IT seems a sad state of affairs at a time when so many health services are being cut that patients and staff from Calderstones can spend so much money on holidays abroad. Mr Stones, the Divi­

clients must also be consi­ dered. No-one Mill say, I think, that it has never created problems on Church Street. Are they to be transferred to Pimlico Road, with all its heavy


goods traffic? To park at the front of


the house, one has to cross facing traffic approaching from a blind comer and it will be even worse leaving. We have already had one accident in recent months because of this hazard. One must also remember


an entrance and exit. As ratepayers in this


area, we have rightly been invited by the Ribble Val­ ley Council’s Planning Department to submit objections if we wish. We will, and 1 hope that Messrs Tindall and Westh­ ead do not wish to deny us


that right. We accept the commun­


ity need for veterinary care and are aware of all the points covered as to the important part played by the profession. We only say — not in the middle of

unfortunate, perhaps, that the sellers of the property also have an interest in deciding the result of the application. I wish I could be sure that “interest” would make no difference.
