now held by the County, the Borough Council and Ribble Motors to discuss proposed changes and alt­ erations in bus services and it was as the result of the first of these meetings th a t Ribble V a l le y , through Mr Philip Baijey, Planning and Technical Officert voiced its fears in a letter to the chairman of the County Transporta­ tion Committee. The County is examin­


ing its subsidy policy and has asked local councils for their views about the future transport policy


Madam president


NEW president of the Inner Wheel Club of Blackburn, Mrs Wendy Smith, of Rogersfield, Langho, was installed this


week. Mrs Smith has been a


member of the club for seven years, joining when she and her husband, Donald, a member of Pre­ ston Rotary Club, moved from Kent to Lancashire. Mrs Smith’s theme for


the year will be expansion and fellowship. She is a founder.member of the St Leonard’s Friendship

Antique fairs


SUBJECT to conditions, the .Development Control Sub-committee of the Ribble Valley Council has approved the holding of small monthly antique fa ir s at the Hodaer Bridge Hotel, Chaigley. The fairs may be held


only on the first Sunday in the month, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and li­ mited to a maximum of 15 stalls. The p e rm is s ion is


granted for a period of four months, unless renewed.


CLITHEROE and Dis­ trict Chamber of Trade scored a narrow victory over the Ribble - Valley Council in their annual bowling match in the Castle grounds. A hard-fought, but


friendly match was de­ cided in the final four­ some’s last “end.” The council’s Chief Ex­


ecutive and Town Clerk Mr Michael Jackson de­ scribed the evening- as “very satisfactory” and added he hoped to ar­ range a business meeting sh o r t ly w ith th e Chamber. Afterwards, the com­


£


p etitors went to the Castle Restaurant for supper, during which a competition to identify childhood photographs provided amusing enter­ tainment. Mr Jackson (left) and


meetings are programme, which hints • ~


at greater support for local authority services. Ribble V a l ley , Mr


Bailey said in his letter, would be very. concerned if any change in the dis­ tribution of the transport subsidy adversely affected the area’s bus services. The service from Black­


burn to Downham is under review by Ribble pending the introduction of more one-man buses. Downham is served by double-deckers and there has always been a prob­ lem in turning them for the return journey.


Ribble is considering


terminating the 232 ser­ vice at Chatburn and run­ ning the 253 Clitheroe to Rimington bus . into Dow­ nham. The latter bus runs twice daily in each direc­ tion from Monday to Friday. Downham will also con­


tinue to be served by the 201 midibus and while there would be frequency reduction on the Dow­ nham service, Ribble says that the proposed alterna­ tive would appear to serve the village’s needs. The main' problem


would be on Saturdays and Ribble has asked the Ribble Valley Council and Downham Parish Council for their views on the most suitable time for service to Clitheroe on Saturdays.


—Rubbish skip sites‘becoming eyesores’


INDISCRIMATE tippers are turning rubbish skip sites at Henthorn Road, Clitheroe, and the Petre Arms, Langho,. into disgraceful eyesores, Coun. Peter Nuttall told a meeting of Clitheroe Town Council.


He was commenting on


Lancashire County Coun­ cil’s refusal to provide , a skip at Shawbridge be­ cause of “extensive prob­ lems of litter and nuisance at permanent unattended skip sites” and the fact th a t w a s te d isp o sa l facilities are available within two miles of Shaw­ bridge at Henthorn.


GALA WEEKEND AT LOW MOOR


A LARGE crowd took part in the annual gala day at St Paul’s, Low Moor, on Saturday, when the highlight was the crowning of the new rose queen, Miss Debbie sooth. Other


eluded sports, sideshows stalls, all

members of St Paul’s Sunday School. There were also afternoon teas provided by the MU. Debbie, of St Paul’s Close, who wore an outfit


of white, lilac and purple, succeeded Miss Ann Marie Driver. The crowning ceremony was performed by Mrs


, page David Nuttall. The gala weekend was


rounded off on Sunday with a family communion service to mark the Sunday School anniver­


sary. Guest preacher was


Canon Edward Wynne who gave an amusing sermon, well received by a congregation including the Mayor and Mayoress of Clitheroe, Coun. and Mrs Bob Ainsworth. The Alternative Ser-


Rivalry on bowling green


vices Book 1980 was dedi­ cated during the service, which was conducted by the v ica r , the Rev. Arthur Siddall. The rose queen read a


lesson and Sunday School members sang a hymn and were presented with good attendance certifi­ cates. Three new Cub Scouts were enrolled. After Communion there


was a procession of wit­ ness round Low Moor, led by Slaidburn Silver Band. A buffet lunch was then served in the parish hall.

“The mess around the


Henthorn Road skip is an absolute disgrace," said Coun. Nuttall. “People most of them with cars and many of them traders and building contractors, who are not supposed to use the skip anyway, come along and just throw their rubbish anywhere.”


The Mayor, Coun. Bob


Ainsworth, pointed out that many elderly people in the Shawbridge area of town found it difficult to take rubbish to Henthorn. Coun. Bert Jones sug­ gested that it might have been a good idea to have a skip at Shawbridge for a trial period.


Coun. Brian Braith-


waite, however, said that the Ribble Valley Council provided a perfectly good free rubbish collection service for anyone who had difficulty transporting rubbish to Henthorn.
