New Boots’ shop ‘asset to town’


THE conversion of the old car showrooms in Clitheroe centre into a shop for Boots, the chem­ ists, would be “a great asset to the town,” Coun. John Troop told members of the Ribble Valley Council’s Development Sub-Committee. Coun. Troop was proposing approval of Boots’


application to redevelop the Castle Street show­ rooms which have been empty for a few years. He said: “Boots should be congratulated on


suggesting a shop front which is very nicely in keeping with the town centre. I hope some of the other shops in Clitheroe will follow this lead.” ■ In a report to the committee, Chief Architect and Planning Officer Mr Charles Wilson said the company planned to replace the present showrooms with a building on a similar scale. There would be two storeys, the ground floor


being the shop and the first floor a stockroom and staff facilities. The main frontage of the building on Castle


Street would have two shop fronts in varnished hardwood with stained timber fascias and gold lettering. First-floor windows would be the wooden sliding sash type set in stone surrounds made from local limestone. The report said the development also included


the knocking down of various outbuildings behind the showrooms which would leave more car parking room for the Starkie Arms. The report added that Clitheroe Civic Society


generally welcomed- the scheme and no official objections had been received. The Sub-Committee approved the plan.

latest official figures issued by the Department of Energy showing comparative running costs for various fuels. You’ll see that gas central heatingis the only sensible choice.

He is also still hoping that a local doctor will offer to attend the jogging sessions e i th e r as a participant or just to keep an eye on the older athletes.


Said Mr Whittaker: “I feel that a jogging club is one way that villagers who do not take part in competi­ tive sport can make use of the playing fields we have recently acquired.”

Mr Whittaker stresses that older people wishing to take part should have a medical check-up first.


SUNDAY morning jogging sessions for villagers in Whalley should begin on April 2nd. One of the villagers who proposed the idea, Mr Brian Whit­ taker, of 5 Woodlands Drive, says there has been good support for the idea.
