Assurances that the “ Spades a Go G o ” discotheque, in George Street, Whalley, has been fully sound­ p r o o f e d have been received by Clitheroe Rural Council.


The council wrote to the proprietors of the Ace of Spades night club, expressing concern that complaints of noise caused by the club would be increased by the extra music from the dis­ cotheque.


The club replied that most oil the noise appeared to be j caused by customers in the street, and added that plans for sound-proofing the club I were now In hand.


The discotheque, which opened j last month, and is open on Wednesdays, Fridays and! Saturdays, had already been sound-proofed.


Members of the council had also been concerned that visitors to the discotheque, which is advertised as cater­ ing for the 15— 18 age group, would be able to gain access to the night club.

Two Burnley men who were seen taking a spare wheel


from a mini-car parked outside the Petre Arms. Billington, were sent in custody to Preston sessions for sentence by Blackburn and Church magistrates on Friday.

park, and pork next to a mini car. The officer saw Moore get


out of the driving seat and take a spare wheel, worth


£8 10s. from the boot of the mini. He put this into the boot of the car he was driving. The


officer then questioned the men. In a statement, Moore said:
