A multi-purpose day centre


in the town centre would also be required in the same period, the committee heard from the .County estates surveyor. ■


■ ■ The projects were included


in a report designed to form the b^is of a pkuiining brief to the Ribble .Valley Council.

A scheme appointing people throughout the Ribble Valley to spot Dutch elm disease in its early stages has been such a success that Lanca­ shire County Council is recommending- the Association of Parish Councils to try it in other areas. •


- Twenty-four local spotters were praised for their


vigilance in helping to keep the disease under control when they were informallv received by the Ribble Valley


Mayor and Mayoress, Coun. and Mrs Fred Green, in the Mayor’s Parlour. Their work is still vital, for the disease, which struck


in the Chatbiun- area in the summer, has now been spotted on the south side of 'Waddington Fell, where 120 trees belonging to 60 owners are affected..- -The reception was attended, by Parks Superinten­
