No fishing at Stocks


,tf artgfers T; Robert


A gliiiferoe man this week hit out at the North West Water Authority for its continued refusal to allow, fishing at Stocks Reservoir on - the grounds o f security and because the steep banks


w ou ld be- dangerous to anglers. But 62-year-old Mr Robert


W ^ h considers the authority is just looking for excuses —


particularly as it allows its own employees to fish for trout in the reservoir. Mr Walsh, of Garnett Road,


liGN TER


JTIC


has for years taken an interest in the' proposal to open up Stocks as a recreation area. But this, he has been told in a letter from the authority, is tied up with the r^ in g of the dam. Work on that was supposed to start this year but has again been delayed


because of the economic situa­ tion. Mr W a lsh , who n ex t


weekend retires as a driving instructor, ar^es that there could be strict vetting of anglers using Stocks and suggests that a charge of £5 could be made for permits. “ If everyone was restricted


to fly fishing there would be no danger of pollution from pieces of bait,” he said. “The authority is worried


|)L


about security and the poMi- bility of someone poisoning the water, but it flows through a filter plant so there is no danger of . that.”


INFORMATION A factor which annoys Mr K K


Walsh is that employees of the water authority are allowed to fish there. “They have had the fishing to themselves in the past and that is the way they want to keep it,” he says. But according to NWWA


official Mr K. Whiteside the fishing is being done for one reason only — to compile information on the type of fish and their growth rate. Only members of the Stocks


Angling Club, of which Mr Whiteside is secretary, are permitted to fish there. They must be employees of the water authority and cannot bring guests. “ In fact they are a c t in g as unpaid water bailiffs,” said Mr Whiteside. He told our reporter that


the reservoir was totally unsuitable at the moment for public angling. It is bordered by earth


banks and in wet weather these become slippery and very dangerous. At points the


reservoir is 30 to 40 feet deep and there could be an aca- dent. There was also the problem


of security and the fact ^ t there were no toilet fadhties or regular patrols — both of which would be necessary. When the money became


available, said Mr Whiteside, the banks would be made safer, toilet facilities instal­ led, and angling and sailing would be allowed.

controversial bits of le^ la - tion as possible — in order to fill Parliamentary time, but not to put the Government in any danger of being beaten on a vote in any important issue. Of course, apart from a


limited allowance of debating time, “Supply Days,” given to the Opposition parties, the Government sets the timet-


able of the House of Commons. Therefore, the


present pussyfoot tactics are a tremendous admission of failure by Mr Callaghan and his Cabinet. They are still reeling from


their defeat over the applica­ tion of the guillotine to the Devolution Bill. They obvi­ ously now cannot make up their minds whether to try to g e t that very unpopular - measure through the House, to let it die a lingering death, or be brave and outspoken and simply announce that it is dead already. Obviously now the votes of the Scottish Nationalists,


previously grudgingly given to a Government which they thought would produce what they wanted, can no longer be relied upon. Thus the mathematics for a


minority Government are made v e ry unattractive indeed. At the moment there are three by-elections pend­ ing, all in the previously held Laljour seats of Stechford, Ashfield and Grimsby. A defeat of the Government in these circumstances would obviously not be classed as a real defeat. A different situa­ tion applies, however, when those by-elections have been fought, especially if the most vulnerable, the late Mr Cros- land’s seat, is won by the


Ckinservatives. Then the (kjvernment, at

least on paper, could be defeated in the House of Commons, if ail opposition parties combine, by one vote. The question is, will that


happen, and if so, when? We now have a Government


under notice to quit, its policies having even failed to produce the results promised to its own ardent supporters. How, though, will that notice be enforced?


First of all, a Government


must be defeated on a major issue. It is no good the Opposi­ tion waving its Order Papers and shouting “resign” when the Guinea Pig Licensing (Temporary Provisions) Bill has failed on Second Reading. D e fen ce , employment,


rumours of a longer Easter holiday — another week away from Westminster, where we can cause trouble. It seems fairly certain, too,


that the Labour Party will not do well, to put it mildly, in the forthcoming local government elections — another argument which will be used at Trans­ port House to persuade the Prime Minister to hang on, even by his fingernails, to what remains of his last vestiges of power.


BUSY


nationalisation, finance —^ these are the sort of questions on which, if defeated, a


Government would then have to seek a vote of confidence, and, if it lost that, go to the country. Finance is the keyn­ ote, because if the House of Commons refuses to give the Government the money to carry out its policies, then that Government must resign.


CONFIDENCE The long stop, though, is


the vote of confidence and when we consider that, we have to start thinking about which parties and which indi­ viduals want a general elec­ tion and in what circumst­


ances. Plainly the Conservative


Party would welcome one tomorrow, of course it would inherit a most difficult situa­ tion, of course it could not promise to rectifjr all the damage even in the life of one Parliament. Nevertheless, to begin would be welcome. Second in enthusiasm, now,


come the Scot Nats. Deprived o f devolutionary measures, they are now convinced, rightly or wrongly, that they would sweep their own coun-


' try at the polls. Plaid Cymru limps behind, but I suspect, as little love is lost between themselves and Labour in Wales, would not overstrain themselves to maintain Mr Callaghan in office. A great deal, then, depends


upon Ulster Unionists and the Liberal Party. Among the Irishmen the real question is what influence Mr Enoch Powell still exercises. Impel­ led by what combination of motives I cannot begin to fathom, he still seems to be mo re favourable to the Labour Party in office than to his own former colleagues. - Within the Ulster Unionists


I would say that his authority is waning, but in the tight circumstances of the coming summer, a handful of votes, or even one, could be enough to hold the balance. Finally, the Liberals. To


say that their enthusiasm for an election is lukewarm is to use the wrong end of the ther­ mometer. David Steele is a nice man, but as a leader scarcely charismatic. With Britain in crisis. Liberal policies, even when distinctly identifiable, appear irrelev­ ant. At bedrock, who would c a r e to "p r e d ic t which Parliamentary seats the Liberals, with a .trail of lost deposits at recent by-elections behhid them, would actually


be likely to win? S o , o f c o u r s e , Mr


Callaghan, though in private in desperation, maintains his avuncular smile and tries to


keep us all quiet. There have even-been


Government can keep things quiet, can attempt, in fact, not te govern, is another ques­ t io n . Cynically, I must observe that no doubt the Prime Minister welcomes the fact that this year is jubilee


How long, however, a


year. Party strife, for a week or s will be stOIed and the


Queen’s progress through the land cannot be interrupted by election candidates shouting abuse at each other with loudspeakers. After that, though, even if


o.


we get a long summer holiday as well, I suspect October will be a busy month. However welcome, we cannot have many more quiet weeks like this one. Nero was only able to fiddle for a day.

An evening of song


PUPILS studying at the Manchester School of Music, the Northern College of Music and the Cheetham School, ;oined for an entertaining evening of classical music in St M a ry ’ s Parish Hall, Clitheroe, on Saturday. The concert, which capti­


vated an audience of 200, was arranged by music teacher Sylvia Forbes on behalf of the


Qitheroe NFU ladies’ section. Mrs Forbes is a friend of


committee member J f c Hilda Taylor, who along with presi­ dent Mrs Eileen Spurgeon helped organise the evening. Entitled “Music for you,”


the concert featured songs and piano, cello and violin works. Funds raised will be distributed to charity at the end of the year.
