12 Clitheroe Adveiiiser and Times, July 2nd, 1981 Village PC


VILLAGE bobby at Bolton-by-B^wland until he retired in 1956, Mr ~ Sunday, aged 92. Mr Carr, a widower,


stayed on in the village after leaving the force and lived alone at Park View Cottages, Gisbum. A native of Castleford,


he joined the Army as a young man and spent 12 years in the cavalry. He was stationed in Egypt and India and became a troop sergeant in the 7th Dragoon Guards. Mr Carr also served in


France throughout the first world war. After leaving the Army


he joined the West Riding Force and spent 27 years on the beat, the last eight at Bolton-by-Bowland. At one stage Mr Carr


was a successful breeder of border terriers and, as an ex-cavalryman, took a keen interest in horses. Four years ago Mr


Carr’s kindness and hospi­ tality led to the holiday of a lifetime in Ireland. A group of people in­


vited to nis home for a cup of tea and a chat turned out to be members of the Irish Town and Country Homes Associa­ tion on a promotional tour of the country. They were so impressed they invited their Ireland for a


that host to holiday. Mr Carr was so pleased


with his visit tnat he made a return trip to the Emerald Isle last year. There will be a funeral


service at St Peter and Paul’s tomorrow, followed by interment in the chur­ chyard.

Valley losing out


onNHS


RIBBLE Valley ratepay­ ers are being given a raw deal in certain areas of the National Health Service. The claim was made by


the borough council’s Deputy Health and Hous­ ing Officer Mr Richard Isherwood. Commenting on propos­


als to reshuffle the service and create new district health authorities, he told the Public Works and Health Committee that Ribble Valley people did not get as good a deal as those in other areas. Indeed, certain sections


of the service were third- rate in the Ribble Valley, he claimed. He urged members not


to lose out when reorgan­ isation takes place and fight for representation on the new aietrict health


council. The committee agreed


to write to the county council and the Regional Health Authority to try to ensure a place on the council.

NovYhere to answer nature’s call


VISITORS to Chatburn are hopping-mad — because they can’t spend, a penny! Since the village lost its only pubbe toilets 12 months ago people are using the Ibcal churchyard and popping nehind walls to answer nature's call.


The embarrassing situa­


tion was described to the Ribble Valley Council’s Public Works and Health Committee by, Coun. - Ted Boden, who is also Chat- biim Parish Council clerk. When the le^e was not


renewed on toilets in the Brown Cow Inn car park, the committee promised, to find another site when money was available. Un­ fortunately the scheme was a victim , of spending


cuts. Said Coun. Boden:


we are confident even at this early stage, that Sep­ tember 5th will be a night to remember,” said Coun. Ainsworth. “With all the misery in


the world at the moment, we need a bit of fun now and then. That is what the p r o c e s s io n and firework display will be_— an evening packed with fun and and just a plain good time for everyone who comes along. “Although the actual


wedding takes place a few weeks earlier, we aim to celebrate it in style. For the silver jubilee celebra­ tions four years ago, we had about 90 floats in the procession, as well as nundreds of individuals. This time, we are hopin even more people wi take part.” The procession will take


about two hours from start to finish. It will start at the junction of Victoria Street and West View and proceed along Woone Lane, Moor Lane and Castle Street into Market Place. After passing along


follow Henthorri Road, and Thorn Street to the Castle Field entrance on Eshton Terrace. Catering at the Castle


York Street, it will turn left into Well Terrace and proceed along Waddington Road, Railway View, Sta­ tion Road, Parson Lane, Bawdlands and Edisford Road to the junction with Seedall Avenue. The route will then


“This lack of toilets is causing distress, particu­ larly at weekends. “Chatburn is oulte a


tourist attraction, but vis­ itors are resorting to re­ lieving themselves in the churchyard or behind walls. Such a situation must not be allowed to continue.” Borough Planning and


Technical Officer Mr Philip Bailey said he w ou ld s e e w h e th e r another lease could be ob­ tained for replacement toilets in the Brown Cow carpark.


Call for better road care


A SECOND letter is being sent to the county council urging an im­ provement in the Ribble Valley’s highway, mainte­ nance and the possible r e in t r o d u c t i o n of lengthsmen in certain areas.

Query over market stalls


THE Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s jpolicy of letting stalls on (Jlitheroe market has been criticised, following consideration of applica­ tions from the local CND group and Clitheroe Young Conservatives. The CND application


for a regular monthly stall for distributing literature was turned down by the Public Works and Health Committee. But the Young Conservatives’ proposal for a one-day white elephant stall in aid of the International Year of the Disabled People found favour. This was because, ac­ cording to council policy, stalls can only be used by retailers or groups raising money for charity. Borough Planning and


Technical Officer Mr Philip Bailey said that the CND application fell into neither of these categories and so could not be ap­ proved. But Clitheroe member


Coun. Bert Jones attack­ ed the. system of alloca­ tion. “I can’t understand why we turn away people who are ready to give the council money,” he said.

Coates made the highest individual score so far this season, a superb 82 out of 164 for 9 declared against Chatburn. In reply the visitors also found the wicket excellent for bat­ ting but were eventually dismissed for 131, of which Tommy Thompson made an undefeated 30 and Barry Allen 23. Shock result of the
