' So what about Blackpool? Sjown party, as I write, has st to appear, so I cannot jtdict much about its likely Zjrformance. Inevitably I feel Isay be rather muted, inter- st being concentrated on the list day when Margaret Ihtcher will make her first Btch as Leader. Bat I do know, however, itlat the Conservative rank

full well that the public, which means from his point of view the floating voter, does not want the sort of Britain post­ ulated by many of his alleged supporters.


He also knows that many of i


them don’t want him, but someone much more militant, so therefore plays it safe with every word and utterance, if he appears to lambast the Left then he must appear to lambaat the Right also. What his tru e sentiments are remains a puzzle, perhaps even to himself.

WHEN four old people’s bungalows were built by Clitheroe Rural District Council in Green Bank, Whalley, residents in the area were assured many times that a narrow unmade access road from King Street to the back road would be properly surfaced. But that was nine years


ago, and the road, which is pitted with deep potholes and frequently flooded, is both angering and worrying resi­ dents who have to use it. The bungalows are at pre­


sen t occupied by elderly ladies, some of whom are not in good health and have to walk with the aid of a stick.


For them, attempting to man­ oeuvre round the potholes is a nightmare. If the work is to be carried


the bill. As an unadopted road, the


cost would presumably have to be shared. The Ribbie Val­ ley Council owns the biggest portion of land, having the bungalows and garages. The rest belongs to the Post Office telephone exchange, whose vehicles have to use the access road, the doctors, who are in the same position, the dentist on King Street and the resi­ dents whose properties back on to the road. Mr Jim Holden, clerk to

land. Green Bank backs on to the


bungalows and several houses in King Street, leading out into King Street between the dentist’s surgery and the home of Mr Robert Chew and his wife Edna. Apart from being very con­


cerned for her elderly neigh­ bours, Mrs Chew has to put up with water systematically being splashed up the side of the house every time a vehicle goes down the narrow entr­ ance, and now dampness is coming through into the

used by pedestrians but has its fair share of traffic. Doc­ tors and patients have to drive through to get to the surgery car* park at the end of the block, there are three resi­ dents’ garages near the bun­ galows, and post office vehi­ cles go to and from the new exchange. •Residents from Riddings


Lane and The Grove, off Mit- ton Road, use Green Bank as a


short cut to the village. Mrs Chew says the potholes


are just as dangerous when there is no water and she is concerned that some elderly person will have a serious fall, before something is done. Rubbish has been tipped


into the holes by council work­ men, says Mrs Chew, but they were soon empty again.


FED UP


The Parish Council, the RDC and latterly the Ribbie Valley Council have all inspected the holes at some time and sym­ pathised, but still nothing had


been done. If repairing the road would

Those who want Britain to leave NATO, which has pre­ served peace in Europe for a quarter of a century, and link up with some unspecified alliance somewhere else. Now, as I have said, the

entitled to wonder if they will always win. Entitled also to speculate and be worried. For who decides policy, Mr Healey or Mr Heffer? The Govern­ ment, the TUC or the Labour Party Executive? Entitled also to ask if the


extremists are “their sort of people” and why and how they can exercise so much influence


in what has up to now been a democratic and moderate political party. We do not have to look very


far outside this island to find examples of the “silent major­ ity," the moderate majority being cajoled, bullied or th re a ten ed by extremist' minorities. Moderate men and women


in the Labour Party would be fools to be complacent over their victory at Blackpool, or indeed the state of their party. Either in private or on show to the public.

TRUTEX RAPPED OVER SHARES DEAL


says that a number of share purchases were carried out by people living in the vicinity of the Trutex Grindleton head­ quarters, "and it appears that,' unbeknown to the Trutex directors or their advisers, th e r e had been strong rumours circulating among people directly or indirectly connected with the company, that a bid was imminent."

inquiries, “it appears that Tootal maintained the approp­ riate security throughout the negotiations.” However, the statement


continued: “The panel is unable to reach tho same con­ c lu s io n w ith regard to Trutex." The panel’s findings follow


an investigation by the Stock Exchange, which was alerted by signs of a rise in activity in


Trutex shares. The Stock E xchange


probed the dealings made before the announcement as the end of October of the Tootal offer for the whole of the issued share capital of


TYutex. The terms of the offer were


58p cash a share for the Trutex equity. The total value of the Tootal bid was £2.6m and the offer was accepted by Trutex. A f t e r th e ta k e o v e r


announcement Trutex shares jumped 28p to 54p. However, throughout October the Trutex share had remained virtually static at 26p. The Panel concludes that

there is not sufficient evi­ dence to suggest that anyone was guilty of a breach of the insider dealing code, but says that Trutex did not adequat- ley observe the strict require­ ments of absolute security during bid negotiations.
