Rock ‘n’ rolling the night away for a great cause!


A Rock ‘n’ Roll charity night organised by Clitheroe company Ashcroft Homecare Ltd raised more than £620 for Cancer Research. The night of’50s musical nostalgia went down a storm, at­ tracting more than 80 people from across the regions, as far away as Manchester and Yorkshire. There was live music from singer Colin Paul and non-stop tunes from Charlie’s “Revive 45” disco to keep the evening going with a swing, plus a raffle and an excellent pie and peas supper. , It all took place at St Michael and St John’s Social Centre, or­ ganised by Ashcroft’s manager Margaret Dewhurst, director


Selina Towers and their staff. “We want to thank everyone who supported the event, donat­ ed raffle prizes, came along on the night or helped out behind the scenes,” said Margaret. “We couldn't have raised more than £620 for Cancer Re­ search without their help.” Based at the Fern Court Business Centre in the heart of Clit­ heroe, Ashcroft Homecare provides care services to people in their own homes across the area. Established for almost eight years, its carers regularly look after people affected by cancer, so it was a cause close to their hearts,

As readers of the Clitheroe Ad­ vertiser and Times will know, a project to restore and con­ serve the Clitheroe Pinnacle will go on throughout this year, with regular updates here. Last week the.weather


stayed fine for the condition survey ofthe pinnacle. A great deal o f useful in­


formation was gathered from the close-up view of the stone­ work and this will be incor­ porated into the information given to prospective contrac­ tors.


One special consideration


is that the stone from which the pinnacle was made - and the rest of the Houses of Par­ liament for that matter - was from a quarry that is now closed. This means that any re­ placement sections will need to come from somewhere else. However, they need to


be as close as possible to the original, not only for the vis­ ual appearance, but to avoid weathering problems that mixing stone types can cause. Ivan Wilson Architects will


now prepare the tender docu­ ment to be sent out to a spe­


cialist contractor.

Homeless man now barred from Blackburn centre


A43-year-old man, who is al­ ready banned from Whalley and Clitheroe, has nowbeen barred from Blackburn town centre after being caught begging there on two occa­ sions. Blackburn magistrates


heard an Anti-social Behav­ iour Order banned Gavin Whalley from begging any­ where in the UK. And fol­ lowing the latest breaches magistrates made a Crimi­ nal Behaviour Order, which bans him from Blackburn town centre for two years and also from entering Kemp Court, an independant living complex for elderly people, for the same period. Whalley, who gave his


current address as Ward Cg at Royal Blackburn Hospital, pleaded guilty to two breach­ es of the Asbo. He was made subject to community su­ pervision for sixmonths and ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge. Suzie Privett (prosecut­


ing) said Whalley had been seen begging outside Mor­ risons on one occasion and on the other nearby in Rail­


way Road. “People feel in­ timidated and threatened by his behaviour,” she said. “The manager of Kemple Court describes a couple of instanceswherehehascome into the complex, causing distress to the residents.” Jonathan Taylor (defend­


ing) said staff at the hospital were extremely concerned about Whalley leaving with­ out having anywhere to go. “ I f he is back on the


streets they don’t antici­ pate he will be alive for very long,” said Mr Taylor. He said hehad known Whalley since school days. “When he was in the Whalley and Clitheroe areas a lot of people would go out of their way to give him food because they knew him from school,” said Mr Taylor. He said at one time Whalley had worked as a security of­ ficer at the Brockh all Village complex until things start­ ed to go wrong in his life. “He started to drink more and in recent years there have been psychiatric issues. He’s no longer able to look after himself and the begging has clearly become a problem.”
