SHOULD WE SEEK? AFTER the recent publication of the unemployment figures, showing an alarming increase, we must be thankful for small mercies. So the news that a factory for the manufacture of concrete beams is to be built on the river bank at Low Moor will be received with a certain amount of satisfaction. But the town would be in a pathetic state if it were to go whooping for joy over the creation of some 40 more jobs on a site of a mill which once employed 800. While Clitheroe cannot afford to turn its nose up at

If we could attract only a few of these—even one in some instances—our employment problem would be solved and we would be on the road to expansion.

With an unemployment percentage firmly held during

assured that the “amenities” will be preserved—and in any case the present building is an eyesore so there is not a great deal that could be worsened initially—but we would be happier with further assurances. Will the storage of all the concrete units be always out of sight and under cover? And supposing, for instance that in ten years time the firm wanted to expand the factory, how would it do so? Would it be along the river . . . . towards Edisford, our possible “lido”? Finally, there is the question of the transport of the beams over the rural roads, and of course, through the village of Low Moor itself. We had recently got the impression that the Council were aiming to develop Low Moor residen- tially. Now this latest move seems to fly right in the face of that intention. With that sort of load going through the village Low Moor will be lucky to keep the residents it already has.


that was made about the Low Moor factory is that people who may be adversely affected know nothing about the proposal until it is a fait accompli.
