Voters in Littlemoor and Billington are advised of new polling stations for the Parliamentary, borough and parish elections on Thursday May 7th. Voters in the Littlemoor


ward of Clitheroe will vote in the R.OSLA block at Ribbles- dale High School, instead of the Garden Room at St James’s Church, while voters in Bill­ ington will vote at a mobile unit at Hodgefield, instead of Langho Community Hall. Voters throughout Ribble


Valley have recently received poll cards giving the location of their designated polling station. Stations will be open


from 7 am to 10 pm and all reg­ istered electors will be able to cast their vote in person, un­ less they have registered to vote by post. Once inside the polling sta­


tion, voters are required to tell polling staff their name and


address, so that their details can be checked against the electoral register. They w i l l . then be given a ballot paper


fortheParliamentaryelection and where relevant separate


ballot papers for the borough and parish elections. The ballot papers list the


candidates standing for elec­ tion and voters are asked to take the ballot paper to a poll­


ing booth and mark a cross (X) in the box to the right of the name of the candidate or candidates they want to vote for, fold the ballot paper in half and put it in the ballot box. Voters are asked not to


write anything else on their ballot paper, or their vote may not be counted. Anyone requiring assistance in com­ pleting their ballot paper can take a companion with them, or polling station staff will be


happy to help. The Parliamentary elec­


tion has attracted eight can­ didates in Ribble Valley, while 76 will be vying for 38 seats on


the borough council. E R AAD


new friends and shared many new experiences along the way. I’ve done some pretty fan­ tastic things with Scouts since I became a volunteer but this tops the lot.” Between the opening and.


closing ceremonies, partici­ pants will have the opportu­ nity to take part in hundreds


The Clitheroe Scout contingent (s)


of activities focused on dis­ covering new cultures, the environment and sustainable development as well as explor­ ing global development issues. Taking a break from the


vibrant main Jamboree site with its 30,000 participants, the Clitheroe group will also take part in a moving visit to the Peace Park in the town of Hiroshima. This part of the programme will take Scouts in mixed groups from almost every nation on earth to expe­ rience the solemn and reflec­ tive atmosphere which has


been specially created in the Peace Park. Clitheroe Explorer Scout


Tom (16) said “This is a real op­ portunity for me to meet oth­ er young people from all over the world, to discover things about their culture and tradi- tions and have fun with them. I j ust can’t wait to get there.” The World Scout Jambo­


ree runs until 8th August. The Scouts from Clitheroe will then spend some more time visiting the homes of other Scouts in Kyoto before return­ ing to the UK.
