Youngsters enjoy


TocH holiday


A GROUP of three girls and two boys from Clitheroe were among the 39 youngs­ ters at the Toe H. purpose- built holiday centre at Rhyl, last week.


The holiday was part of . vii


the Toe H. nation-wide prog­ ramme of play schemes and holidays. The Clitheroe contingent joined in an enjoyable programme which ranged from sun-bathing on the beach to visiting a moun­ tain zoo.

Improvements to the A59


HAVING been consulted by Lancashire County Council r e g a r d in g p r o p o s e d improvements to the A59 road between Preston and th e Yorkshire b order , Ribble Valley Council have made four suggestions which they believe deserve priority.


These are the provision of


“a proper turning facility” at Pimlico Link Road junction (a modest item which would reduce traffic through Chat- bum) and bypasses at Mellor Brook, Gisbum and Copster Green. An improved high­ way from the Petre Aims roundabout to Salesbury and dual lanes on the Whalley- C l i th e r o e b y p a s s are suggested for longer-term action.

Good progress at Upbrooks


WORK on the first phase of industrial development at Upbrooks, Clitheroe, is expected to be completed by the end of August.


Walk

A PARTY of local young people completed a spon­ sored walk round and over Pendle at the weekend to help deprived children.


They raised more than


£100 towards the mainte­ nance costs of J. Mobile — th e m in ib u s used by Clitheroe man Mr Fred Cowperthwaite to take deprived youngsters on holiday. Six of the walkers are

Helpers wanted


PAINTERS and decorators, p ro fe ssional or willing volunteers, are invited to help with the work of brigh­ tening up Clitheroe Parish Church. The Vicar (the Rev. John


Hudson) writes in the current parish magazine; “Starting straight after the holiday fortnight, anyone who can lend a hand will gladly be found a job — morning, afternoon or night!”


The Ribble Valley Coun- ell’s Planning and Transpor­


tation Committee was told that roads and sewers to serve three sites opposite N e o te ch n ic have been completed and work is now being carried out on instal­ ling electricity, gas and water supplies. Chief Assistant Planning


Officer Mr Peter Johnston reported that the biggest of the three sites, measuring 1.5 acres, has been offered to E n g l ish In dus tr ia l Estates. He said terms had been


agreed at £33,360 which meant that the council’s spending on the site had been recouped in full. Mr Johnston said negotia­


tions were continuing with interested parties for the sale of the other two sites. After hearing the news of


the first phase completion date, the committee consi­ dered a '37-page report containing proposals for further industrial develop­ ment at Upbrooks. The report set out various


courses of action open to the council and theoretical costing. Members were told that


one of the reasons for the introduction of the report was a request by Dugdale’s, the Clitheroe commillers, for a new site on which to expand. And as a first step the


committee agreed to invite an outline planning applica­ tion from Dugdale’s for development on one of the sites suggested in the report


— Bellman Quarry. The committee also asked


the officers to draw up an outline application for the first section of a road from Pimlico link road to the proposed Dugdale site. But Coun. John Troop


(Clitheroe) said he thought the committee ought not to make too many decisions too quickly.


’ He said: “ In considering


this we must walk not run — there is too much at stake to louse it up.” And Coun. Troop said he

take in the views and watch farmers haymaking, they were whisked to 'Waddow Hall for a turkey and salad supper.

3 CASTLE s t r e e t ! CLITHEROE


Tel. 23362/22975 This called up'on the public


to play a bigger role than was once the case in making themselves more aware of what is being attempted and why, and particularly in efforts to do away with the woret feature of the past — over-large institutions. One way in which this


could be done was to place the mentally handicapped in smaller homes. This was national policy, but was being stifled by lack of a c t ion by area health authorities and local govem- m e n t . A r e a h e a l t h authorities at Manchester and Preston, for instance, did not help ^Vhalley enough towards reducing the size of Calderstones, and all the problems it created for the villagers. The hospital’s League of


Friends, however, was well aware of what was needed to be done and it had estab­ lished two small homes, but much more public sympathy — and money — was required for what was being attempted. However, there was more


to the needs of the local mentally handicapped than just Calderstones and it was with this in mind that Rotary and the Lions were joining forces. Several local organisa­


tions had been invited to a meeting at the hospital on September 8th to pledge support on four fronts:


• The League of Friends’


project for community hous­ ing of patients.


Rtn G. .MITCHELL • The purchase of a new


minibus for the hospital’s Laneside School.


* The provision of a


short-term care home at Langho Centre.


O Help for the Peter Pan


Club — the centre at Accrington which local hand­ icapped people living at home attend each week for social activities.


P r im a ry aim o f the


September meeting would be to arrange a sponsored walk and Rtn Mitchell said he was delighted that the Lions had agreed to share in this.


Rtn Mitchell welcomed to


his installation Mr John Boston, president of Whal­ ley Lions and hoped that this co-operation would encour­ age Rotarians to liaise even more with other local organ- isations to help causes beyond Clitheroe itself.


As well as the “help the


handicapped” campaign, Rtn Mitchell asked his members to consider doing something to acknowledge the volun­ tary work of many kind- hearted local individuals.


It was also hoped to stage


a “Come-and-sing” evening at Whalley Parish Church to which everyone who felt like raising their voices would be welcomed.
