Co-operation Unity Among Authorities


A ^ appeal for friendly co-operation among the neighbouring authorities in the Clithcroe area was made by the Mayor of Clitheroc, Councillor John Hall, when he spoke at


the annual Chairman’s Dinner of Clithcroc Rural Council, held on Friday night, at the Whitcwoll Hotel.


said that in his early days as a member of Clitheroe Town Council dealings with the Rural Council were conducted in a polite but careful manner—only very experienced members being allowed to treat with “the other side." Junior members were taught by example that rather than say something likely to be misunderstood, it was better to say nothing.

This is the day of the big unit, and our size or rather the lack of it, was the only thing against us. Clitheroe does not want to lose anything but it does not want to take from others." The Mayor said that if the


Borough Council and its rural neighbours were allowed to remain as they were, surely they could improve the area that they governed with more joint efforts. Their children were coming closer together in secondary schools and in one direction and another, changes were taking place so that now there were no real divisions left. He asked Councillor Holden


to think as he did regarding making co-operation along those lines a feature of his Mayoralty.

cillor Holden drew attention to the fact that the Clitheroe Rural Authority had strayed a few yards over its borders in holding the event at the Whitewell Hotel and he supposed that had they followed correct procedure then Councillor T.
