A MOVE to provide cy clists in-Clitheroe with more bike stands is being pushed by local environ mentalists. Transition Town Clithe
roe (TTC) want to make the town more “qfcle and pedestrian friendly” with more places for cyclists to park their bikes. L an c a sh ire County
Council has already, of fered the action group up to 15 bike stands and suit able areas around the town centre to site these are cur rently being investigated. Chris Gathercole, a TTC core member, explained:
“We’re keen to encourage people to ride their bikes and having places to lock their bikes on cycle stands will give cyclists a bit more piece of mind that their bikes are okay in the town. There are currently very few bike stands around Clitheroe and we’re trying to make the town more cy cle and pedestrian friend ly.”
One possible site that
has already been mooted is in Clitheroe’s Market place outside The White Lion pub. However, members of
Clitheroe Town Council, at their meeting on Mon day, decided they would be keen to investigate other possible sites. A spokesman for the
town council explained; “The town councillors said it is not a problem in prin ciple putting bike stands in the town centre, but that they are not happy with that location as they didn’t think it was going to be suitable.” The town council now
plans to liaise with Chris and to invite relevant offic ers from the county coun cil to give a talk on the subject. C h r is added: “The
s treets and pavements around Clitheroe were not designed to make space for bike stands so we need
• to find any corner that we can.” Transition Town Clit

YOUNG COOK: Olivia Critchley who came second Young Chef competition, (s)
in a game goes on By Faiza Af2aal
DISAPPOINTMENT has been expressed after a deci sion about the future of Clit heroe’s new multi-million pound hospital was delayed yet again. Plans for a £15.5m. commu
nity hospital were mooted in May last year, but they were scrapped in November due to a lack of funds. Earlier this year, Mr Steve
Spoerry, chief executive of East Lancashire PCT, attended a council meeting where a packed public gallery demanded an swers. At the time Mr Spoerry explained how a complete re view of NHS East Lancashire’s finances had resulted in a deci-' sion being made to put the new hospital project “on hold”. He reassured the residents
that a decision should be made at the end of March 2010. How ever, it has now been revealed that a decision will not be made until September. The lack of progress has an
gered Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans, who has been fighting hard for the development of the new community hospital. He described the delay as incredibly disappointing”. He
added: “I just don’t understand. The PCT had the money last year and these delays make no sense whatsoever. “I’m convinced that the deci
sion has been stalled due to the General Election. The people of the Ribble Valley deserve a new hospital and health bosses should just get on with building it.”
Similar concerns were ex
pressed by county councillor for Clitheroe, Allan Knox, who said: “It’s an absolute'disgrace and a dreadful state of affairs. The people of the Ribble Val ley feel badly let down by the East Lancs PCT.
Promised “I honestly don’t know if the
people of Clitheroe are ever going to get the new hospital that they were promised. With various other health services in East Lancashire being central ised, I worry that the obvious consequences may result in , services being cut at the existing Clitheroe hospital.” A spokesman for the PCT.
said: “Last Thursday the NHS East Lancashire Board consid ered its ‘Community Develop- ■ ment Strategy’. This referred to Clitheroe Community Hospi- : tal, as well as other community
health facilities in East Lan cashire. The paper describes how we are developing plans to ensure that our buildings are appropriate to the long-term health needs of patients and the wider community, as well as be ing affordable, sustainable and cost effective. “The plans will be developed .
to include proposals for Clit heroe Community Hospital. NHS East
Lanca.shire will en gage and work with local health professionals and the public to develop recommendations, which will then be presented to the Board. We appreciate the commitment many local people have already shown in the de velopment of services in Clithe roe and the Ribblc Valley and we will continue to work with local people to develop the best options for people locally. “The- Board of NHS East'
Lancashire will receive a fur ther report in September, by which time we expect greater clarity in respect of our finan- : cial forecasts for future years. ■ “In the meantime, health services will continue to be delivered as normal from the, existing Clitheroe Community Hospital.” , . • People speak o u t—; sec Letters: Page 16.
