Village industry scheme follow up


PROSPECTS of attracting light industry to Chipping and Gisburri are to be pursued further by the Ribble Valley Council.


Members of the authority’s


Planning and Transportation Committee agreed to forward to the Rural Development


Commission its case for entic­ ing small firms to the villages.. The decision follows a pub­


lic meeting at Chipping, when residents were mainly in favour of the idea and consul­ tations with Gisburn Parish Council which also supp ’ the scheme. R e s e r v a t i o n s w e re


expressed about the Chippingl scheme by Coun. Tom Rush- ton (Clitheroe) at Tuesday’s meeting. He felt that the vil­ lage already had its own industry — the' chair works. But Chief Architect and Plan­ ning Officer Mr Charles Wil­ son replied that diversifica­ tion of industry would be wel­ come. Any development


MP seeks more aid


THE “disappointing” amount granted by 'the Government fo r farm modernisation schemes was raised in Parlia­ ment last week by Clitheroe D ivision MP Mr David Walder. Mr Gavin Strang, Par­


liamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, told him that the total grant in 1974 was £83.2m. This included grants under the farm capital grant schemes 1970 to 1973, the horticulture capital grant schemes 1973, and the Farm and Horticulture Develop­ ment Regulations 1973. Mr Walder replied: “Is the


Minister aware that that figure is inevitably disap­ pointing, bearing in mind the effect of inflation on farmers, and of course the decline in the value of money? “How does he square that


with the objectives set out in his own White Paper?” Mr Strang answered that it


was hoped the uptake of grants would considerably increase after simplifications in the conditions for the Farm and Horticulture Develop­ ment Scheme. The conditions, which were


“bureaucratic”, were required as a result of entry into the EEC, and the Ministry was seeking to simplify them.


would be on a small scale—> the intention was not to trans­ form Chipping into an indust­ r ia l a re a . “ The aim is threefold,” he said, “Firstly it is to create new jobs, secondly to promote new housing and thirdly to improve' the envi­ ronment.


Committee chairman Coun.


Clifford Chatburn (Clitheroe) commented that similar devel- opment plans were being instigated throughout the country. “The point of such development is to keep these villages viable,” he said.


C o u n . R u sh to n com­


plimented the planning staff on the quality of the document outlining the council’s case, which will now be forwarded to the Development Commis sion.


Youth in razor attack


A CLITHEROE labourer


almost died after being slashed on the neck with a cut-throat razor in a town-centre fight, Clitheroe Juvenile Panel was


told. Appearing before them was


a 16-year-old Colne youth who denied maliciously wounding Anthony Stevenson (18), of Whipp Avenue, with intent to cause grievous bodily harm; having an offensive weapon and u s in g th r e a te n in g behaviour. The youth was found guilty


and committed in custody to Crown Court for sentence, with a recommendation for borstal training. Presenting the case Mr W.


D. Greenwood said Anthony Stevenson had gone to help one of his friends who was being attacked by two youths. As the fight progressed the Colne youth was' seen bran­ dishing the razor at Stevenson who was badly cut on the neck. The wound, which was


about two inches long and half an inch deep, almost cost Stevenson his life, added Mi- Greenwood. The other youth involved in


the attack had already been found guilty of a number of offences at Clitheroe and had been committed to Crown Court for sentence where he received a total of two years' imprisonment, it was stated.

lor Fell was not conscious of any altruistic motive in mak­ ing his suggestion. He was merely recognising the facts as they then stood and now stand, and trying to apply a little commonsense to the situ­ ation — a quality so uncom­ mon that possibly your corres­ pondent failed to recognise it. What are the facts? They are as follows: 1. The records are NOT the .

This would seem to be a worthy idea for the Ribble Valley Council to be bold enough to do . the same to the NWAA, saving some a dm in i s t r a t iv e c o s ts thereby and starting long overdue economies.

Trials of finding a place to live


Clitheroe? I have been trying to find


another flat for the past three months without success. I would prefer to buy a house, but the ones in my price range are not in a good enough con­ dition for me to obtain a mort- , gage.


In desperation I rang the


housing department and was laughingly told by a member of the staff to "find a rich sea captain who was away 10 months of the year”! How amusing, you may think, until you are on the receiving end of this indifference.


I can’t be the only young


person to have applied for council accommodation so it would be interesting to know what others have been told.


I can appreciate the housing


problem, but do unmarried mothers and divorcees have to come first ALL the time.


Mr Hartford (Housing Man­


ager) told me that it was easier for a single person to go for bed and breakfast than a married couple with children, but this doesn’t make much sense. I can’t afford £2 a night fo r bed and b re ak fa s t , whereas a married couple with children will have it paid for them by the Social Ser­ vices.


I t is a ludicrous situation at


the moment but if this letter make s ju s t one council member think, then maybe in the future there will be a- chance that myself and people like me will be taken into con­ sideration. But please, make it soon — I don’t know any sea captains!

Gordon- Onslow, who is in overall charge of the housing department, said that a nearly completed housing: survey indicated a need for single-person accommoda­ tion in the Clitheroe area and it was hoped the situa­ t io n could be somewhat alleviated in the future. C om m e n t in g on th e


inquiry, Mr Onflow said: “I believe that the lady in ques­ tion was bantering with the clerk to whom she spoke and he replied in the same light­ hearted vein. He did express to the lady that anyone try­ ing to find single-person a c c om m o d a t io n in the Clitheroe area was in a desp­ erate situation.

has to park on the double yellow lines situated between the pillar box .and the news­ paper shop. On inspection, this is where the road is at its


narrowest. Vehicles having to pass are


th e r fo re forced onto the wrong side of the road as they approach the bend and across the herring bone road mark­ ings. This, to my mind, can


. cause a very dangerous situa­ tion, especially when a vehicle is travelling in the opposite direction. The alternative to passing is


to form a stationary queue behind the bus, which, in turn, causes a conglomerate of vehicles around the round­


about. We must presume, how­


them would actually earn less for overtime than they do now. It is not surprising then that they should make some form of protest. I agree that I do not like to


see such highly-skilled people having to “strike” for their


claim. But how many of Britain’s


“workers” will work for more than 100 hours a week without being paid at least double time for anything over 40 hours. If Mrs Whiteside had lis­


tened a little more to the actual facts and less to the propaganda of the news,-she would have heard that all the junior hospital doctors on strike are on call for any emergency involving more than eight to 10 casualties from one accident. I assure you that they are

EXAM COST


I WONDER how many parents realise that they have to . pay £2.75 for every GCE examination their child takes, if he is also taking CSE in the same subject. We have never had any offi­

ever, that this school stop has th e blessing of the local authorities at county and dis­ trict levels, as what happens has been observed many times by the local police authorities. We can conclude from this observation that the situation does not contain any element of danger in the eyes of the consenting authorities, since as yet no accidents have


occurred. However, it would seem


safer to move the school bus stop to a safer location, where it will not impede traffic flow in narrow road sections. Since road safety is one of


the main essentials for survi­ val in this modern age, Would i t not be be tte r for the authorities to set an example for the children in planned t ra f f ic movements where safety is the key ingredient, rather than an example which could result in death and


injury? 11 m u s t s u r e l y 'b e


appreciated by the authorities that prevention of accidents is th e prime factor in road safety. Also .it is considered by the various pundits that all accidents are caused by lack of awareness and over familiar­ ity. But in this case we can add bad local governmental planning. If on the other hand, an


accident does occur, who will be responsible — the drivers of the vehicles involved, the bus company or the local authorities? We all realise that an acci­


dent could alter the complete life-style of those involved, especially the schoolchildren who might have to witness a traumatic event. Let us there­ fore, in all things, put safety first.
