Clitheroe. All that is being asked is


i the Government should

FROM a local authority viewpoint opinions are divided on the idea of “ trading” Chatburn Old Road in return for a traffic link from Pimlico to the Clitlieroe-Whalley bypass.


-T-C- — 1 The scheme, proposed jointly by Ribblesdale Cement J .3jes .


Ltd and Richard Briggs and Sons Ltd., includes a huge man-made lake and was first revealed by the Advertiser and


Times few weeks ago. Clitheroe Town Council support the project, but Bowland


Rural Council spoke against it last week and now Clitheroe Rural Council, while raising no objection in principle, have strong re­ servations on how it should be carried out and the limits that ought to be imposed.


In a 2,000 word statement to


the Divisional Planning Officer Clitheroe Rural make 14 points including “ the very serious sug­ gestion” that the area should eventually be restored. This is considered preferable to creat­ ing a man-made lake.


EASIEST The council suggest that “ the


companies are taking all and giving nothing; that the lake is the easiest way out; and that, although at the moment all the minerals in the Old Road and in the adjoining areas on each side are sterilised, planning consent automatically P u t s thousands of pomids into the companies’ hands without cost­ ing them anything.” The view is taken that i e.-rot­


ation would be of much greater amenity benefit than a lake, and


success of work oE ih^ natuie attention is drawn “


on Merseyside and in Restoration of the area is


seen as affording the possibility of eventually providing a new Old Road and restoration of the network of footpaths m the

disgraceful site ° f for a period of maybe 30 to oO


~ eRegarding any other quarry­ ing activities in their area,


known to them that they would be “against the taking of mate­ rials from any other source In the district, most of which is designated as an area of great landscape value and most of it within the Forest of Bowland area of outstanding natural beauty.” The council allege that one


Clitheroe Rural Council says quite bluntly that they would wish to restrict the companies to the area contemplated. They want it to be made


of the companies with “having tried to pull the wool over our eyes” where future extraction of minerals from land in the Chatbum-Worston area is con­ cerned by showing landscaping in this direction as part of their lake proposals".


SUPPORT The council say categorically


ing and Development Com­ mittee to support this stand. Tile committee are asked to


that they “will not agree to any quarrying in that or any other part of their district out­ side the present areas.” They ask the County Plann­


ensure that the fullest possible information is given to the pub­ lic and it' is suggested that, apart from the link road, no action should be taken until this has been done. Regarding the link road, the


Rural Council say they have no objections. In fact they were the originators of the suggestion some yearn ago. It is noted that the companies


have made a big point that they are paying for the length from Pimlico to Chatburn Road. Tlie council say they cannot


see this costing tile figure quo­ ted, especially as they under­ stand that the Comity will pay for the crossing of Chatbum Road, and the line of road from Pimlico already practically exists now. They comment: “The coun­


cil do not like the companies’ statement that they will not pay for the link road unless they get permission to quarry


Chatburn Old Road, and they consider that the link road should be pressed on the appli­ cants, whatever the result of the Old Road applications.”


The Chatbum Old Road pro­ posal has been opposed by some


correspondents to the Advertiser and Times and quite by coin­ cidence on the day that the Rural Council made their statement a Grindleton resi­ dent wrote on surprisingly simi­ lar lines while on holiday in Spain.


UGLY Mr. J. M. L. Gilks, of Stone-


hill House, fears that the area bounded b the A59, Chat­ bum v i l l a g e , and r i v e r and Clitheroe will be laid waste and that it is more than likely that proposed workings will encroach South of Chat­ burn Road. “One has only to examine the area opposite Clitheroe Hospital to sec what ugly devastation will result.”

Mr. Gilks also draws atten­ Mr. Gilks describes as “fan­


ciful” the supposition that any commercial company will bind themselves unavoidably to such huge expenditui-e as the con­ struction of a reservoir and re­


creation would involve, so far ahead.

He feels that if the link road


made public; that the proposals to restore and landscape the exhausted workings should be made public; that any such re­ storation should be taken in step with the progress of the quarry and finally that the whole thing should be made legal and binding.


Mr. Gilks, final point is that


many people deplore the whole conception. He advises those who have any doubts to see for themselves how quarrying in the Grassington, Settle and Skiptcm areas has debased the countryside.


Latest news available from


County Hall, Preston, is that talks are being held with Whitehall about the link road-

many doctors in these areas are not aware of the centre and what it is capable of doing”, he added.


National problem Many old people quickly be­


came bed-fast if they were not encouraged to keep active and physiotherapy could do a lot to cope with this national pro­ blem, said Dr. Royie. He invited doctors in these


fringe areas to make more use of the clitheroe centre, in deal­ ing with their patients. "We have such a lot of very


good equipment here and it is not being used to its maximum. In the old centre we were very limited for space but here we have a gymnasium and all the equipment that would be avail­ able in a hospital department, and we would like to be used more” , he said. “We think, too, that some doc­


tors- are not aware of the variety of conditions that are amenable to treatment by phy­ siotherapy. As well as the usual skeletal things like rheumatism which can make people bed­


PEOPLE SHARE


THIS GIFT


CLITHEROE’S year-old Physiotherapy Centre—with its modern facilities worth thousands of pounds— is s till not operating at full capacity, despite the fact that treatment facilities in some surrounding areas are overloaded. The Blackburn physiotherapy centres are over-worked -


and we are inclined to think that people on the fringe areas of Padiham, Great Harwood and Ribblesdale, don’t know about the facilities which are available here in Clitheroe,” said Dr. Cyril Royle, a trustee of the Clitheroe and District


Nursing Association’s Physiotherapy Centre. “We also feel that perhaps__________


fast, many other conditions such as falling hair, which can be most distressing to ladies, and boils and ulcers are amen­ able to physiotherapy, although one might not think of them as so being”, said Dr. Royle. In the last year, the centre—


which was financed by Clith­ eroe businessman, Mr. Sidney Whiteside—has performed 6,267 treatments. These range from rheumatic disabilities to ner­ vous disorders and soft-tissue conditions. The centre not only caters for elderly people but


also young children who have difficulty in learning to walk or who cannot use their hands properly.


With running costs approach­


ing £7,000 a year, the centre is supported by contributions


from local organisations, local authorities and gifts as well as the modest charges which patients pay for each visit they make.


There are plans to open the


centre to the public for a day soon and classes for exercise therapy may be started this year, said the centre-'superin­ tendent, Mr. Anthony Hollings, a chartered physiotherapist. “I couldn't wish for a nicer


place to work. It has everythin; and working conditions are ideal”, he added.

ABORTION INQUIRY


A large number of MP’s on


bolh sides of the House feel that an independent inquiry ought to be made into the abortion laws, Mr. David Walder. the Member for


Clitheroe said this week. Mr. Walder is one of 12 Lan­ cashire MP’s who support this


point of view. He told the Advertiser and


Times; “It is certainly the opin­ ion of the Conservative back benchers.’’ During the election, the topic


was revealed as one of major concern throughout the coun­ try. He added that virtually every


MP was receiving letters and in his opinion Parliament was now in a position to press the Government to carry out an inquiry.

Prank cost Gisburn man £20


A “ POLITICAL PRANK” involving a candidate's car


during the General Election campaign led to a Gisburn sales executive being lined £20 at Nelson, on Tuesday. Mr. John Edward Brad­


ley, aged 24, of Newiield Edge Farm. Gisburn, pleaded not guilty to steal­ ing two loudspeakers from a car belonging to the Labour candidate of Nelson and


Colne, Mr. Douglas Hoyle. Mr. Bradley said; “It was


purely a political prank,” and explained that he had taken


the speakers as a joke. The magistrates found the


case proved and as well as fin­ ing him, they ordered him to pay £12 12s costs. PC B. Butler told the magis­


trates he visited the scene of an accident in Blacko and spoke to Mr. Bradley, who was the driver of a ra’- involved. Two loudspeakers were found


in a field about 20 yards from


where th e accident had occurred. but when asked about them. Mr. Bradley said he knew nothing about them. Later, the defendant admit­


ted responsibility for the loud­ speakers. In a statement he said: ''Rather than an act of theft, it was political reasoning behind the sabotage." Giving evidence, Mr. Bradley


said he had been at a party and had stayed at a house all night. While he was returning homo through Barrowford, he saw Mr. Hoyle's campaign car. “I was in fairly high spirits,


so I decided to take the speak­ ers for a short while until after the election.” He said he had taken them


in an effort to foil the Labour Party campaign. T took them but intended to


return them either on the Friday morning after the elec­ tion or on Thursday night when the result had been an­ nounced." Mr. Bradley went on to say


that if he had intended to deprive the Labour Party of the speakers permanently, ho would have thrown them over a nearby bridge into the river. As it happened, he was on his


way home when he was in­ volved in an accident and he hid them behind a wall to avoid the embarrassment of being found with them in his possession. Mr. Bradley said he intended


to go back to collect them when everyone, including the police, had left the scene. In a statement, Mr. Hoyle


said he parked his car behind his home in Reedyford Road. Nelson, five days before the election. It had two loudspakers


attached to the top at the time. The next morning, when he


returned, the speakers were missing.
