A scramble’ for


planning staff says Town Clerk


WHATEVER its shortcom­ ings, and it had a lot, the present local government system had served not only Clitheroe but the rest of the country ex­ tremely well, Mr John Cowdall, Town Clerk, told Clitheroe Civic Society.


Mr Cowdall was speaking


about local government re­ organisation, with special re­ ference to planning.

would sit on four separate authorities.


Some officers would serve


two authorities during that period and “ all in all it


promises to be quite a time for everyone involved. ”


Mr Cowdall described the amount of work being spent an local government re­


organisation as "quite stag­ gering. ’’ Many officers were spending half their time- some more than this—on the task.

Fires at Calderstones


CLITHEROE firemen at­ tended two fires at Calder­ stones Hospital at the week­ end—but both had been put out by the time they arrived.


The first incident, on


Saturday afternoon, occured in a toilet block where paper


towelling caught fire. Hospi­ tal staff soon extinguished the fire, however, and there was little damage.


Introduction of new games and exhibits classes for chil­ dren below school age. These were so successful that it has been decided to add more children’s classes this year.


F a l l


A OLITHERGE man, Mr Thomas Ellis, of Primrose Street, was taken to Ace rlngton Victoria Hospital with a fractured ankle after falling in the snow in Kay Street, Clitheroe, on Tues­ day.


On Sunday morning the hospital’s own fire brigade


was able to deal with a small fire in the chief nursing officer's office.


Part of a wall was charred and some paper 'destroyed.


A hospital spokesman said, however, that nothing of great imp o r t a n c e was damagad. Clitheroe firemen were Joined by crews from Accrington and Great Har­ wood at both incidents. Cause of the fires is not yet known.

He briefly described the


the county to take over their planning responsibilities but most would want to keep their powers.


Districts would need new


planning departments staffed oy qualified and experienced people and, Mr Cowdall said;


“ To my mind a grave short­ age of staff at tnis level is inevitable. Those with the right sort of qualifications and experience are probably already with the counties and may not be anxious to move into the new districts for many reasons.’


IMPORTANCE

about accommodation for the new authority, Mr Cow­ dall remarked that offices are already a problem in Clitheroe, with departments in various places. “ After re­ organisation, the likely staff­ ing requirements will be ac­ commodated in existing premises, including the Clith­ eroe rural and Bowland rural offices, on a temporary basis. ’’

members, the meeting was chaired by Mr Donald Coates, and a vote of thanks was proposed to Mr Cowdall by Mr Edward Hill.
