THERE were several local y o ungst ers among tne honours at Burnley Music Festi­ val at the weekend.


Although recovering


from flu, Clitheroe teen­ ager Jane Reddy took two first prizes in the recorder and flute classes and also a second and third prize.

Jane (13), the daughter


of Mr and Mrs Kieran Reddy, of Gills Croft, Clitheroe, attends St Au­ gustine’s RC School, Bil- fington. She is a member of the school band and has been competing at festi­ vals since she was 11.

Salthill scheme will cost the town extra


CLITHEROE Town Council has. had to make a supplementary precept to this year’s rate to cover extra expenditure.


Town Clerk Mr Leslie


Festival cup for school choir


Telford said it was too late for the council to add anything to this year’s rate of lp in the £. But any extra expendi­


ture would be met by the Ribble Valley Council, with the town council having to recoup the sum on next year’s rate. One of the reasons for


the move is the town council’s decision to press ahead with its plans for a recreational area at Salth­ ill — despite the fact that the only nope of grant aid lies with the Ribble Valiev Council.


Coun. Brian Braith- .


waite said: ‘‘We must cut our clothes ’ according to our cloth at Salthill but even if it is ju s t a clean, open space, where kiddies can play, then we are achieving something." Mr Telford said that it


was not possible to say how much the extra rate would be as a number of other factors were in­ volved. But he added that to do anything at Salthill would cost about £5,000.


COUNCIL WRITES TO MP


WADDINGTON P a r ish Council -is worried about' th e consequences should

the proposed withdrawal of social security pay­ ments from sub-post of­


fices come about. The council is to send a


letter to the local MP, Mr John Watson, making strong representations on the issue. It fears that if payments are withdrawn, many sub-post offices, in­ cluding that in Wadding­ ton, could be forced to


close. They also believe that


elderly people in the vil­ lage may move if they cannot easily receive pay­


ments. However, Clitheroe Di­


vision MP Mr David Wad­ dington said recently that people are worrying need­ lessly about the effect of Government proposals to change the method of paying pensions and be


nefits. He said that the Gov­


ernment did not propose


that pensioners should be compelled to accept pay­ ment into bank accounts. What was wanted was more choice as to the method of payment. He added that the Gov­
