IT was a glittering occasion for the Kibble Valley Mayor’s “At Home” when mayors, mayoress­ es and consorts, ^ wearing their magnificent regalia and chains of office, assembled a t The Grand. Clitheroe Town Mayor, may­


ors from Burnley, Rossendale, Blackburn and South Kibble were rubbing shoulders with those from Kendal, Wyre, Brin- scall and Preston a t the


sparkling occasion hosted by Kibble Valley Mayor Coun. Beverley Jones and her husband and consort, HowelJones. Many former mayors and


mayoresses of Clitheroe and the Kibble Valley were also present. Two guests who had travelled from Wales were Helen and Clyde Parker. Helen is Mr Jones’ daughter and she acted as his mayoress when he was mayor in 1990.


Following her welcome


speech, the Mayor, a keen sup­ porter of the young, introduced 11-year-old Thomas Wiggans, who sang two beautiful solos accompanied by Mr Frank Ash­ ton on piano. ■ - Later a piano recital was given


by Nick Howley, another talent­ ed young musician, and during the meal the John Wickham Trio played a selection of popu­ lar music.


A competition to guess the


combined weight of the Mayor and her consort was won by the Mayor of Wyre and raised £78 for the mayor’s charities, which are Friends of Clitheroe Hospi­ tal and Action for Children. A raffle was also held in aid of the


charities. pictured are Kibble Valley

'accessible, increaang recycling and providing more activities for young people me just some of the ways Lancashire County Council and Ribble Valley Council are working together to improve the area. These projects, and others, are being


provided through the Ribble Valley Locality Plan. It sets out how the two authorities will work together to improve the quality of life for people living and working in Ribble Valley. The plan was launched earlier in the


year, but the latest Lancashire Local Ribble Valley meeting saw an update of the plan, which revealed the author­ ities are making good progress on a number of projects. These include: • Successfully encouraging more


people to join Telecare. This is a round-the-clock support service allow­ ing people to live in their own home while being able to alert staff if they


jhaive a fall or other tsqje of emei^ency. • Improv­


ing Clitheroe Castle muse­ um. . Carry-


f in^out con- fsu i 't ’a t io n into family learning in s c h o o l s , which has revealed that f am i I i e s would like to learn more about sub­ jects such as healthy living through their child's school. • Carrying out a review of public


transport to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. • Investigating the possibility of


extending on-street recycling through­ out the area Developing walking routes for peo­


ple of all abilities and improving Lon- gridge Civic Centre are other projects the authorities will work on together during the next year. Coimty Councillor Chris Holtom


(pictured) is chairman of Ribble Val­ ley Lancashire Local and deputy- chairman of the county council. He said: “I t is great to see Lancashire County Council and Ribble Valley Borough Council working so closely together on these projects, which are crucial for the area. “Schemes such as encoura^g more


people to use Telecare are crucial to ensuring we protect ^vulnerable people across the area - while ensuring there are more on-street recycling facilities will help encourage everyone to do their bit to save the planet. _ “The plan was launched six months


ago and I'm pleased to see tha t good progress is being mada We'll continue to work together with Ribble Valley Borough' Council through the locality plan so we can do even more to improve local people's quality of life.”
