SHELVED CLITHEROE lias “lost” a £44.500 youth centre.


LOW MOOR residents, without a meeting- place since the Sunday school at St Paul’s Church was demolished two years ago, are soon to have their own £13,000 parish hall and community centre. Man behind the scheme is


directly connected with tile parish church. It will be erected on the


site of the old church Sun­ day school, which was demolished two years ago, when it was found to be affected by dry rot. “ Since then, we have had

Future generations will also be grateful to us, as we are

and other bodies have used Edisford school.” A building fund was


not yet been granted for tile hail, although Mr Himt is confident that there will be no problems from this angle. '• Tlie building is prefabrica­ ted, and is being erected on the site of an old building, so there should be no diffi­ culties ” he said


which we .received such a goodly and Godly heritage. Planning permission lias


launched shortly after the demolition of the Sunday school, and thanks to a number of money-raising


events, this now stands at £2.000. And other loans and donations are already flow­ ing in. Said Mr Hunt: “The Diocese of Blackburn has promised us a gift of £500, and an interest-free loan of £2.500. while the Parish Church of St Mary Mag­ dalene has promised £100 a year for the next three years.” In addition, he said, a number of private dona­ tions have already been received.

Hunt stressed the urgency with which the money has to be raised. “ The time is ripe now for this parish hail project to go ahead.
