Area’s natural beauty ruined


SEVEN years ago I came to Clitheroe to live on the Edisford Park estate. One of the reasons I chose this area was the natural beauty of the Edisford Bridge area.

authorities have methodi­ cally taken this facility away from the people of the area. Stage one was the com­


pletion of the mini-golf, which took approximately 40 per cent of the available grass area. Stage two was the com­


pletion of the caravan park and toilet block. This took

RESIDENTS living near the Abbots Way playing area in Whalley are con­ cerned about teenagers messing about on the swings late at night. One woman, told Whal­


ley Parish Council last week that people were upset by the noise and anti-social behaviour of the teenagers, who were sometimes in the . park at midnight. She pleaded with the


council not to site a new piece of equipment near the swings. The council has been given a £500 grant from Ribble Valley Council towards the cost of new apparatus. ‘ ‘Please do not put it

near our end of the playing area, we have enough trou­ ble ajready,” she said. The council agreed that


the question o f siting would be looked at care-


fully. Councillors suggested


that it might be possible to lock up the swings at night to prevent them being used. The resident said she had contacted the police


about the problem but the swings were still often


wrapped around the top bars late at night by noisy youths.

BRIDGE CLUB


THERE was a good attendance at the duplicate game at Clitheroe Bridge Club, when 13 tables were in play. Winners were: NS — Mr A.


Woollin and Mrs J. Martindale, Mr and Mrs R. Atkinson. EW — Mr P. Jennings and Mr Black­ wood, Mr Leonard and Mr Oddie. I was very pleased with the


another 30. to 40 per cent of the space. ' The third stage was the


extension of the caravan area, complete with toilet block, p lu s a s em i ­ permanent caravan enclo­ sure for the staff — I might add, complete with catering van, lorry engine, milk crates and general


bric-a-brac resembling a gipsy encampment.


The final indignity is the


creation of the miniature railway. This abomination completes the destruction of what was, seven years ago, an area of outstanding natural beauty. It also means that


approximately half the remaining space is lost to public use, leaving less than 10 per cent of the original area free.


\ How long-before we have a “big dipper” , candy f lo s s, hot-dogs and a charge of 50p for the plea- sure o f v isit ing this ‘menagerie’? Can I assume all this


was financed by the people of Clitheroe?

Green light for garage plan


Central Garage, York Street, Mr Alan Miller and Mr Ronald Capstick, want to replace the existing wooden building with a more permanent concrete structure. It is intended to provide


stores, a staffroom, toilets and a reception area in the new building, which will be covered with translucent sheets to allow more day­ light into the workshop. The existing petrol pumps will remain. They have owned the


site for the past two years, after renting it previously for about eight years. A garage was first


established on the site some 65 years ago when

taken by the firm of George Tomlinson, who eventually bought the property. Tomlinson’s stopped operating about 10 years ago and leased the site to the present owners.


Spotting fakes


THE difference between original paintings and


fakes — sometimes not so obvious — was revealed by Padiham restorer Mr R.


Sambrook at Monday's meeting of Clitheroe Anti­ que Club at the Sun Inn, Waddington. He promised to make a


return visit to the club next April, when he will bring some ultra-violet ray equipment to illustrate how to make comprehen­ sive checks on suspected fakes.

The appeal was made by J ' Mr Blackburn was rep­

Mr Isherwood said that


the shippon and stable had become redundant as stor­ age areas because Mr Blackburn’s modern farm machinery was too bulky for them. “However, there would


still be space to store one vehicle in an adjoining barn which was not part of the conversion plans,” he said. For Ribble Valley Coun­


cil, Mr P. Timson said planning permission had been refused because there was already a prob­ lem of storage space with vehicles being kept in the open.. “This is giving a very

A F TE R being ji lted abruptly by his girl a 19- year-old machine operator went to her home and broke a glass door panel to gain entry. David Forster then


assaulted three policemen as they removed him from the house, C l ith e ro e magistrates were told. Forster, of Fairfield


Drive, Clitheroe, was fined £25 for damaging property and ordered to pay £45 for the cost of repairs. He was fined £50 on each of three charges of assault and had to make a legal aid contribution of £69. He pleaded guilty. • His solicitor, Mr William


Greenwood, said Forster was now s o r r y and ashamed for the disgustin) manner in which he hai behaved, and he wished to apologise to the police and the court. Forster and the girl had


been sweethearts since they were 15. They had been engaged for a year and were saving up to get married. He had gone to her house and was flabber­ gasted and distressed when she threw her engagement ring at him in the hall and said she had finished with him', said Mr Greenwood.
