BOWLAND CRITIC SAYS, “MAKING A SUBURB FOR CLITHEROE”


JN building houses at Waddington and Grindlcton, Bowland Rural Council were “ only making a suburb for Clitheroe.” This was stated at the monthly meeting of the Council’s


Housing Committee on Monday by the chairman, Councillor B. Bentley, who urged the council to build two pairs of houses and two pairs of bungalows at Gisburn.


“ If we suggest building


houses at Grindlcton or Wad­ dington it’s ‘ hip-liip-hooray,’ but we can’t have any houses at Gisburn,” Councillor Bent­ ley declared.


The Clerk of the Council, Mr.


L. D. Telford has told the com­ mittee th at Gisburn Parish Council had mitten to the Coun­ cil asking for two pairs of houses and two pairs of bungalows to be built at Gisburn.


Councillor Bentley said there


was a suitable site a t Gisburn fo r th e house; and bungalows.


In reply to Councillor T. H.


Aspin, who said that he would rather see flats built because of the smaller area of land required. Councillor Bentley said “ that old people did not want flats because of the stairs. " If the houses and bugalows


were built there would be no difficulty in letting them.” The Council’s houses at Grin-


dleton and Waddington were making the tillages just suburbs of Clitheroe.


Eighty per cent of the people


living in the houses worked in Clitheroe and district. Mr. Telford pointed out tliat


many of the people living in Clitheroe, worked in Blackburn


and other towns. Councillor J. Spenslcy asked,


‘ ‘Have wc any need for houses in Gisburn? Until that is estab­ lished, all this is irrelevant. We need to look further into this. “ We have built houses in


Grindleton and Waddington and people expected further develop­ ment. A few houses would increase the demand in Gisbunt.” Councillor Bentley replied, “ By


the time you have got these houses built there will be 20 applicants. People don’t put their names down until the houses arc built.” If the plan was to build


houses at Waddington and Grin­ dleton tile committee would cheer, said Councillor Bentley.


The committee decided to write


to Gisburn Parish Council, ask­ ing for a list of housing appli­ cants.


Sermons preached since 1681


J^ORD CLITHEROE, of Downliam Hall, was among the congregation at Downhain Parish Church on Sunday


afternoon when the Provost of Blackburn Cathedral, the Very Rev. Norman Robinson, preached the Assheton Sermon.


The service was conducted


by the Vicar of Downham. the Rev. Walter Allen.


Tlie sermon has been preached


through the centuries since 1681, following the proving of the will of Sir Ralph Assheton, Lord of the Manor of Downham, the previous year.


Sir Ralph was the second


liament, although strongly dis­ approving of King Charles being brought to trial. Sir Ralph entered Grays Inn in 1624 and became High Sheiff in 1633. His will reads:


Baronet of Wlialley and Down­ ham. son of Sir Ralph of Great Lever and Wlialley. He was baptised at Whallev and buried at Downham. He mar ri e d Dorothy, daughter of Nicholas Tufton, Earl of Thanet. For many years, lie sat as Member of Parliament for Clitheroe and tvas a Member of the Long Par­

WILSON DEFENDED: LIBERAL ‘BARKING UP WRONG TREE’


REPLY to criticisms by Mr. Martin Strange, the Liberal candidate, about Labour’s policy on defence, was made by


Mr. Doug Hoyle, prospective Parliamentary Labour candidale for Clithcroe Division, when he addressed the Labour Women’s section at Great Harwood on Saturday. He said: “ Mr. Strange has criticised Harold Wilson for


suggesting joint talks on defence problems. He states that we desire to take defence out of party politics because we fear a split in the Labour Party on defence. “ Let, me assure Mr. Strange


that he is barking up the wrong tree. Mr. Wilson made it quite clear in his speech in the House ot Commons, during the recent defence debate, the limitations he wishes to impose on sucli talks.


“ He is interested in discussing


the strain imposed on our con­ ventional forces,' because of the crises that have arisen in Malay­ sia and Cyprus, and the question of whether wc have adequate reserves to meet any other com­ mitment that may arise in the future. "This is particularly relevant


in view of the explosive situa­ tion which appears to be dcvelop- -ing in East Africa. •' He made it perfectly obvious


that the talks would not cover nuclear policy because of the wide gulf which exists between the Labour Party and the Tories on this issue.

“ The Buchanan Report shows


the vast amount of capital and planning which will be necessary to meet the needs of the motorist and pedestrian in the nurban areas.


“ Nowhere is the contrast be­


tween private affluence and pub­ lic squalor more apparent than when we examine the puny efforts of this Government to meet the needs of the population in relation to transport in a modem society."
