Support for economy measure


THE Ribble Valley Coun­


cil’s Policy and Resources Committee has supported Government proposals which could end free school


transport. At its meeting on Mon­


day, the committee voted not to oppose the move, despite a demand from the Mayor, Coun. Jimmy Fell,


that the county council be asked to seriously recon­ sider the proposals. The intended charges,


starting in September, will be £1.20 a week ,for prim­ ary school children and £1.70 a week for over | elevens.

P ig movement order may be lifted


THE Ministry of Agriculture, is expected to lift from midnight tonight the swine vesicular dis­ ease order which has restricted the movement of pigs in a wide , area of northern England.


Thi s development


Castle House


to add Castle House would be a bit one-sided.


Coun. Singleton urged


posal of the district, coun­ cil’s other o f f ic e s ■ i n Clitheroe; Chief Executive Mr . Michael • Jacksom said


that the Town Council should transfer its rights to the Chamber and Par­ lour in return for Castle House. His proposal, how­ ever, was defeated. In a report on the dis­


that talks were still taking place: with engineering firm Atkinson’s about the Planning Department’s temporary home in Prin­


seemed unlikely when a further outbreak of the disease was confirmed at Ribchester on Monday, together with another one near Preston.


But on Tuesday, Mr


Ernest Parker, the County NFU secretary, at Pre­ ston, told the'Advertiser “it is highly likely the order will be lifted at mid­ night on Thursday."


sidered they had traced all sources of infection from markets and farms, he said.


The Ministry’s vets con­


THERE are now only a few vacancies left for a pensioners’ trip to sunny

including 500 at .a farm near. Storiyhurst, which was one' of the f i r s t affected.


cess Avenue. The county council ear­


lier this month agreed to Atkinson’s moving in, but only on the basis of plan­ ning permission for two


years. The county has also put


„ two - y e a r planning restriction on the Princess Avenue offices, including those of the education department, the social ser­ vices and the registrar. The county council itself


is considering acquiring Mytton House, which Mr Jackson has suggested could be used in the mean­ time for storage purposes, because of its proximity to


the new offices. The Health Department


in Church Brow and Tech­ nical Offices in Pimlico Road are presently in the hands of estate agents. Coun. Green and vice- chairman Coun. Riding were authorised to accept the best offers to complete the deals as quickly as


possible.


A controlled, area imposed by the Ministry on January 14th stretches from the Lune to North Yorkshire and down to Cheshire.


Its effects have caused


hardship for local pig breeders. Producers oi' weaners have been able to move them to fatteners only within the controlled area and then only with a


licence. Because many of their


regular customers farm outside the area, weaner producers have continued to feed the growing ani­ mals, with no cash flow to pay for their keep.


Mr Parker explained


that lifting the order will make free movement poss­ ible, but on farms where there has been an outbreak, re-stocking can take place only after three months, at half the previous level.


This ruling.continues for


a year, in which monitor­ ing by the Ministry’s vets continues.
