Letters to the Editor at


Edisford will )


bring great pleasure


SINCE the miniature railway scheme at Edis­ ford is primarily for the pleasure and entertain­ ment of children, I find it very difficult indeed to understand why Mr A. Bell, of Grimsby (last week’s letters) condemns it, particularly in the


Year of the Child. It is possible that Mr


Bell has no children of his own, in which case he can­ not appreciate the tre­ mendous amount of plea­ sure that a youngster receives from riding on a railway and, indeed, the s a t is fa c t io n i t g iv e s parents to see the excited expression on .the child’s face when having a ride. Should this be the case,


please don’t begrudge everyone else’s children that pleasure, Mr Bell. If Mr Bell does have children of his own, then I can hardly imagine him allow­ ing his child to stand at the entrance to any such rail-


I way with an appealing expression on its face ana bluntly refusing a ride because he believes the railway is spoiling the natural beauty of the area. On the other hand, if he


will have the patience to wait until the project has been properly landscaped and planted with trees and shrubs, his thoughts may


Solving roaming dog problem


I READ with interest in . last week’s Advertiser and Times about the move to employ a dog warden at Whalley. Well, as far as Burnley


and Padiham are con­ cerned, there are still a lot of dogs roaming around, despite having wardens'. Also the animal shelters are fuller than ever. More often than not,


dogs picked up by the.war- dens are not claimed and the owners just go and buy another puppy. So the vici­ ous circle repeats itself. Every council should


make a strict rule that a dog must be accompanied at all times. If found wan­ dering, a dog should be returned to the owner with a warning, and if it hap- | pens again there should be


I a fine. In places as small as


Whalley and Billington this


• should not be too difficult: Genuine animal lovers


are fed up of hearing about the menace of dogs, when irresponsible owners are the real menace. What’s the point of own­


ing a dog ju s t to let it wander. For goodness sake, stop and think and do not get a dog if you are not prepared to care for it


properly.. _ I also ask councils to


think seriously before granting a licence to deal­ ers who buy litters of pup­ pies and are only in it for money. I would make them pay a very large fe e . Maybe then we may have a chance to stop unwanted

r . -;1.. be a little different, or at


least I hope so. Failing that, Mr Bell


need only walk a little further along the river bank to be away from it all once again. In conclusion, may I sug­


gest that instead of con­ demning a project, without first of all having all the facts, Mr Bell should come and speak to the members of the Blackburn Model Engineering Society on the subject. We are at the tra ck every weekend, working very hard to make the scheme look right'. One never knows, he may even join in and help us! During the construction


of the track hundreds of people have inquired when it will be completed, and said what a marvellous idea it is for the entertain­ ment of the children — and believe me a lot of children visit the Edisford recrea­ tion area during the sum­ mer. To deprive the kid­ dies of that pleasure would, in my mind, be very selfish. To avoid that, I suggest Mr Bell finds him­ self a nice quiet spot on the top of Pendle or Kemple where he can listen in peace to the curlews. I am sure the birds won’t mind. As a Clitheronian, not as


an occasional visitor to Edisford, I firmly believe that the railway will pro­ vide an immense amount of pleasure to thousands of local and visiting children. KEN TAYLOR Chairman, BMES


Reason for sewerage scheme


delay


IN a report last week about delay to the Sawley sewerage ■ scheme you stated that this was due to the owner of part of the land not being prepared to


sell. As the owner in question


I would like to make known the true back­ ground to the delay. When I acquired my site


in Sawley it had already been agreed that the sewerage disposal unit would be placed at the


extreme south end. My site has planning


permission for uses as a motel. The Water Author­ ity now wish to change the site of the sewerage treat­ ment works to a more northerly position, nearer the site of my proposed motel. As the original site of the treatment plant was changed because someone thought the new site is too near my proposed motel. I have already applied to


the Ribble Valley Council for planning permission to erect an industrial building on the site instead of the


motel. I f I had been given plan­


ning permission for the industrial s ite then I would, of course, have no objection to the treatment site being near any indust­ rial development of mine. However, as matters


stand, as the only develop­ ment I can undertake, is that of a Motel I am forced to protect my interests. Thus I must object to the site of the sewerage treat­ ment works being placed near to my motel site. I trust this clears the position for your readers.

Chance to remedy previous mistakes


SO Mr Bell has “always been impressed by the way in which the n a tu ra l beauty of the town and surrounding area has been preserved. He must be incredibly easily satisfied.


I came to Clitheroe in


1963, to a beautiful town set among beautiful fells and completely spoilt by a g h a s t ly ch im n ey at Ribblesdale Cement.


No matter which road


one travelled to Clitheroe, this was the most promi­ nent feature of the land­


scape. Soon th e re was an


inquiry into expansion plans by the firm — an opportunity to trim this monstrosity to an .unobtru­ sive size. But this was not to be —. i( was actually joined by a twin, to make the combination twice as


intensive. . Now there is to be yet another look at further


expansion plans — again a ! chance to. remedy previous mistakes. Yet how much


hope can one have that this well ensue?


Clitheroe is a small com­


munity and this obviously makes it extraordinarily


difficult to turn down such applications or require


firms modify plant. Let it be said that both


the powers and the tech­ nology. exist. The council already- has the power, vested in it by the planning


legislation. To . filter the emissions (at ground level)


- requires only- the applica­ tion of money, which clearly the firm will not be willing to spend unless it is made to do so.


Meanwhile the council


states that one_ of i ts priorities is to bring tour­ ism to the valley. It this is really the intention it has at this moment an ideal opportunity to bring an end to the despoiling of the very landscape the tourists would come to see.

RATE defaulters in. the R ib b le : V a l le y h av e received their final notices for payment, Borough Tre­ asurer Mr Gordon Onslow told the Ribble'Valley Council’s Finance and Gen­ eral Purposes Committee. These had resulted in a


favourable response — but the comments accompany­ ing some of them were not so favourable, he told


members. The amount of rates out­


standing in the Ribble Val-1 ley on October 31st was £646,763 (14.81 per cent), compared with £423.129 (12.27 per cent) at the


same time last year. But by November 30th


the outstanding rates due had dropped to 9.96 per cent, compared with 8.96 per cent last year. . Mr Onslow explained


that this year’s increase in the figure outstanding was mainly due to his depart- ment getting behind with the collection procedure, because of teething trou-


bles with the computer. “Last year at this time


we had taken legal action against defaulters. We are not doing too badly this year, however, and but for the hiccup in our computer | we would have taken action earlier."


. Members resolved that


any legal action to be taken' should be started by mid- January at the latest.


Debate is highlight


THE highlight of the even­ ing at Clitheroe Speakers’ Club was a debate on the motion “A perpetual holi­ day is a good definition of |


hell.” It was proposed and sec­


onded by Mr Stan Black­ burn and Dr Krishna Gurumurthy and opposed by Mr Don Anderson and


Mr Allan Ross. After some intense and


thought-provoking points had been made, a vote was taken and the proposal narrowly accepted.
