Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, June 2, 1961. A PLANNING GRIEVANCE


rUHERE is no regular way in x which the village opinion can


be obtained on a planning issue affecting that village because parish councils have no legal right to be notified and the methods of publicity laid down are patently inadequate. The National Association of' Parish Councils has worked out several procedures which have been tried successfully and which do not cause even one day’s delay.


May I appeal for the following -

There is a widespread feeling


of grievance. We would like to know how deep it goes.

ROVER MOOT


(JLITHEROE and district people, proud of the Scout move­


ment, are pleased to hear that Alban Snape, of 39, Standen Road, has been chosen to repre­ sent N.E. Lancs, in the 7th World Rover Moot to be held at Mel­ bourne, Australia, b e tw e e n December, 1961, and January, 1962.


Alban deserves the honour, for


he has been in the Scout move­ ment for 17 years and is at present Scoutmaster of Ribbles- dale Troop and Rover Scout Leader of Toe H Crew.


Naturally the immense dis­


tance to cover entails very heavy expense—over £350—as it is a round trip of 25,000 miles. Alban will need much financial


help. In addition to the local efforts being organised on his behalf, why not open a public subscription list restricted to amounts of 5s. each contribu­ tion? As a Scout of 50 yeans ago, in


Sgt. Major Dawson’s Troop, I feel many more old Scouts would be glad to help. In addition to coverage of ex­


penses, let us send him away with a nice wallet of spending money.

North-to seek the golden eagle The majority of my ex­


peditions have been made with the primary object of watching and photographing wild life and with getting to know something of how these islanders live. We are apt to take all these cars, tractors and mechanical devices we find so common in our own countryside as an1 indispen- sible part of civilisation until we see and compare the people and lives of these islanders and crofters of the Highlands. It is then that we note it is not always necessary to go to a foreign land to see something different.

I though of exploring a bit of new territory in Britain with the hope of seeing not only something different but of watching at least one creature which seldom fails to attract young and old, be they ornithologists or observers I wanted to see one of the rarest birds in our land and perhaps the most exciting.
