towards the cost of restoring a wall adjacent to the English Martyr’s RC Church.


The council have therefore,


regretfully turned down a request by. Father Vincent Hamilton, parish priest, for financial assistance. The wall is in danger of


collapsing, and before the April, meeting, the council inspected


it. At the meeting it was stated that after, seeking the advice o f ’ the Parish Councils Association and. referring to the regulations governing Parish Councils they had found that Urey had no authority to make grants from public funds for such a purpose. A number of local young


men anxious to promote a Whalley football team have asked the council for advice and assistance in finding a suitable playing pitch. The council is anxious to encourage the project and a number of avenues arc to be explored in an effort to help. The Council decided to send


their warm congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Frank snape, of Queen Street, who celebrated their golden wedding on Tues­


day. Congratulations are to be


sent, too. to Air. James Foster, of Woodfield View, who was


recently commended 'for Ws personal bravery in rescuing


two people from a fire in Clith­
