trial service which started in September.


Ribble Motor Services’


area manager Mr Ian Mor­ gan said after the meeting: “The future of the Midibus service looks more sure than it was. Although a decision hasn’t'been taken yet it looks encouraging.


“The service is going


very much as we expected. It isn’t making money but we didn’t expect it to.


“Unlike a normal ser­


vice, some days it is full of passengers and other days it has been almost empty. But we are encouraged that it is being used by a lot of different passengers, not'just a small number of regulars.”


The meeting, attended


by Lancashire County, Ribble Valley and some local parish councillors, along with representatives of Ribble Motors, was held to discuss the service in general and see if any changes or improvements were needed. Another meeting will be


held in January to decide if the service is to continue. If it does, Ribble may decide to buy a bus to replace the present one they have hired from Grea­ ter Manchester. The only change agreed


upon at the meeting was that the service, which links Grindleton, Gisburn, Howgill, Rimington, Dow- nham and Worston with Clitheroe, is to start from Clitheroe instead of Grind­ leton, as soon as possible. Parish councillors from


the villages involved who attended Friday’s meeting were very enthusiastic about the service and urged the county council to extend the trial period. The driver, Mrs Betty


Gray of Bolland Prospect, .Clitheroe, also came in for praise.


jSSS&ISi-lSsI1 **? — when adecision on


THE sound of tramping feet echoed through the


.Ribble Valley on Friday, when’ over 400 boys from Clitheroe • Royal -Grammar School took part in a spon­ sored walk. As a result of their


efforts, they hope to raise about £2,500 towards the cost of an extension and renovation to their sports pavilion at High Moor, Encouraged by parents


a n d t e a c h e r s and undaunted by rain and mist, the younger boys fol­ lowed a 16-mile route through Waddington, Gow Ark and Higher Hodder, whi le the older ones attempted'a .20-mile route taking in Jeffrey Hill and Kemple End. Most of the boys were


we l l sp on s o r e d , but undoubtedly the champion was first former Nicholas Gorst. S p on s o red at £3.2814 a mile, he is hoping to bring in about £65.70. Nine check points were


manned by s ta f f and parents along the route and welcome refreshments were provided by parent Mrs Joan Astley. The organising commit-


; tee included B. Boardman, A. A. Cooper, D. Green and N. Thorpe, advised by retired staff members S. Compton and G. Edon. © When a group of boys


trecked past New Page Farm, a puppy decided it looked a lot of fun and bounded out of the far­ myard to join them. It kept up the pace over


16 miles — right back to the Grammar School, where it was collected by its anxious owner Mrs Pat Laxton. The boys were glad to


have it along, and were only sorry it wasn’t spon­ sored.


Fishing fines


TWO fishing offences near West Bradford Bridge cost a Southport man £30 in fines at Clitheroe Magis­ trates’ Court. Arthur Wareing, o f


Kingston Crescent, admit­ ted fishing without a licence and taking fish, from waters belonging to Clitheroe Anglers’ Associ­ ation. He was fined £15 in each case and ordered to pay £22 costs.


155 told


pay your rates’


FINAL notices have been served on 155 ratepayers who had elected to pay their rates by 10 instal­ ments but had defaulted.


This was stated by Rib­


ble YaUey Borough Trea­ surer Mr Gordon Onslow reporting on the recovery proceedings for outstand­ ing rates to the Finance and General Purposes Committee. He said that as a result


. of these notices, about 70 ratepayers had made good their accounts, but it1


suggested that legal pro- ceedings should begin through the Magistrates’ Court for the 80-plus cases which are still in default. The council is prepared


to accept payment in two equal instalments — one by April 30th or within one month o f the rating authority sending the rate bill, and one not later than September 30th. However, where the


first instalment is not paid by" April 30th, the full am o u n t 'o f th e r a t e becomes due and legal pro­ ceedings for the further recovery of the full amount may be taken without further notice. :


‘Save green top’ plea


A PLEA to save the farm- to-doorstep green top milk deliveries was made by Clitheroe’s prospective Parliamentary Labour can­ didate Mr Lindsay Sutton in a speech at the Party’s Eshton Terrace headquar­ ters on Friday. He has written a final


appeal to Agriculture Minister John Silkin to allow housewives to keep their freedom of choice. Mr Sutton said those


people he had talked to in the Clitheroe constituency — farmers and housewives alike — wanted to retain the choice between green top and fully-treated milk. Mr Sutton said he was


...JL


wholeheartedly behind this freedom of choice, pro­ vided there was clear marking of the bottles and the consumer was aware of the difference. The possible risk to


health appeared to be mini­ mal, as long as milk came from brucellosis and tuber­ culosis-tested herds.

A TEMPORARY- easing off in council house repairs has been recommended by the Ribble Valley Council’s Housing Committee in a bid to beat spiralling costs.


1 In a report Chief Techni­


cal Officer. Mr Dennis Black said that the amount al located fo r housing repairs during 1978-79 was £175,000.


The estimated commit­


ted expenditure on special maintenace was around £1 16 ,0 00 ,, which: le ft £7.7,000 fo r , g e n e r a l repairs. About £52,000 of this money had, already been spent and the remain­ ing £25,000 would be spent by the end of next month.

-Couple hit at house grant


THE allocation of a vacant council house in Hurst Green to an engaged couple has disgusted newly­ weds Chris and Amanda Moon.


The house, in Bilsberry,


.'.Cottages, was this week allocated to a couple who became engaged three months ago. But the Moons, say the


decision.is unfair, as they and Amanda’s two and half ’ year-old daughter, Rachel,1 need the empty house more than a couple who are not yet married. .. Chris, a 27-year-old heavy g o od s v ehic le ' driver, who has set up home temporarily with his parents, stresses that they do not begrudge the young couple a home. “In the past, young mar­


ried couples have had to move away from'the vil­ lage because there were no houses. Yet when one


■ comes vacant, an engaged couple is given preference over a married couple with a child.” The Moons, married 12


days ag o, are u p se t because they claim a Rib­ ble Valley Council official told them that they and the engaged couple' were the only ones on the short-list for the vacant house. The council had prom­


ised the. Moons a house in Barrow which would be ready three weeks after their wedding. But then the house in Hurst Green became vacant and they decided to apply. Even though they made


the short-list, they fear their chances of being given the .house were reduced because they had already been promised a house in Barrow.


more upset this week after receiving a letter from Ribble Valley Council con­ firming that their house in Barrow would be ready on January 15th. “I’m sure the letter was


Chris and Amanda even


sent to tty and keep us quiet,” said Chris. Now, until the iMoons


can move to Barrow; they have to live in the sitting room of Chris’s parents home in • Whalley Road, Hurst Green. Ribble Valley Council


representative for Hurst Green, Coun. Mrs Mary Brown, said that when the Moons had called to see her and told her they had not got the house in the village she had said: “Well, you’ve got a house in Barrow.” This week, Mrs Brown


said that the Moons would now have to wait until that house was ready. “The decision over the


vacant house in Hurst Green was a unanimous one by the letting commit­ tee and that’s the end of it,” she said. The council’s Deputy


Treasurer Mr Leslie Pic­ kering said the Moons had been allocated one of a number of houses at Bar- row, which it was esti­ mated would be completed in October or November. The council had given


that date in good faith, but recently the contractors had put it hack to the New Year.

ALL the fun of the fair turned to temporary con­ fusion at Edisford car park on- Friday .night- when smoke was seen' pouring from the roof of a caravan. A door was.forced open and the kitchen was found


. to be on fire. Stallholders tackled the


fire with extinguishers unt il the a r r iv a l o f Clitheroe Fire Brigade which quickly brought the outbreak under control. There was extensive


damage to the kitchen and smoke damage to the remainder of the vehicle. The cause of the out­

BENEFITS the North West has received as the result of Britain’s member­ ship of the EEC were out­ lined at Clitheroe Women’s Conservative Association annual supper. The speaker was Mrs


Elaine Kellet-Bowman, MP for Lancaster and a member of the European Parliament. Emphasising the import­


ance of next year’s Euro- neari elections, Mrs Kellet- Bowman, said it was vital that Britain had directly elected niembers and democratic representation to the European Parlia­ ment.


Mrs Maureen King, of


Worston, presided at the supper, which was held at the Swan and Royal Hotel on Friday evening. Mrs Gwen Coulston, of


Longridge, proposed a vote of thanks. The presi- dent of the Women’s Association, Mrs Elspeth Walder, attended.
