Set aside more cash for tennis


C O U r t S — COUNCILLOR LACK of cash to pay for the upkeep of the Ribble Valley’s leisure facilities was described as “absolutely appalling” at Tuesday’s council


meeting.


Faints on hearing jail


sentence


TWO policemen had to assist a man from the dock at Clitheroe Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday when he collapsed after being jailed for four months on inde- ncency charges. Immediately after sent­


ence was passed on Joseph Rotherham (55), of Edis- ford Hall Farm, Clitheroe, his solicitor gave notice of appeal and bail was allowed. Rotherham, a staff room


attendant, was jailed for four months for assaulting a nine-year-old girl in April, concurrent with four months for a similar offence involving a six- year-old girl the following month.

of affairs when an author­ ity cannot even pay for the maintenance of its tennis courts,” he said. Coun. Peter Nuttall


(Clitheroe) said the council should make every effort to find money to pay for repairs to the tennis courts and have the job done as quickly as possible.
