Incredi-bobble


You may recently have watched on TV Dan Snow and colleagues rafting the Grand Canyon. If that has whetted your appetite for adventure, Ribble Valley’s own Steuart and Anita Kelling- ton invite you to enjoy the story of their experience of Rafting the Grand Canyon. In aprofes- sionally presnted illustrated lecture, they introduce the Grand Canyon with a trek from the. South Rim down 3,200 feet to see rafts on the Colorado River and then relate their story of an eight-day raffing adventure down 276 miles of the Colorado through the Grand Canyon. It - takes place on Friday February 7th from 7-30 pm at Trinity Methodist Church Hall, in Parson Lane, Clitheroe. The cost of the evening is just £5 payable at the door (no tickets), including in­ terval refreshments, with net proceeds for the Trinity Church Redevelopment Fund. t

employs around34,500peo­ ple, but most jobs are fund-." ed through the ring-fenced •: schools budget, so the cuts - affect its non-schools work­ force of around 13,000. The leader of the council,


County Coun. Jennifer Mein, said: “This is the harsh real­ ity of the cuts being imposed by Government. ...“The council simply can- notmakethesesavingswith- out significant reductions, both in the services it pro­ vides to local communities and in the number of people


it employs to deliver those services.


“These are decisions we would rather not have to


make;'but I am determined to lead the council through this period in a way that makes the changes as fair as possible to the public and employees alike.” ./ County Coun. David Borrow, deputy leader and portfolio holder for finance, said: “Our priorities will re­ main to protect vulnerable people and promote eco­ nomic growth, but there is no doubt this will be a very different and much smaller organisation in a few years’ time.” The council is asking for


views on aproposed 1.99% in­ crease in council tax for the coming financial year. County Coun. Mein said: 5P


“It means 41. per week


more for a band D property ,but would bring in an extra £7.3 million a year for the council which could pay for 180 children’s social work-


. ers or the repair of nearly 300,000 potholes.”
