GRANT FOR PLAYING FIELD


CHATBURN has received a “gentleman’s agreement” that the Ribble Valley Council will grant a fifth of the money needed for new changing


facilities oil the village playing fields. Chatburn's Ribble Valley'


Council representative, Conn. H. E. Boden, told the Recrea­ tion and Leisure Committee that the village had already raised £1,500, and hoped to have £2,000 for the project’s planned start in May.


The council's quantity sur­


veyor calculated the total cost at £7,625. But by pruning “certain extras" tins figure could be brought clown to £7,000, said Coun. Boden.


Deputy treasurer Mr Leslie


Pickering said the council was in a cleft stick at present, as they did not yet know their allocation for 76/77.


However, Coun. Boden said


he would settle for a rough idea at this time. The chair­ man, Coun. John Blackburn, said the village had the com­ mittee’s gentleman’s agree­ ment that they would get their money.
