AN £8million redevelopment scheme for Clitheroe Market featuring a 60-room hotel, restaurant, café, seven shops, 67-space car park and revamped market with a hall, 50 units, 28 cabins and 22 stalls has been officially launched.

COUNCILLORS in Ribble Valley have given the go-ahead for public consultation on the proposed Lancashire Combined Authority. A combined authority is a legal body that allows councils to work together more closely and with greater accountability.
