Volunteers’ warm welcome by Duncan Smith ■


WORK done.by Hyndbum and Kibble Valley Council for Volun­ ta ry Service (CVS) was high­ lighted a t a drop-in event for local councillors. ; The CVS office a t Swan Mews,


off Castle Street, Ciitheroe, has recently been refurbished and st^f there decided to celebrate by show­ ing local councillors - as key repre-. sentatives of the whole community - the wide range of work they do. CVS exists to support,the many


voluntary, community and fmth sec­ tor activities under way in the com­ munities of Ribble.Valley an4 Hyn- dburn. Over the past year it has helped local groups to secure almost £150,000 in outside funding for Rib­ ble Valley activities and initiatives. The CVS works closely with the


Lancashire Local Strategic Partner­ ship (LSP) - a single body that brings together at local level various public sector agencies with people fern the private,,business, commu­ nity and voluntary sectors, so that


different initiatives and services sup­ port each other and work together. ■ I t also provides a v ita l link between Ribble Valley Borough Council and the LSP, helping them both to connect and engage with the Lancashire VCFS Consortium - the; “voice” of the voluntary, communi­ ty and faith sector. The practical support and advice which the CVS gives to voluntary and community groups increases their sustainability and capacity to achieve their com­ munity goals. ■ During the visit, Ribble Valley


Mayor Coun. John Hill presented certificates to some of the local groups which received funding through the Ribble VaUey Children’s Trust (Acorn Fund). The Acorn Fund is managed by CVS on behalf of Ribble Valley Children's Trust, which works to benefit children aged five to 13. - Over the coming year the Trust is seeking to fund projects which will improve the health and wellbeing of children in this age group. Grants of £500 are now available, with the next deadline being June 19th.

New Zealander is the new mayor...


By Duncan Smith


A “K IW I” has become Ribble Valley’s new first citizen. Born and raised in New


Zealand, Beverley Jones arrived in the Ribble Valley in 1992 when she married Howel Jones. Now,


■ six years after being elected onto Ribble Valley Borough Council, she is its Mayor, with her husband ; - a former borough councillor and

mayor - as her consort. Coun. Jones took on the chain of office on Tuesday, succeeding Coun. John Hill. She represents Clitheroe’s St Mary’s Ward on the borough council and is a Liberal- Democrat, although, in her role as Mayor, she will adopt a position of political neutrality. Deputy Mayor for the coming


municipal year will be Langho ward councillor Lois Rimmer, with her husband Gordon as her


consort. Our picture shows the new Mayor Coun. Jones (front, left) and Deputy Mayor Coun. Rimmer (front, right) a t the cere­ mony. Also pictured (from the left) are the Mayor’s attendant Mr Ian Potter, Mayor’s consort Mr Howell Jones, Mrs Catherine Scott and her husband, borough council chief executive Marshal Scott, and Deputy Mayor’s con­ sort Mr Gordon Rimmer.

Rumours over store


SPECULATION is rife th a t well- established high street clothing chain M&Co is planning to take over Clitheroe’s former Woolworths store. The rumours are being fuelled by a


■ notice, which has appeared in the for­ mer Woolworths front mndow, adver­ tising-M&Co’s children’s clothing


. range. Woolworths closed in December


last year after th e firm went into


administration. M&Co, which already has a store in Castle Street, is planning to take over around 20 Woolworths stores throughout the


country. A spokeswoman for M&Co


explained that the firm was paying to use the vacant shop ivindow as adver­


tising space. She said: “Nothing has been confirmed regarding if there are any plans to take on the store.”

care nurse a t Burnley General Hospital, and ■ Martin (53), who is a local GP, will set off on Mon­ day and are hoping to cbmplete'the gruelling ; challenge in three days. Eileen said: “The ride is


a well-known route but for two amateurs like us, it should be a challenge! “We are hoping to raise


£1,000 each for two chari­ ties. The Unicef Cold Chain P ro je c t aims to build cold storage facilities in remote p a r ts of Ethiopia to allow the dis­ tribution of -vaccines. This will help protect children against diseases. - “The other charity is Operation Hand in Hand, which is based in Nkoran- za, Ghana, and aims to
