Pendle MP, Gordon Prentice, will visit two local schools this Friday (5 June) to present them with framed walking maps of the local area. The Burnley & Pendle Group of the Ramblers have decided to use a bequest from one of its members to donate framed walking maps to all Pendle Schools and Colleges. The Ramblers’ aim is to encourage more young people to explore the local countryside and enjoy the varied network of footpaths across Pendle. Mr Prentice is the newly elected President of the East Lancs Area of the Ramblers. He was instrumental in getting the Right To Roam legislation through Parliament in 2000 and is now actively supporting the Coastal Access legislation being debated at Westminster. The MP will present the first framed map at Colne Primet High School at 1.15 pm and give a short talk at the school assembly. At 2.15pm he will meet a group of Citizenship students at Ss John Fisher & Thomas More Catholic Humanities College and will present the Ramblers’ map to the College. Date Friday 5th June Time 1.15pm Colne Primet High School, Dent Street, Colne, BB8 8JF
