Garden Club’s Annual Show. In addition to the entries

of fruit, flowers, plants, veg­ etables, cookery, photogra­ phy and handicrafts, there was also an amazing display of bonsais by the Accrington Bonsai Society. Clitheroe’s own Transi­


tion Town was also repre­ sented, displaying literature as well as their popular Apple Press. Clitheroe’s Deputy Mayor,


Councillor Jim Shervey, to­ gether with his wife Jen and family, were among the many visitors. Entry to the show, was free, but the cost was off­


espite the poor weather in Au­ gust, the garde­ ners of Ribble Valley produced


set by the sale of raffle tickets and refreshments, with the delicious home-made cakes proving as popular as ever. As usual the show was


held at St James’ Primary School in Greenacre Street, Clitheroe, and this year the trophies were presented by the new headteacher there, Mrs Fiona Pattison. ■ Among the 30 cups and


a fine display for Clitheroe


trophies awarded was the prestigious Banksian medal, given this year to Jane Gar­ ner, who gained the most points in the horticultural - sections of the show. This award from the Royal Hor­ ticultural Society (RHS) is named after the botanist and plant hunter Sir Joseph Banks. The President’s Award, in


recognition of Services to the Club, was awarded to Marion Fisher - the unsung heroine of the West View Allotments Sales Hut. Proceeds from the auction of produce at the end of show raised funds for the school.


Roadside surveys of Valley drivers about their journeys


Drivers in the Ribble Valley are being asked about their

journeys by Lancashire County Council during a series of roadside surveys this month. The information gath­


ered will provide vital evi­ dence for the development of long term measures to tackle t r a f f ic con g es t ion and improve transport, as out­ lined in the East Lancashire HighwaysandTransportMas-' terplan. The masterplan, pub­


lished earlier this year, lays the groundwork to iden­


tify and address transport problems to ensure the net­ work supports economic growth and offers people a range of transport choices which promote healthy life­ styles.

manager for East Lancashire, said: “We’ll be asking drivers to give us a couple of minutes of their time to tell us about their journey, which is vital for us to understand more about travel patterns and de­ velop solutions to congestion problems. “The information we have


at the moment allows us to progress smaller schemes in the short term, but we real­ ly need to develop a broader knowledge of people’s travel habits to understand the best approach to take in the long term. “We sorry for any incon­

transport in the coming years.”
