You can bank onNWAAto spend it well!


Fines levied against major banks involved in the Libor rate scandal-in which finan­ cial instutions manipulated the inter-bank interest rate - are being put to good use. Recently the Government donated £sm. of the money to theAssociation of Air Am­ bulances, with £250,000 of that going to the North West Air Ambulace charity, cover­ ing this region. In one of his last jobs as


Ribble Valley MP (before this week’s dissolution of Parlia­ ment) Nigel Evans went to the NWAAbase at Blackpool to find out how it will spend the cash windfall to improve still further the lifesaving service it provides.

Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil has published its 2015 visitor guide, Discover Ribble Valley.


The new-look guide was rede­ signed in a coffee table mag­ azine style two years’ ago, following consultation with customers and advertisers. It has been a great success, doubling in size from previ­ ous editions and attracting significant interest. This year’s guide features


sections on food, shopping, heritage, outdoor activi­ ties, particularly cycling and walking; weddings, the arts, a What’s On and comprehen­ sive accommodation listings. It also features recipes


from local chefs Gareth Bev- an, of Food by Breda Murphy, and Ryan Greene of Foxfields Country Hotel, Billington. The council’s tourism and


events officer, Tom Pridmore, said: “2015 is an exciting year for tourism in Ribble Val­ ley, which is hosting Stage 2 of this year’s Tour of Brit­ ain and, as well as being a premier food destination, is now an emerging wedding destination. Discover Ribble Valley focuses on businesses with a real story to tell offer­ ing authentic visitor experi­ ences around the themes of food, outdoor pursuits and weddings. “The guide has been very


well received since undergo­ ing a revamp and demand for it is increasing year-on-year.” Latest figures have re­


vealed that day-trippers and weekenders are flocking to Ribble Valley in their droves. Discover Ribble Valley has


been distributed to tourism exhibitions and visitor infor­ mation centres across the UK.


' It is also available from the Visitor Information Centre and Platform Gallery in Sta­ tion Road, Clitheroe (01200 425566).
