ARTIFICIAL boundaries may be drawn up “to do Beeching” on Bramley Meade Hospital,” the


Ribble Valley Council’s Policy and Resources Committee was warned this week.


The chairman, Coun. Bill early meeting with Black- Fleming, spoke of disturb- b u rn H e a lth D is t r ic t

rumours and it is very disturbing,” he said. “If the unit was closed it would be terrible for people living in outlying areas in view of the travel involved to Blac- burn.” He suggested that the committee should have an

recommended for approval. In a written report, Mr


Wilson said the Erin Bleach Company was currently based in cramped mill premises at Burnley. It wanted to put up, in


two equal stages, a mill of 100,000 sq. ft. It was envis­ aged that the first 50,000 sq ft. development would be u s e d to e x p a n d th e company’s silk screen print­ ing processes, and for office and storage space. The second development


would house machinery for bleaching and washing. Mr Wilson’s report said


the firm ultimately wanted to extend the development to 250,000 sq. ft., although this would be phased over a considerable number of years.


Notified To man the initial develop­


ment, the firm would trans­ fer 30 workers from its mill in Burnley and take on 15 new workers. The building itself would


be single-storey and stand well back from the main road on the Barrow side of the small reservoir that is currently being filled in. Mr Wilson said the


(Mellor) said that she had repor ted details of the Bramley Meade situation to the last meeting of the Ribble Valley Council’s Public Works and Health Committee. Health chiefs had indi­


cated that there was no possibility of the maternity unit closing for up to 10 years. They were under the


impression that one unit will have to be kept open and it is thought th a t would be Bramley Meade. This was something that the Council would press for, said Coun.


Mrs Mayes. The committee had also


sent a letter to the Area Health Authority about its feelings on Bramley Meade and was waiting a reply.

For Ribble Valley Coun­


cil’s Development Commit­ te e has recommended approval for an application from the Institute of Geolog­ ical Sciences to extend the borehole to over 2,000ft. beneath the farmland.


The committee was told


that Cluff were drilling to just over 1,000ft. — the limit permitted by their Government licence.


The Institute, a learned


society concerned with g e o lo g ic a l r e s e a r c h , intended to extend the borehole from where Cluff left off.

But Mr Onslow emphas­

“By default we haven’t taken immediate action in


the past, but this year our administration is set, up to take action as soon as one instalment is missed.” Failure to pay could mean

AFTER hitting a policeman with his cab, Sabden taxi driver David Foreman was chased through the streets of Blackburn at 60 mph, Blackburn magis­ trates were told.


Foreman, of Clitheroe


Road, Sabden, was fined a total of £335 for nine motor­ ing offences and banned from driving for a total of three-and-a-half years.


He was also fined £100 for

had been notified of the proposed development and although some had asked to see the plans, none had spec­ ifically objected. One resi­ dent had written asking that the new building be sunk into the ground to make it less obtrusive. Mr Wilson’s report said


that the parish council had also backed the plan, subject to assurances that there would be no noise or smell.
