Parents angry t o o '


WE sympathise fully with t h e g o v e r n o r s o f Whiteacre School. But they are not the only ones t o - be 'angry - about ' the v transfer, of pupils to their school, or indeed about


•these pupils being packed into Ribblesdale. Why have we got this


overcrowding; at Ribbles­ dale?- ~


. . There must be a lot of


• other parents worried about this state of affairs.-

AS the parent of a child who will shortly1 be ‘of ;- BEFORE the UK entered age for secondary school, I am deeply concerned the : Common Market and

Ribblesdale is unable to cope with the: vast num­ bers: of incoming pupils. ■ . Seemingly, the Educa- ■;


tion 'Authority will wait for the decline-m the* child boom curve. I wonder, however, i f suf f ic ient thought has been given to the vastly increased num­ bers o f family houses which have, been and are still being built in the area? For the next three


years,1 the average number: in classes at the school my child attends will be 38. According- to radio broad-1

Lack o f foresight has

Time to wake up to tourists’ needs


IF Clitheroe, as the Tourist Information people suggest, is an ideal centre from which to see the undoubted beauty of the Lancashire countryside, isn’t it about time the shopkeepers and hotel and restaurant staffs came into the 20th century?

towns, particularly holiday tow n s , c lo s e d d ow n because of Wakes weeks has long since gone, espe­ cially if the towns in ques­ tion aim to be tourist c e n t r e s ca te r in g for holidaymakers..


It surely cannot be that


Clitheroe’s shopkeepers, hotel and restaurant staffs are so well paid that they can afford to do without the money likely to be spent in the town.


For how much longer


will tourists and others come into the town if, when they get there, it is impossible to get an even-, ing dinner or midday lunch, and they have to make do with a bar snack?


Time and time again last week, while holidaying in


."theVarea, VI -heard-people turned away with “Sorry, the kitchen staff are on holiday.”


It’s ridiculous. In no


other holiday centre could such lack of amenities exist . and the community thrive.

. West’s reply of 2 spades with


only 3 made is the only available sensible bid.


Pavement parker


A BILLINGTON woman who left her Land-Rover parked on the pavement in King Street, Whalley, while she called at a shop, was fined £5 at Clitheroe. .Helen Sunderland (22),


of Co-operative Terrace, admitted the offence in a letter to the court, saying that' because she was pre­ gnant at the time and also had her two-year-old child with her, she decided to park near the shop. • She was not aware there was any obstruction to pedestrians.

Anglers’ fury over fence


AN exclusive-anglers’ club may take legal action against a Waddington farmer to make him remove a barbed wire- fence on the Clitheroe bank of the River Ribble.


1 Members of the Ribbles­ dale Angling Association are angry because the fence prevents them fish­ ing a stretch of water they lease between Brungerley Bridge and the1 Bathing


. Steps. ; ^ The association made an


immediate 'protest when the fence, was erected last summer; by Mr Jim Bar- row, of Oakenfields, Wad­ dington. Since then it has made further approaches to ask for its removal.


Association secretary


Mr Max Dawson said: “The height of the game fishing season is almost here and this particular stretch is excellent for catching sea trout. :


“My members pay a lot


. of money in rates and sub­ scriptions and they are entitled to expect to fish without this sort of hindr­ ance.” .


. The anglers lease the


fishing rights from the Guides Association in Lon­ don and under the agree­ ment are allowed “uninter-, rupted passage” along the river bank.


Normally a nine-foot


wide access is provided under such agreements.


Mr Barrow declined to comment. Top show prize for Terry

they set off from Chat- burn. Members w e re shown how the beck was diverted, the places and shapes of the holding dams and the grinding wheels. Returning to Downham,


Mr J. Gregory thanked the leader. A walk on August 12th


along the Hodder will be led by Mr G. Friend. Meet fo r Slaidburn bus at Clitheroe Station, 10-45 a.m.


Health Council to meet ris­


ing costs. The move came follow­


ing a letter from Mrs Mar­ garet Panikkar, Ribble Valley Organiser for Meals- on-Wheels, and Coun. Mrs Beryl Cassidy, the Clitheroe Organiser.


It pointed out that


because of difficulties in staffing in the Clitheroe area there were problems involved in washing up after deliveries had been made.


The letter also stated that the Health Council


. wanted the meals increase back-dated to April-1st. Coun. Bill Fleming (Bil-


lington) thought that the washing up charge was “ fan ta st ic ” and Coun. Geoffrey: Ainsworth (Bil- lington) thought that they should look for somewhere else to carry out the work. He also disagreed with the April back-dating.


7 The chairman, Coun.


Tom Robinson (Clitheroe), said that'if they'wanted to keep the service in . the town there were very few choices le ft open. He suggested that the Health Council should be asked to back-date from July 1st.
