GISBURN WANTS ACTION


OYER DANGEROUS JUNCTION


GISBURN RESIDENTS are so worried about a dangerous junction in the village that the. Women’s Institute and die Parish Council took a census of the vehicles passing through, said Councillor B. Bentley, of Gisburn, at the monthly meeting of Bowland Rural Council on Monday. He said that the junction


—of the main road and the Hellifield Road—was dan­ gerous because drivers com­ ing from the Hellifield Road towards Clitheroe could not see clearly until they were well out into the road, as. the view was obscured by a church wall.

I 6,503 vehicles passed through the village from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. So a driver turning into the road could easily meet one of these cars, which often go at fast speeds along the main road.” Coun. BenUey referred to. a
