A CLITHEROE councillor


criticised the absence of the MOH. Dr. P. M. Summon from the meeting of th e public health committee this week. Coun. R. P. Ainsworth said Dr. Summon had not attended the previous meeting either and had spent only 10 minutes at the meeting before that. Coun. Ainsworth said it

A CLITHEROE councillor this week described as “ridiculous” the fact that the Department of the Environment had increased Ihe amount payable in grants for houses and area improve­ ments in certain areas only. Coun. H. Pearson was speak­

that the increase in grants was given to a council which.was in an improvement area. A small part of Clitheroc Rural District, in Whalley. was such an area and therefore the whole of the district qualified for the in­ crease.

areas were based on unemploy­ ment figures and it was pointed out that Clitheroc had very little unemployment.


It was also explained that the

officials, the medical officer of health Was not a full time official, of. the council and he had manv other .commitments which often clashed with their meetings. . Coun. D. A. Akker also commented on the doctor's ab­ sence. He said he had an im­ portant question to ask him but could not do so as he was not present. It was decided that the town
