Town survey tells them the answer


" "yy HAT arc they doing for us?" and “ Where can wc go at nights V * arc tivo questions which are heard quite


frequently from a section of the youth of Clithcroe. The matter was again spotlighted last week when six teen­


agers presented a petition to the Mayor (Aid. E. Crosslej) asking if youth club premises could be provided in Clithcroe. Adults naturally, arc only too ready to point out that in

their voungcr days they provided their own entertainment. Prom investigations carried


out in the town this week, an Advertiser and Times reporter has ascertained t h a t


problem springs from the fact that there is no “ open" youth club in the town. This is aggravated by lire fact

greatly improved. When it is completed th e club

work in connection with this. A leisure time lounge with,


town need, however, is a little patience. As reported in the Advertiser and Times in August, a youth centre where young people of all denominations can meet, is to Ire established in Clithcroe. possibly by Christmas. The youth club premises in Trinity Church in Parson Lane

selves. The only thing which is lacking is a building where they can "Twist and Shout" seven nights a week—and many people would consider such a place u n ­


desirable. When the youth centre is open

the new church are strong and arc being co-ordinated in one


building which will be known as

the club’s scheme is th a t it is expected to rocket membership. ’ At present there arc about


sixty members, bu t i t is expected th a t this number will be almost


doubled.
