PROBLEM


OF SEEING PLANS


THE now-familiar complaint about planning applications not being made widely avail­ able was aired again at


Whalley Parish Council. Coun. John Shaw com­


plained that he could not see plans because the Ribble Valley Council offlees closed before he could get to Clitheroe from work. “ It's a most unsatisfactory state of aflairs,” he said. Coun. Miss Pauline Wilkin­


son backed him up: "I think something should be done. We should press our case very strongly indeed.” According to Conn. Shaw,
