Rural arts boosted by grant


by Duncan Smith


OPEN access arts activi­ ties in the Forest of Bow- land Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty will ben­ efit from a £2,496 grant from Lancashire County Council. The grant will help to


engage artists to work with the nual communi­ ties of Bowland on a number of arts-based projects. I t is one of eight


grants, totalling nearly £24,000, which are being made to arts organisa­ tions across the coimty to help them develop a wide range of projects. The proviso is that the


projects must either pro­ mote or improve the eco­ nomic, social or environ­ mental wellbeing of their area. County Coun. Mike


Calvert, cabinet member for Adult and Communi­ ty Services, said: “I recognise the vital contri­ bution that the arts make to cultural life here in


‘Blackout’motorist banned from driving


A 57-YEAR-OLD motorist called police when he got lost in Clitheroe after suffering a mental blackout. Blackburn magistrates heard police


officers were already looking for Robert Neely after a member of the public saw his car collide with a grit bin.


■When they found his car in Meadow


Way he had crashed into a fence and there was evidence of a collision with a tree.


And although it was three hours


after the first collision, Neely was still found to be over the drink-drive limit. Neely, of Elwyn Drive, Liverpool,


pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol.


He was fined £180 with £100 costs


and also disqualified from driving for 12 months.


Mr Stephen Barker (defending) said


Neely had been working in Great Har­ wood for over 10 years and lived in a flat in Read during the week. On the day of the incident he drove


to Clitheroe in order to do some shop­ ping.


“He has pieced things-together


because at some stage everything is a blank,” said Mr Barker.


“When he called the police he said he


was lost and told them he was con­ fused. He can’t really explain why he came to be where he was.”


- Mr Barker said Neely had been


signed off from work since the incident on December 20th and had taken the decision to retire. His driving licence has also been


revoked.

directly involved in these excellent projects will benefit enormously, as

Fond farewell to a popular pastor by Julie Magee


AFTER more than a quarter of a centu­ ry, Rev. 'Brian Clark, the pastor at Clitheroe Community Church, has retired. And to mark his 26 years leading the


fellowship, special farewell parties were held at the church on Saturday and Sun­ day. Rev. Clark, along with his wife. Myrtle,


started the church, which meets at The King’s. Centre on Millthorne Avenue, in 1984 and the work continues to go from strength to strength. Following his retirement, the Rev.


Clark will be succeeded as pastor by Rev. Mark Woodward from Derby. Civic dignitaries including the Ribble


Valley and Clitheroe Mayors were invit­ ed to an event on Saturday, at which trib­ utes were paid to Rev. Clark and his wife. The evening was also attended by local


church leaders, as well as friends and fam­ ily from all over the country and ended with a buffet supper. •Sunday morning also saw around 130


people attend The King’s Centre to see Rev. Woodward welcomed officially as the


pastor... “I t ’s been a fantastic weekend,” he


commented, “great to see so many people. “I am very excited about my new.role.


I t’s a great church and I’m really enjoy­ ing getting to know the people of Clitheroe.” - Our picture shows Rev. Woodward and


his wife Claire, Rev. Clark and his wife Myrtle, and few of the members and guests who attended the weekend celebra­ tions, (s)

Clitheroe A d ve r t ise r & T ime s, Th u rsd a y , March 4th, 2010 9 Major county shake-up


PLANS ' have been announced to revolutionise the way Lancashire Coimty Council tailors its services to reflect local priorities.


• ■ Leaders of the Conserva- ,tive-run authority say the


, new proposals will save money and could see more powers handed to district ■ councils and individual


. county counciUors. , . The council's Cabinet has approved a shake-up of the way . services are “localised”, which will see the current “Lancashire Local” committees replaced with more cost-effective and efficient ways of har­ nessing the neighbourhood- level knowledge of council­ lors and residents to make decisions. Currently there is a Lan­


cashire Local committee for each of the 12 districts across the county - includ­ ing Ribble Valley - meeting


in public every six to eight weeks to deal with a -variety of issues local to that dis­ trict.


of all the county councillors who represent that district,


These committees consist


together with local borough councillors, all of whom have voting rights. New alternatives to the


' devolving powers and budg­ ets directly to district coun­ cils and giving councillors


Lancashire Locals will explore options such as


; more control over how money is spent in their local areas - a move designed to


' free up more than £100,000 currently spent on adminis­ tering Lancashire Local committees. That saving will con­


tribute to next year's budg­ et which will see the author­ i ty spend around £24m. less without affecting essential services.


County Coun. Geoff Dri­


ver, leader of Lancashire County Council, said: “It’s essential that our services are flexible and respect the fact tha t people in each area of the county have dif­ ferent priorities and needs. “In my -view, Lancashire


Locals cost too much to run. We need a more effec­ tive and meaningful way of working with district and parish councils and local communities in order to make decisions more quick­ ly and efficiently, th a t reduces the amount of time spent in meetings and is cheaper to run. “Our focus will be to


work more closely with dis­ trict and parish councils and local communities but with a greater focus on defining what the real pri­ orities are in each area.” New proposals to be worked up and presented to


the Full Council in May will aim to give local people a bigger role in shaping services and using existing mechanisms such as the area forums used by some district councils to consult residents. However, the county


council's Labour Group has expressed concerns over the plan to abolish the Lan­ cashire Locals, which Labour set up before losing control of the council. Labour leader Jennifer


Mein said she believed the move was a threat to local democracy. “The new Conservative


administration wants to take power away from local representatives and local people. This decision sim­

ply centralises power to County Hall and bypasses the districts,” she said. The Conservative budget


proposals also include a reduction in the number of Cabinet Question Times throughout the county and ceasing the use of a mobile unit which tours the county giving advice and guidance to residents. The Labour Group believes that these Tory policy initiatives will seriously impact on the public's ability to engage with decision makers. Labour Group chairman.


County Coun. Grahami Jones, said that abolishing the committee was part of a wave of measures th a t weakens the council’s rela­ tionship with local people.
