hand made goods to help contribute to the local economy. The group will also donate £20 each


to a community project and plant a tree for every traveller to help combat global warming. Because training is an essential part


of the trip Brian has done several treks over Pendle Hill and the surrounding areas - but he knows that nothing will fully prepare him for the long, hard trek uphill on the heavenly stairway where hundreds of rocky and crumbling steps lead up the mountainside to a high ■viewing point. Brian is raising the money for Man­


chester Children’s Hospital. He has already collected more than £2,000 and hopes to raise much more. He chose it


because it is the Ribble Valley’s nearest specialist hospital for children and close to many people’s hearts. “If any child needs treatment, then


this is the hospital they would be referred to and I feel it is important to support local charities, especially the


. children’s hospital which has helped so many families,” he said. If anybody wishes to make a donation


or requires further information, they may do so by calling into Clitheroe Dec­ orating Centre at 2 Mearley Street or telephoning 01200 426342. Any cheques should be made payable to Manchester. Children’s Hospital. Pictured in training, Brian scales Pen­


dle Hill as he prepares for his walk on the Great wall of China.(s)

One week to put views on public service for the next six years


RESIDENTS in Ribble Valley are being given their say on the dehvery of public services in the borough for the next six years. They are being asked for their -views on


the Ribble Valley Sustainable Communi­ ty Strategy 2007-2013. Local authorities are required by law to


produce a Sustainable Community Strat­ egy spelling out their community’s aspi­ rations, needs and priorities. The strate­ gy co-ordinates the actions of the public, private, voluntary and community sec­ tors in meeting those needs. The first draft of the Ribble Valley


Sustainable Community Strategy has been compiled following feedback from community groups and organisations, and now Ribble Valley residents are being invited to have their say. The strategy outlines a series of priori­


ties and objectives, including tackling rural isolation, affordable housing, tourism, the environment and public transport. Ribble Valley Borough Council Leader


Coun. Michael Ranson said: “The new Sustainable Community Strategy will pro-vide a vision for the borough, as well as key objectives and action plans across a range of topic areas. “The strategy outlines a shared com­


mitment from Ribble Valley Borough Council and its partners to address issues of concern to the community, but most importantly we want to incorporate the views of residents. “We urge as many people as possible to


make their -views known, as this is their chance to help shape the delivery of pub­ lic services in Ribble Valley for the next six years.” The consultation ends on Friday, Sep­


tember 21st and further information and a feedback form is available from Ribble Valley’s Borough Council’s partnership officer, Mr David Ingham, on 01200 414549 or www.ribblevalley.gov.uk Residents can also give their feedback
