THE Director General of the Jewellers’ Association has reported that visitors to the Swiss Industries Fair at Basle were most impressed by the Ribble Valley Council’s civic regalia which was on display there, the Mayor, Coun. Fred Singleton, told the Ribble Val­ ley Council.


THE public is to be invited to help shape, the future of comprehen­ sive education in the Ribble Valley within the framework of a new plan to ultimately establish two mixed schools of equal size and academic standards. Utilising the Ribblesdale and Girls’ Grammar School buildings, the schools will cater for the 11 to 18-year-olds.

This replaces a previous But it is unlikely that the . , ■


new plan will come into opera­ tion before 1978, because of th e considerable extensions which will be needed at Chat- burn Road. The new plan has been

Gafe will close for repairs to suspect beams


CLITHEROE’S Market Cafe is to close for a fort­ night so that remedial work can be carried out'on concrete beams containing suspect high alumina


cement. The cafe, closed by the Rib­


ble Valley Council for safety tests for a short time at the end of last year, is tenanted by Mr John Tyson, of Chat- b um .Road, Clitheroe. Said Mr Tyson: “We will


close from May-19th to June. 2nd, although the actual alter­ ations will only take a week. During the other week we will be redecorating, installing some new equipment and-gen- erally reorganising the work­ ing system in the cafe.-;'. Our idea is to improve the


service, giving customers a quick, cheap meal in comfort­ able surroundings,” explained Mr Tyson. The remedial work on the


15-year-old .cafe — the only public building in ■ Clitheroe which contains high alumina cement — will be paid for by th e Ribble Valley Council, which owns the building.

in the early days of this pro­ test was that the sewerage charge was very unfair. This decision would seem to be a step in the right direction. But until the appeal has been heard it is not safe to say that there will be no change in the decision.”


Bowland ratepayers have


not, however, been with­ holding any part of their rates payments as have some mem­ bers of the National Associa­ tion of Ratepayers’ Action Group elsewhere in the coun­ try. Explained Mr Lilbum: “Our attitude has never been to take a militant line. We feel that we are having enough success by persuasion and the


outcome of this case serves to underline that.”


a sure r . M r . Gordon Onslow emphasised that foUowing the court case the council was “in limbo” over the sewerage rate question. He explained: “The situation now is that we can take no action a t all. We can­ not coUect the sewerage rate, neither ■ can we refund any money already paid. We have ■just got to wait until- the appeal is settled.”
