT Cub Scout leader Mrs Kate Bailey had to call upon family and friends of boys from Chipping to provide trans port to Clitheroe for the St George’s Day parade on Sunday as a consequence of damage inflicted to the troop’s mini-bus in the early hours of Saturday morning. A disillusioned Mrs Bailey
said: “It appears that the major ity of the damage was caused when a fire extinguisher from the
bus was used to smash its win dows following a failed attempt to steal the bus from Chipping Village Hall car park.” Seven broken windows meant
that the bus could not be used over the weekend and initial esti mates suggest th a t this and. other damage caused may be sufficient to cause the vehicle to be written off by the insurance company. The Scout group’s insurers'are being sympathetic and trying to
avoid taking th is course of action, and a local company has alreaiiy offered to help with repairs. Even with this assistance the
group will still be faced with some expense in making the required repairs, however, and are already being inconve nienced by the unavailability of the bus. Our picture showss the mini
bus with its windows broken by would-be thieves, (s)

Soup lunoh A iunch of soup and sweets will be served following the morn ing service at AVhal ley Methodist Church on Sunday.
GRAND plans to demolish a Rimington house and replace it with another have
been deferred. A planning application to knock down . , ,
Denisfield House, in Rimington Lane, and then replace it with a new building
which would incorporate the reconstruct ed fagade of Sandown Hall - a Liver pudlian building - was considered by councillors. A letter of objection from Rimington Parish Council, referred to in the report to
conimittee, said the building was “not appropriate” to the area’s character as “it involves the replacement of a traditional Lancashire-style long farmhouse with an alien Liverpudlian version of a Greek Revival style mansion”.
Although the application was recom
mended for approval, members of Ribble A^alley’s Planning and Development Com mittee agreed to defer their decision until they have further information about the stone samples.
