Bus service cuts leave Sabden high and dry
SABDEN’S bus service has been cut to the bone. That’s the opinion of Ribble Valley Coun. Miss Alice Alston, who has hit out at the Ribble bus company for abandoning its Saturday service from Sabden to Clitheroe.
th e c u t -b a c k decision because it means that 80 school children between the ages of 11 and 16, who attend Clitheroe schools, must now rely solely on their parents’ cars to take them to Saturday events.
Miss Alston has criticised “There’s a fairly regular
s e rv ic e on S a tu rd ay s through Read and Simon- stone to Clitheroe, but Sabden is now completely isolated — that is, unless you happen to own a car,” she said.
LOOK OUT FOR 'VOTE BUYING’ WARNS MP
AN accusation that Denis Healey is preparing a “vote buying” Budget for Labour has been levelled by Mr David Walder, Clitheroe Division MP.
Clitheroe Women’s Conser v a t iv e Association on Friday, he forecast that the Chancellor would announce that he would not be deman ding so much of the public’s money as he had in previous years.

It would be put over as a

“I am sure that the British
couldn’t be done and each time Conservatives have proved that it could.” Mr Walder said that there

Miss Alston is also quick The problem is particu
larly acute, she explained, when one considers that people wishing to visit hospi tals in Blackburn, or simply to do some shopping in Clitheroe, are now left high and dry. Miss Alston recalls that
Sabden residents told the Ribble Valley Council some 12 months ago that they would prefer an improved weekend service to Burnley, rather than Clitheroe. But, she adds, the villagers did not think that the Saturday service to Clitheroe would be completely abandoned. Sabden Parish Council has
written to the Ribble Valley Council and the county surveyor, complaining about
Gillette Cup medals and his England cap and presented to the school a miniature bat signed by the Lancashire players. Mr Cavanagh said the
the reduction in service. A spokesman for the Borough Council’s planning d e p a r tm e n t said th a t economics had played a major part in the move. It seemed — after carrying out a census several times — that there was no demand for a Saturday service. Wh e n s t a t i n g its
session had been organ ised to interest the chil- d ren in c r ic k e t and encourage them to watch the game at the Read club. When the season starts
the school team will be competing in the Ribble Valley schools league.
