AS a lifelong worshipper of St Mary’s, Clitheroe, I must confess to being rather horrified at the proposal of the restoration committee to attempt to usurp one of the town’s traditional forms of local and national rejoicing as a simple “money-grabbing” effort, and can only put it down to the exuberance and ignorance of youth. I would remind the


Stamp down on


markets


A SMALL news item about Sunday; markets caught my eye in your last issue. Superficially these markets can be reckoned a good thing, good for the traders who have stalls; enticing for the public who go to them; good because they break the supposed deadness of the Engl­


ish Sunday. But unless open trading


is allowed on Sundays, which one day it may well be, these markets should be curbed. The traders cannot be


promoters that torchlight processions usually culmi­ nate in an expensive firework display and rarely, if ever, make a profit — and in the event of a wet day make a sub­ stantial loss, which is borne by the ratepayers. Such events cannot be transferred into the


Sunday School. Advertis­ ing far and wide is impor­ tant too, as success is. largely due to visitors — if it is fine. Local businesses are wise to withhold their


support. The appeal seems to be doing very well indeed as it is, with­ out entering into controv­ ersial projects. Let the remainder of the fund come naturally. One well known local

Council’s Development Sub-Committee has ap­ proved proposals to con­ vert a house at “North- cote”, Northcote Lane, into a hotel and re­ staurant. The property, a large brick-built house in its j own grounds, is empty at present. The committee, in approving the restaur­ ant plan, laid down condi­ tions. These will ensure the safe use of the high­ way and the amenities of the surrounding area, safeguard public health and avoid undue disturb­ ance to the locality. Coun. Edwin Gretton


(Grindleton) welcomed the idea. “Not many single families could afford, to live in such a big house and so I think it is quite an appropriate solution," he said. Chief Architect and


Planning Officer Mr Philip Bailey said the site was a


good one in that it was very .secluded and isolated from other residential


property. The only note of con­


cern came from Coun. Jack Carr (Billington) who wondered what would happen if plans to widen the A59 near “Northcote”


came about. “If that section was up­


graded into a dual car­ riageway, the premises could be very close to heavy traffic,” he said. But Mr Bailey said
