when they start school, asking them to design something which relates to them, it could be a hobby or a favourite pet - we then go in and help them paint their design on to a tile. We plan to car­ ry on until all the walls are full 1 ”

Clitheroe has been beaten by Longridge in a new list of the 20 best places to live in the UK.


The town was placed 13th, six places higher than last year, while Longridge was sixth, in the annual “Hotspots” report from OneFamily, the financial advisersand assurance group, released yesterday. The report, coming just


weeks after Ribble Valley was placed second in a Hamp­ tons UK estate agents’ sur­ vey, was based on post code, house prices, average income, crime rates and educational


performance. Number one wasWokinghaminBerkshire, with Winscombe, Somerset, runner-up and Faringdon, Ox­


fordshire, third. Clitheroe’s Town Mayor,


where people in charities and voluntary groups give some­ thing back.” The OneFamily report is


based on an analysis of more than 2,000 postcodes against 70 different sets of criteria. Aspokesperson said: “Clit­


heroe appeared in 19th place last year, so has improved its standing in 2015 thanks to excellent educational results and low average house prices.” The average two-bed-

Coun. Sue Knox, used to live notfarfrom Wokingham, and


knows where she’d rather be. “Wokingham is quite posh, but there are planes from Hea­


throw flying over the town and it’s expensive to live there,” she said. “Apart from our country­


side, Clitheroe has a wonder­ ful community spirit. There are lots of organisations that do so much for the town,


room house in Clitheroe is £146,718,compared to£i67^27


in Longridge and a whopping


£281,495 in Wokingham. With Clitheroe’s medi­


an income of £23,670, hous­ es are easier to buy than in Longridge (income £19,193) or Wokingham, where the me­ dian income of £27,362 would not even cover one-tenth of the cost of a two-bed house. Clitheroe was tops out of


'the 20 for primary school edu­ cation, with 33.8 points for the


average Key Stage 2 score, and was in the top 10 for secondary education, with 65.7% gaining fourormoreGCSEsatA* toC. Longridge’s figures were simi- larat32.8points and 67.3% re­ spectively. Crime figures in both


towns were low; Longridge (PR3) suffering just 0.1 crime per head and Clitheroe (BB7) on 0.18. Karl Elliott, spokesper­


son at OneFamily, said: “Life’s milestone moments are often exciting but they can also be stressful, and moving house is rightup there with themost


difficult. “We have created an easy


way tohelpthemfindthebest place to live. This includes our report and the Family Hotspots calculator. Anyone visiting www.one-
