A. FACELIFT for Cross Hills tip is one of the steps being taken to preserve the. panoramic beauty of C l itn e ro e ’s Brungerley Park.


A tour of the area by


officials of the County Council and Ribble Valley Council, with representa­ tives of the Lancashire Naturalists’ Trust and the National Nature 'Conser­ vancy Council, is to lead to a consultative document being drawn up. This will be aimed at keeping it in an unspoilt state, for the enjoyment of the public.


Research will be based


on the Trust’s findings. Innovations which could included are picnic sites and walk ways.


“We are very grateful to


the local naturalists for th e ir help. They have given us a head start,” said


, M r B r u c e D ow le s , administrative assistant with the Ribble Valley Council.


Once suggestions have


been put forward, it will be up to the county council to take any final decision and sort out the financial impli cations.


Work at Cross Hills tip


is due to start in April and will involve levelling and landscaping the site


It will take place in vari­


ous stages, with soil being turned over and allowed to settle, before reseeding is carried out. The job should be completed within two years.

Committee, it was decided that an improvement grant could be available if the property were to be con­ verted into two houses.- Following an informal


approach,for an improve­ ment grant to convert the property — which will be surplus to requirements once the new council offices are available — it was decided the building was too large for one house. B u t members agreed that a grant for two


houses : would be accept­ able. ■

W E knew whodunnit, but would they get away with it? T h a t was the question in everyone s mind when Whalley Church Players presented the thriller. “Intent to Murder” a t the village


Adult Centre/ The plot revolved round


a “marriage” of conveni-1 ence between writer Janet Preston, played by Liz Caton, and on-the-run bank robber George Biggs. N ew c om e r B r ia n


Haworth took his chance superbly in the lead role of George. He convincingly portrayed the lone petty crook, becoming increas­ ingly frustrated and bitter about his circumstances. He almost growled some


of his gripes to his “wife” and his constant scowls and looks skyward left no doubt as to his feelings about other characters. Liz Caton gave a good


performance as the schem­ ing murderess, complete with fickle smile and a talent for telling lies. She changed sides at will and managed to bring out the bitch in the character — definitely not one to be trusted.


The man who eventually


exposed the goings-on was local vet Mr Henderson, wonderfully played by John Caton. His attire — scruffy tweed ja ck e t , baggy trousers, tie and


pocket handkerchief hur­ riedly added — stamped him as a really rural type. His way of asking ques­


tions almost as part of con­ vivial conversation made the character come alive as a sleuth in his own right — a so r t of D a le sm a n Columbo. The second newcomer,


Carole Dewhurst, showed no signs of nerves, playing the homely and leveh headed Chns, Mrs Pre­ ston’s secretary. Chris’s fiance Larry was


played by Stewart Moody, who brilliantly deflated the confident Mrs Preston by telling her about his “sym­ pathy’ for her. A touch of comedy was


added by Edith Trevor, who took the part of the cleaning lady and expertly delivered some Tyk e expressions. T e n s i o n b u i l t up


throughout the play, with doors opening slowly, leav­ ing onlookers wondering who would step out. At the end of the second


act, half the audience seemed to leap from their seats when the injured George fell from nowhere through a door. No wonder there were excited “shush­ ing” noises from the audi­ ence when the curtain came up for the final act! The country cottage set


was a fairly standard one, but attention to detail


really paid off. The Saturday morning


scene involving George and Chris had a real weekend feel to it, simply because radio sound effects gave it a relaxed atmosphere, cut off by typical sharp comments


from George. Director Gabnelle Cox


was pleased with the way things went for the open­ ing night’s full house on


Thursday. A measure.of the plays


success was indicated by.a comment jokingly made afterwards by one of the audience. " I ’m almost too


frightened to go outside,


-he said. That is praise indeed. ■ ■ , .

“But once levelling work


is finished, it should be possible to see the whole of the river valley and the view could b exciting."


)e qu i te One problem which has


to be dealt with is that of motor cyclists using Cross Hills for scrambling. Mr Dowles said that even though they did not cause problems to passers-by, they would have to move elsewTierd; once work started at the tip.


“It is going to be tricky


finding them another site, but so long as we work with them, rather than in opposition to them, I think we can find a suitable solu­ tion,” he said.
