Hundreds of scooter enthusi asts traveiledintoClitheroeat the weekendforthe Ribble Val- ley Mod and Soul Weekender.
More than 500 scooters rode into Clitheroe town centre, which was lined with fans and enthusiasts, bringing the town to a standstill. Hotels and campsites were
full to capacity for the week ender - the main event of which was Secret Affair head lining at Clitheroe’s The Grand on Saturday night.
Secret Affair, who rode the
■ new wave of the Mod revival in 1979. enjoyed chart hits Let Your Heart Dance, My World, Sound of Confusion and Time For Ac tion, their debut single and biggest chart success. There was plenty of oth
er events to keep the crowds entertained elsewhere in the town with venues across Clit heroe getting involved. Bands and DJs played at
the Rose and Crown, The Buck Inn, Key Street, and Clitheroe Social Club. The event .was fully sup

Steven Johnson, from Whal-
ley.is runningfivemilesevery single day foran entireyearto raise money for the Cystic Fi brosis Trust. With his whippet Betty alongside him, Steven (40) is
runningfor4ominutes-a-day, fitting the challenge around his daily routine. He began the challenge on
September 1st and plans to continue for a full year. His motivation comes from know ing the struggles his friend’s daughter, Amelia (i3)and her family are faced with each day due to her living with cystic fibrosis. Steven, who works as asus-
tainability consultant, vows he has the determination to run every single day. “Through rain and shine,
hangovers and sickness, work, holidays, hell and high water, I’ll be donning the trainers and pounding the streets. That’s every day, come what may. I’ll be clocking up 1,865 miles by the end the year,” he says. Working from home ena
bles Steven to be flexible, but when he travels abroad for work it will add an extra logis tical pressure. “Although a keen runner,
the real task is the demand o f running day after day, as well as dealing with a previ ous injury sustained when he trained for a marathon. Gemma Walder, the Cyst
ic Fibrosis Trust’s regional fundraising manager, said:
' “The challenge that Steven has set himself is one which demonstrates great tenac ity and we are grateful for his efforts. Steven’s fundrais ing comes at a time when the Trustismarkingits 50th year, but we’re not celebrating and instead redoubling our ef forts. The average life expect ancy for someone with cystic fibrosis is 40. “We are hoping that with
fundraising challenges like this, we can fund research into better treatment for those with the condition. We are committed to im proving the lives of those with cystic fibrosis so that
they can see their 50th birthday and beyond.” Cystic fibrosis
is a life-shortening genetic condition which causes the in ternal organs, espe cially the lungs and digestive system, to become clogged with thick sticky mucus, resulting in chronic infections and inflam mation of the lungs. , Anyone w an t
ing to help Steven achieve his target of raising £1,000 can do so by visiting www.justgiving. ,com/i865miles/ S te v e n and
Betty’s progress can be followed through Facebook by searching for “Running4CF”.

Valley village is to get superfast broadband

A Ribble Valley village which campaigned forfibre broad band istogetthe high-speed technology thanks to Super fast Lancashire funding.
The rural outpost of Gisburn was initially not included in the fibre broadband pro gramme because of the cost of reachingthe community, but now savings made in the roll out in the rest of the county have made the link-up
■ possible. Around 250 homes and
businesses in the centre of Gisburn will have access to the high-speed network from next year. BT’s local network busi
ness, Openreach, which will build the new branch of the Lancashire network, will start work on the 15-kil ometre cable “spine” in January.
hoped, fibre broadband is ex pected to “go live” in the vil lage early next summer. County Coun . Sean
Serridge, Lancashire County Council’s champion for dig ital inclusion, said: “We are committed to ensuring that even the most rural and remote areas of Lancashire have access to fibre broad band, and it is great news that Superfast Lancashire has been able to roll it out to so many people in Gisburn. “Earlier this year Lanca
shire received nearly £4m. additional funding as part of Broadband Delivery UK’s Superfast Extension Pro gramme. “We are still in the pro
curement process to start delivering that programme, but it brings the possibility of more of Gisburn, and other remote areas of the county, gaining access to fibre broad band in the future." Steve Edwards, director
of fibre broadband projects for BT Group, said: “The
community in Gisburn has played a key role in making the case forfibre broadband. Superfast Lancashire will bring fibre broadband to 97% of the homes and businesses in the county, and with Lanca shire County Council we will be exploring how we can go even farther.” • Residents can look for
ward to download speeds of up to 80 megabits per second and upload speeds of up to 20Mbps. This allows multiple users in a household to surf the internet, download and share large files of informa tion, upload photographs, and download music, films and television programmes all at the same time, and more quickly than ever before. Work on the Superfast
Lancashire project is well underway across the county. Openreach engineersare lay ing around 2,700 kilometres of optical fibre cable and in stalling around 700 newfibre broadband cabinets through out the Superfast Lancashire Broadband Project area. It is..
estimated that engineers will complete over a million staff hours-of work planning and building the network during the lifetime of the project. The SFL programme is
in addition to BT’s own com mercial rollout, which covers two-thirds of premises in the UK. The two projects togeth er have now reached around 487,000 homes and business es in Lancashire - 72% of the county. The Openreach network is
open to all broadband service providers on an equal whole sale basis. In order to-get fibre broadband, residents and businesses should con tact their service provider as this upgrade does not happen automatically. Superfast Lancashire is a
partnership between Lanca shire County Council and BT, with additional funding from the Government’s Broadband Delivery UK, as well as the European Regional Develop ment Fund, Blackburn with Darwen Council and Black pool Council.
