CHEAP FARES PLEA


REJECTED


AN urgent plea by Labour councillors for Clitheroe to introduce a concessionary bus fares scheme for pensioners went unheeded at the Town Council budget meeting. So, too, did the plea of Clitheroe Divisional Liberal Party contained in a letter handed to the Mayor, Coun. Richard Turner, just before the meeting started.
