FAMILY, friends and colleagues are mourning the loss of one of Lancashire’s most dedicated police cadet leaders, who has died aged 72. John Terence Shorter, of Sabden, had served as a community roadwatch volunteer for Hyndburn Police for nine years before becoming a police cadet leader in Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley two years ago. During that time Mr Shorter, who leaves beloved wife of 33 years Janice and son Martin, distinguished himself to his colleagues and community alike with his warmth, dedication and passion for his role. PCSO Katie Ferguson, who served alongside Mr Shorter, said: “He had a really cheeky personality and was a great advocate for the cadets.”

It s not been a good year to be running a pub and despite the route for the country to get out of lockdown - and hopefully not go back into it - being mapped out, there are fears many pubs could close permanently.
The same is true for community hubs, theatres and sporting organisations, hit hard by people being ordered to stay at home and their doors being closed.
But there is a ray of good news. Chancellor Rishi Sunak s announcement of a £150million Community Ownership Fund in last week s Budget was a largely unexpected one.
It means communities have been given a financial lifeline to protect their favourite local pub or sports ground from being sold for housing or going bust.
