taken to cope with vandalism, Mr Callaghan stresses that the problem of rising crime is not unique to the United Kingdom and he assures the council that the Government is not complacent. ‘By d e v e lo p in g th e '

Axe for village school


-THE tiny St John’s CE Prim­ ary School at Hurst Green has been recommended for clo­ sure by a county- council sub­ committee. Closure notices were prop­


osed for the school and four others in Lancashire at Tues­ day’s meeting of the Schools Sub-Committee.


. Parents can object to the decision by making direct rep­ resentations to the Scretary of State for Education. A decision on whether to


serve , a closure notice on Pendleton and Mearley CE Primary School was deferred by the sub-committee. The cost of running such a


small school as St John’s and th e n um b e r of te a c h e r s needed in relation to the pupils were two of the main reasons for the decision. But a letter from the mana­


gers of the school made it plain that they did not support the idea. They felt it would be “exceedingly undesirable.” The letter said: “I t is much


easier to foster a community spirit and create an attitude of caring for others if primary education takes place in the com m u n ity where people live.”

THE funeral took place on M o n d a y , of 3 8 -y e a r -o ld Clitheroe hotelier Mr David Pendlebury, who died last week.


Mr Pendlebury, married


with two children, was a part­ ner with his father Fred at the White Lion Hotel. Among those at the funeral were rep­ re sen ta tiv e s of the Ribble Valley Football League and the Sports Council, who held , regular meetings at the hotel.


Mr Pendlebury was born in


Clitheroe and attended SS Michael and John’s School and Ribblesdale. He first worked as an engineer at Thornber’s Mill, Clitheroe. Four years ago, he moved to the hotel witri his wife Edna and chil­ dren Joanne (10) and Martin (seven).


Cremation was at Accring­


ton, where a service was con- d u c te d by th e Vicar, of Clith e ro e, th e Rev. John Hudson.

for the dance, at Longridge Civic Hall; which ' will be attended by -the -Mayors and Mayoresses of the'Ribble Val­ ley, Clitherbc and Longridgo.


THE entire Ribble Val­ ley Council- Planning


'Committee is visiting Upbrooks tonight to see for itself the controver­ sial seven-acre site the Council has ear-marked for industrial develop­


ment. The visit follows a meeting at which angry residents fropi n e a rb y Salthill Road and Uprooks put the case against factories near their homes to councillors and officials. • Residents Action Group


member Mr Jeffrey Monk this week told the Advertiser and Times: “We want the Planning Committee to . postpone a decision on the s ite until A u tum n , when everyone should know what the alterna­ tives are.”


' This autumn the public is to


be consulted on the future of e a s te rn Clith e ro e , which includes .Salthill and Uprooks, during the 'preparation of a new Clitheroe development plan.

was given at the meeting as to why th e proposed develop­ ment should take place at Upbrooks and not in more suitable areas.” The report says that finance

: In a letter with his appliea- '

to pull, sort and-pack the pro­ duct seasonally, and when in full production a limited per­ manent labour force would be employed.

' ’ The council, however, was,


not happy about'the-applica­ tion being submitted before they had seen the fruits of Mr Corbit’s labours. In a report, Chief Architect- and Planning Officer /M r Charles Wilson said: “If normal policy is fol­ lowed, planning permission could not be contemplated, until the applicant has started working the holding and his proved that his ideas have been genuine and viable fi om' an agricultural point of view ” He told the committee than


the land in question was only small and it would be difficult for an agricultural living to be made there. Coun. Geoffrey Ainsworth (Salesbury) said no one could make a living off 15 acres,' not even growing rhubarb. As it turned out, Mr Cor­


bit’s plan was not to 'reach f ru i t io n . The 'comm itte e turned down his application because at present it is purely on the basis of an intention to work the ,holdings. , Coun. Bill Fleming (Billing-

Motor-cyclist fined £50


A 22-YEA‘R-OLD Clitheroe man was banned from driving | under the- totting-up system by C l ith e ro e Magistrates when he admitted two motor­ cycle offences. David Garner, of Carlton Place, was fined £40 and dis­


qualified for six months for using a motor-cycle in York S t re e t , Clitheroe, without insurance and £10 for failing to produce his driving licence. Garner told the court he had


thought he was covered by his own insurance when he rode a friend’s motor-cycle. He found later, however,


that his policy had been can­ celled. He did not produce his licence a t a police station within five days as he had been out of the area.
