VIEWPOINT


'J'HE charge of apathy over local affairs is often made


against (lie public. But any­ one of this view attending the public meeting held at Whalley on Monday night in connection with the vil­ lage’s traffic p r ob lems , would have had cause to revise their opinion.


As is stated in a report in today’s issue of the Adver­ tiser and Times, the meet­ ing was crowded as villagers came to express the ir views.


Whalley residents are not given to holding public


meetings lightly. When they do. there is usually some grave issue to be debated,


and such meetings are generally well supported.


The protest against the road- widening plan is an indica­ tion tha t the ordinary people do care about what happens in their com­ munity.

It seems that Whalley resi­ dents have reached tha stage.

The cynical may call tit meeting a futile gesture but the outcome of the figh
