management team as highly qualified but also demonstrat­ ing a significant capacity for improvement. Inspectors al­ so praised them for having a clear understanding of and commitment to meeting the requirements of the Early Years Foundation stage.

Mile-and-a-half road with 88 pot holes


There may be 4,000 holes in Blackburn, but one sleepy Rib- ble Valley village can boast al­ most 90 on just one short stretch of road. Gallows Lane in Roches­


ter is in line for repairs, with 88 damaged areas circled and numbered on the mile-and-a- halfroad. Cyclists say the worn areas


force them to ride in the mid­ dle of the road, and highways bosses have pledged to deal with the problem. Andrew Orrell, sales man­


ager of Kingdom Furnishings based in Gallows Lane, said:


“I cycle to work most days and I really struggle on there. The bottom end of Gallows Lane


is absolutely full of them, 1 swerve all over the place to avoid them. Even in the car it’s very bumpy.” Farmer Brian Whalley,


who lives in Gallows Lane, said: “They’ve numbered each


potholestartingat the bottom ofthelane. “We are near the top and


we’ve got to 73, then there are some more higher up. It’s very


rough arid it needs sorting.” Karen Cassar, highways as­


set manager for Lancashire County Council, said: “We’ve used paint to identify the ex­ tent ofworn areas on Gallows Lane as part of our prepara- tionstocarryoutrepairs....... “Our approach will be to


put large patches over the damaged areas this year be­ fore returning next year to carry out a surface dressing treatment, which seals the whole surface and aims to pre­ serve it for a number of years by preventing water getting in and causing potholes to ap­ pear.


' “Our inspectors also use


paint to identify potholes which present a potential risk to traffic, which we pri­ oritise for temporary repair


within 20 working days. How­ ever this is not the case on Gal­ lows Lane where the damage


is less severe, but we are in­ stead marking out to prepare ■ a wider repair scheme."

Millie’s mum earns Pride of Britain title


Honour for raising awareness of paediatric first aid training.

An inspirational mum from


Whalley has wonatopaward. JoanneThompson was named as one o f the winners of the prestigiousDailyMirrorPride o f Britain Awards for the tire­ less work she and her hus­ band, Dan, have done to raise awareness of paediatric first aid training after their nine- month-old daughter, Millie, died after choking on food at a private nursery in Cheadle Hulmein20i2. The couple were presented


with their award in a star stud­ ded ceremony that was broad­ cast on television last week. Hosted by Carol Vorderman guests included Prime Min­ ister David Cameron, Prince Charles and dozens of celeb­ rity guests. Joanne, who lives in Stock-


port but spent several years living in Clitheroe and still has relatives here, said: “It is an ab­ solute honour to receive this nationally recognised award

launched a petition calling on the government to take ac­ tion over paediatric first aid training and in March minis­ ters proposed a change in the law to ensure new nursery and pre-school staff will be legally required to undertake a pae­ diatric first aid qualification for the first time. This will be the first step towards “Mil­ lie’s Law” where all nursery staff are eventually trained in first aid. The couple also suc­ ceeded in changing the law to get paediatric first aid kits in every ambulance. Last year Joanne, who gave


birth to the couple’s second child, a son Leo in February, was named as Lorraine Kelly’s Inspirational Woman of the Year. Next year will see the introduction of Millie’s Mark, a logo showing that all staff at a nursery have been trained in paediatric first aid. Joanne said: “It will be an


amazing moment. We have gone a lot further than we ev­ er thought we would.”
