money was left to each Mayor, as the college’s only specification was to choose someone who has made an outstanding con­ tribution to the local com­ munity. Coun. John Hill,


Mayor of Ribble Valley, chose to give half of his £1,000 allocation to Mel Diack MBE, towards playground equipment for


a local play area. The 'K-'iTSSEf* •


remaining £500 was split equally between Malcolm Blackburn, of the St James Primary School Eco Project, in Clitheroe, and Rupert Swarbrick, of the Longridge Partner­ ship.


Mr Blackburn, treasur­


er of St James’s primary school, said: “We’re using the money to help fund our Eco project. “There’s two acres of


industrial wasteland behind the school and we’re developing it into wetland. “We’ll be planting


■shrubs and preparing beds to grow crops. I t ’s something the whole com- munity is involved in; local residents, teachers, governors, parents and the children. “This money means we


can go ahead with the project and make some­ thing out of a piece of land that is becoming the heart-of the community,”


he added. Mr Ian Clin­ ton, Principal at Black­ burn College, said: “Being the largest and oldest col­ lege in the county, the awards ceremony was a perfect,opportunity to acknowledge the.college’s educational achieve­ ments. “Educating young peo­


ple is one of the most important investments we can make.” For information on
