ment had been allowed because it fitted within an already built-up frontage. Mr L. N. Tebay, of the


regional highways depart­ ment, said that a house on the site would affect the free flow of traffic on the main road. Even though access to the house would be through the garage forecourt, vehicle? cal­ ling at the site could cause congestion on the A59. The inquiry was conducted by Mr E. Batchelor, an

Blackburn Co-op says to


‘no’ merger


THE proposed formation of a g r e a t e r Lancastria Co­ operative Society, including the Clitheroe area branches, has been decisively rej'ected.


The proposal — to combine


the present Blackburn, Bol­ ton, Wigan, and Lancastria societies — was defeated by 370 to 59 at a meeting in Blackburn. y-


' The merger scheme would


have produced the sixth largest retail branch in the country' comprising 346,000 members, with annual sales of £70m.


The Blackburn Society’s “ thumbs down” decision


. comes not long after the Wigan and Bolton members approved the idea. The out­ come of the Lancastria vote is now academic..

Joke went wrong, court is told m


A “JOKE that went wrong”, led to the appearance at Clitheroe Magistrates’ Court of two youths accused of stealing a chewing-gum. machine.’ “• : -


John Thomas Murphy (17),


of Sweethill Road, Southwell, Dorset, 'was’- jointly sum^ moned with a Clitheroe youth • who was remanded .to appear at -the juvenile court yes­ terday.1 : Chief - Insp. T. J.- Sumnqr ■ said the youths were seen car­ rying - the machine from the cafe at the Edisford Recrea­ tion Centre. It was later found smashed


on .the footpath near the pitch and putt course. Tho packets' of chewing-gum were on the. ground but the cash contetits-. were missing. Police later interviewed Murphy, who was on holiday in Clitheroe.; In 'a statement Murphy said he had helped to. carry tho machine away as a joke, but there was never meant to be any damago. It had cost £10 to repair the


machine from which £5 had been removed, said Chief Inspector Sumner. ■ Mr J. L. Lumley (defend­


ing) asked the court to treat the incident as a joke on the cafe proprietor that went wrong. • '


• “Although Murphy and the


juvenile moved the machine, they were not responsible for the damage,” said Mr Lumley., They had been to the river with a crowd of other youths and there were-many more involved who would aiot be appearing in court.” The magistrates condition-:


ally discharged Murphy to be of good behaviour for one year. They also ordered him to pay £7.50 — half the restitution.
