The desire of the County Council, as far as Social Services is concerned, is to ensure ready access to conveniently places . social work teams and its policy has been to establish them in the centre of the community, where there is reasonable access for public transport and facilities for social work­ ers and the public with per­ sonal social problems.

In general terms, the County Social Services Department is anxious to strengthen its links with those of the community who need help and locally-based officers are one way of achieving this. In deciding the location of an office, regard must be paid to cost, availability of sites, and access by the public, and the final position is sometimes a compromise.

In the short term, however, the commun­ ity is demanding locally based services to be freely available, and I would suggest this is one of the reasons why the County Council, in consultation, with local interests, is proposing to establish a temporary office site behind Pimlico Road.

Poultry farmers being 6 sold down river 5


A PLEA for local egg producers — and housewives — to support the national movement against the import of eggs from France was made this week by a Waddington poultry farmer. Mr Jeffrey Hoyle, of Heal- “Shoppers ahould ask to see

I am also seeking information regarding the Morris dance, solo clog or step dancing, clog dancing exhibitions and championship dancing com­ petitions. I would like to hear from anyone who did dog jumping or who knows about it.


Show pride ^


WE now have a successful tourists’ advice office in Clitheroe and it seems that the town is to become a tourist


area. May I, therefore, point out


two things which would make me think twice about visiting the town. The first is the landscaped areas, which are a downright disgrace. In Whal­ ley Road for instance, the areas are more like giant rubbish tips, and the bushes and plants that have been placed there look as if they fell off the back of a dust-cart. Whalley Road is not the


only blot on Clitheroe, but it is a particularly shameful dis­ grace, as an entrance to our


town. My second point is the


problem of roaming dogs and fouled footpaths. It is time Clitheroe employed a dog


warden. The problem is par­ ticularly acute on our new estates, and I am amazed at the'number of people who call themselves dog-lovers, yet permit their dogs to roam day in, day out. Such people should not keep


dogs. A dog warden (as is being proved in Hyndburn District) ensures that people, who look after their dogs, are allowed to keep them. Will some brave councillor please carry on where Derek Akker left off. Let’s make Clitheroe a clean and tidy town — a pleasure to live in and to visit.

Bus stop to be

A PROPOSAL to move the existing bus stop away from the bottom of Eaves Hall Lane on the West Bradford- Waddir.gton route will be put to Lancashire County Council. ; After a site meeting bet­ ween representatives of Rib­


ble Motors, the police and the County Highways Depart-, ment, it was agreed that the present arrangement was unsuitable. The stop will be moved 40 '•


yards on the Waddington side of Eaves Hall Lane, provided that the land comes under the authority of the highways department. The dispute over the siting


of the stop arose when Mr :: Ken Cragg, secretary of the . Clitheroe branch of the Trans- : port and General Workers’ : Union described it as a danger to pedestrians and drivers.
