Two are jailed for offence against girl


TWO men who had sex with a 15-year-old girl in a


house in Clitheroe were jailed at Preston Crown Court.


P e te r Masters (40), a foundry worker, of Palatine Road, Blackpool, and Fran­ cis Ian Barton (40), a cement worker, of Littlemoor Road, Chtheroe, both admitted the offences. Masters was jailed for 18

Justice Hollings said: “The law that you have broken was passed to protect young girls against themselves.” The fact that a young girl

Driver hurt


A CLITHEROE man had hospital treatment for cuts to the head after an accident at the junction of Woone Lane and Moor Lane early on Sunday morning. Ian Llewellyn (20), of Montague Street, was allowed home after treatment at Black­ burn Royal Infirmary. His Ford Cortina car, which was in collision with a parked vehicle, was badly damaged.

sited about 30 yards from the current clubhouse. The report said an earlier


application for 12 caravans on a site 80 yards away from the club house had been turned down because they did not fit in with the surrounding area. I t had been suggested


then that there should be a new building for accommo­ dation but the club said it did not have enough money, membership costs being kept down so that as many people as possible could enjoy flying.


But at a meeting of the


sub-committee Coun. Geof­ frey Ainsworth (Clayton-le- Dale) considered a perma­ nent building was the only proper solution. “I think the club should extend its club house or provide some sort of building — we are becom­ ing more and more cluttered up with caravans,” he said.

District Administrator Mr Lionel Bamford would hot confirm that such a plan had been drawn up. “All I can say is that the district management team has discussed the matter and sent its observations to area who will make the final deci­ sions,” said Mr Bamford. The m a tte r would be


discussed at either the April or May meeting of the Area Health Authority. “A recommendation will


then be made and this will go out to consultation with all in te res ted parties. The public can have their say through their community health council,” a spokesman said. "After the statutory three


months of consultation the area will make a final deci­ sion. It would take six months to carry out the


exercise.” The spokesman stressed


that there was no question of Bramley Meade being closed altogether. Even if maternity facilities ceased there, the home would continue to be used for National Health Service purposes, he said.

Coun. Bill Fleming (Langho), however, felt the committee ought to look at the application in a favour­ able light. “I know that the members of this club work very hard and they are conscientious with their sport — they deserve some help from us.”

A £20 0 f u l l - l e n g t h lambswool coat was stolen from a sports car parked in Wi n d e rme r e Avenue , Clitheroe.

It disappeared from the car, belonging to a friend of Mr Riley-Harker’s, between last Thursday night and the following morning.
