Interests being looked after


IT would appear from the report in last week’s Ad­ vertiser that councillors at Billington are not well in­ formed about planning ap­ plications and decisions of the planning department and its committee. In fairness it should be


stated that the parish council receives details of all planning applications — and its observations are given to the planning committee. Also, 1 myself receive all applications in detail, not only for my own parish but for the whole of the borough. Although I am not a


member of the planning committee I have a t­ tended meetings and have never been refused per­ mission to address the committee on matters re­ levant to our parish. Indeed, on one occasion

ping council is especially important. It is respons­ ible to no higher authori­ ty, yet it is allowed to appoint one-third of the school managers and about a third of the Trus­ tees of the founding charity. The Charity Commis­


sion held a routine public inquiry in Chipping on June 11th, 1901, about the local charities and the school.


There was no further


meaningful contact bet­ ween the Charity Com­ mission, the education .au­ thorities and the Chipping Valley until 1975. Every­ one, including myself, as­ sumed that the school was “some sort of Church of England school.”


I was successful enough to have the recommenda­ tions of the planning of­ ficer reversed. In addi­ tion, the committee chair­ man has contacted me personally for comments on particular applications. The residents of Billing­


ton can be assured their interests are being well looked after.

Step into the lead


WHEN Allan Hall was unable to lead the way for Clitheroe Ramblers’ As­ s o c ia t io n ’s walk on Sunday, Janet Mason and Ellen Parker stepped up to take his place. Instead of the planned


walk to Boulsworth, the group went for a ramble in the snow around the Limestone Scars above Settle. The route ■ taken was


from Settle to Attamire Scar, Victoria .Cave for lunch, Langcliffe Scar, Catrigg Force and Stain- forth Force, returning along the riverside to Market Place, Settle. The next walk, on


Spence Moor on April 19th, will be led by Ellen Parker.
