'HOUGH not directly ,'fected by the county coun- l's outrageous proposal for ■stablishing so-called “tem- orary” social service- and Jucation offices behind Pim- co Road, I share the indigna- on of the residents of the
1s.st side at the further gross tisuse of the only remaining iece of publicly-owned green ind in this essentially resi-
lential area. Trees would have ,teen tore welcome, had the council
£37 5 11
ieeided to plant them. It is t;:le more than a year since his plot was levelled and eseeded at a cost of over 12,000 on the reasonable assumption that it would be .ised as a play area. This part of our town is •ery busy with traffic, and a
day-area for the many chil- Iren there was much needed .nil often requested. Within months of being own. the grass was torn up nd replaced by the Ribble .'illey authority surveyor's

temporary offices. These require an extensive car park for their vehicles, which all arrive at the same time as the children for Pendle Junior School. Surely the immediate resi
dents will have rights to see and comment on the proposed plans and parking area, which is bound to affect their private garages, said to be on provi sional notice. It must'be borne in mind
that the exits and .entrances from these car parks emerge from Princess Avenue onto two of the busiest main roads in Clitheroe, and at the north end onto a veritable death-trap. -Parents had and have every
reason to expect that their children would be safe “up the backs” as far as the “old laundry.” This nothing less
than wildcat scheme cuts right into the route o f . Pendle School children in their daily visits to and from their foot ball field, which was acquired specially for the purpose by the county, council. If there is any truth in the
report that the county council has purchased a four-yard
strip of land alongside the brook behind the “laundry,’’ with a view to making a path to the playing field, I would respectfully advise them to re-examine this quagmire and inspect the brook when , it floods in winter—as a result both of natural drainage and of effluent from the quarries above. The bridge which once used
to span the brook to take Pendle Junior School children
to Pimlico Road had to be abandoned many years ago as

Cavalier’ New bus stop ‘dangerous’
BY instructing drivers to stop- at the bottom' of Eaves Hall Lane, West Bradford, to pick up or drop passengers, Ribble Motor Services is endangering lives, particularly those of
children. This stop is right at the
; .’HERE is an air of.unreality ; n the proceedings of the ; . liable Valley Borough Coun- ’ _-il when the problems of } housing are under discussion. Two years ago, the
; Clitheroe Borough Council . was provided with a list of upwards of SO empty houses
- in ;he borough, some of which had been empty for over five
v years. The Labour group on the
- council had called for a 50 per ; cent rating on houses which i had been empty for over one I year and, where there was no . haste on the part of the absentee owners to sell or

park. The tenant assures me that
this was a dangerous piece of road before Ribble buses used it and there have already been one or two accidents involving buses. I myself have had two grandchildren knocked down on the Waddington to West
Bradford road. RESPONSIBILITY
Apart from the terrible
danger, I would point out that when a bad accident happens, and happen it will, the driver, of the bus will be totally responsible because he is classified in court as a profes sional driver and must act in a
proper manner. That is unless Ribble
Motors will accept responsibil ity because one of its emp loyees has issued these
orders. This service used, to reach
West Bradford via Pimlico. But now it comes through Waddington and it is this change that has caused the problem. I am sure my views are
shared by West Bradford Parish Council and by all the mothers in the village. K. W. CRAGG Secretary TGWU, 16 Grindleton Road, West Bradford
Commented Ribble’s Dis
request by the Trades Council were extended from the inn, for the local authority to
trict Superintendent, Coun. Leo Wells: “drivers have been asked to pick up intend ing passengers at that point because that is where people had chosen to wait. If the 30 mph speed limit
the question would then arise of discussions with the police about the siting of an official bus stop.” Coun. Wells suggested
that anyone with comments about the present picking-up point should make their views known, in writing, to
Ribble. ALL

LESSON IN HISTORY
FORMER Clitheroe Borough Surveyor Mr J. N. Bell spoke on “The romance of heraldry” to members of Trinity Methodist Women’s Fellow ship, illustrating his talk with shields and coats of arms of families and.local authorities. He explained how puns
were made on family names and spoke of the historical significance of coats of arms, often granted for services rendered to the Sovereign. . Although many of the audi
ence had long forgotten their school history lessons, Mr Bell held their attention by deliv ering his talk with enthusiasm
and simplicity. Mrs J. Wilkinson presided and gave the vote of thanks.
Conditional discharge
FOR stealing goods worth 49p from a Clitheroe supermar ket, Mrs Mary McCally, of Valley View, Grindleton, was granted a conditional dis charge for two years by Clitheroe magistrates. Mr W. D. Greenwood,
defending, said his client had been feeling the pressure of personal problems at the time, and could not say why she had taken a pantie set and a tube of toothpaste, as she had the money to pay for them.

Clitheroe? Have the education
authorities at Rishton found a buyer for ‘The
Tu.irets” or is
the Ribble Valley a more, salubrious neighbourhood—or indeed is it a case of jobs for the boys? What about a bit of economy? It is fully time those of us
who live in Clitheroe got some warning of what this changed administration is lumbering us with, instead of just being presented with a fait accompli. This is something worthy of
our County Councillor’s efforts and the attention and action of our MP.
