THE annual LSR Cliviger 6 road race was held on Sunday, starting from Mount Lane sportsfield.
Around 150 runners enjoyed the slightly cooler, damp conditions on the day, and all completed the course through Red Lees and Towneley then back via Burnley Road and Red Lees Road to finish in Mount Crescent.
Matt Moorhouse was first over the line, in 32 minutes 3 seconds, with Mark Brown and Neil Tattersall second and third.
The organisers would like to thank the race sponsors Shanks Deerplay Landfill and D & D Motors for their support, the event raised almost £600 for CRaCA funds.
THREE focus groups have been set up as part of the Cliviger Challenge, to look at different aspects of life in the parish.
All the groups will be meeting in the next week or so to consider what the members think is required to improve their particular area of interest.
The Community Facilities group will meet on Wednesday this week. The other groups will cover Transport and Environment, and Health and Education. During the Challenge week each group will present their ideas at consultation meetings in the Village Hall.
THE Parish Council has responded strongly to suggestions made by a borough councillor that the Cliviger Challenge is some kind of politically-motivated exercise devised by Burnley Council.
They have stressed that it is a totally community-led, non political project, which aims to improve life in Cliviger for all residents, and is fully supported by the parish council and local community groups.
