VILLAGERS in Grindle- ton arc very excited about the Grindleton Recrea­ tion Ground Committee’s p^lans for a new pavilion on the playing fields, op­ posite the primary school on Sawley Road. The aim. is to raise


£300,000 to create new changing rooms for the football team and a com­ munity room for all kinds of use by 2012, Diartiond Jubilee Year. , The new building will provide improved facili­


ties for footballers, tennis players, and the multi-use games area, plus a com­ munity room as a venue to provide an additional resource for both the vil­ lage and the wider Ribble Valley. The project is a joint


venture between the Rec­ reation Ground Charity


agreed to match contribu­ tions raised by villagers, either through donations or fund-raising events on a two-to-one basis. The total now raised is in ex­ cess of £50,000.


' The community room


will offer villagers, and those from all over the Ribblc Valley, a space for many kinds of activities. The hope is that it will be used for a range of physi­ cal, social and educational events. A fund-raising drive


is in full swing. Already there have been several

that one of the inspec­ tors from Ribble Valley Borough Council said


the pub kitchen was one of the worst she had seen in a 30-year career. As soon as she en­

He said the pub should not have been serving food, but it was being done without Cornwell’s knowledge. Although the kitchen


was riot in use on the day of the inspection, Febru- aiy 17th, an investigation showed that food had been served on the 14th and 15th and was due to be served at a function booked for the following day.

In memory of Brian...


,TWO causes close to the heart of the late Brian Crabtree, of Clitheroe, will benefit from substan­ tial donations made at his funeral. The local community


was left in shock after the sudden death of mo­ torbike enthusiast Brian, aged 55, in July. Hundreds attended his


funeral, with mourners donating £926.25 to the Ribble Valley Heart Fund and £876.25 to the East Lancashire Hospice. ■ Brian’s daughter, Caro­


line Robbins, said: “It’s nice to know that people thought so highly of my dad to give so much in do­ nations, which will hope­ fully make a difference to the quality of other peo­ ple’s lives.”


Two flown


to hospital A 49-YEAR-OLD wom­ an was flown to the Royal Preston Hospital by the North West Air Ambu­ lance after being knocked off her bike in Clitheroe by a deer. The victim’s, leg was

THE grounds of historic Whalley Abbey will be lit up by lanterns in all shapes and


sizes this weekend. More than fifty lanterns were


made at a highly successful workshop at Whalley Village Hall. Around 25 families turned up to make beautiful paper and willow lanterns, with profes­ sional artists Rosie Fenwick and Kerris Casey-St.Pierre. The workshop was run by the


Acorn Steiner Initiative as part of its yearly lantern festival cel­ ebrations. Janet Livesey, whose daughter


attends the Acorn Steiner Par­ ent and Child group, said: “This was a wonderful experience for the children. “They had a real chance to get


stuck into making their own lan­ terns with lots of fun and mess. “They will be so pleased next


week when they can light their lantern and carry it on the lan­ tern walk at Whalley Abbey. They are really excited about it.” • . -


• The lantern festival is a year­


ly event, set in the grounds of Whalley Abbey and is a magical way for children to experience the celebration of light at this dark time of year. The festival will be held on Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. and


Lantern event will be magic!

‘We’ll keep footpaths safe too!’


AFTER reassurances that roads will be kept safe this winter, Lancashire County Council is now seeking to assure Ribble Valley residents that the same goes for footpaths. Last winter saw the most se­


vere weather conditions, for both drivers and pedestrians, for more than 30 years and, say the


council, lessons were learned to avoid a repeat situation in 2010. “Our overall salt stocks are


- up 35% on last year and we have 1,800 grit bins situated around Lancashire. The county also owns 50 hand gritting machines for specific use on footways,” explained Brian Eagle, Public Realm Manager at LCC.

“The grit bins will be filled


prior to the start of the winter season and we will aim to refill them throughout as regularly as possible. The salt is there to make the roads and pavements safer for everyone, so if you see it being taken away or used in­ appropriately, please contact the police.”
