both parties, because having been both a dog owner and a victim of not being as nimble as a ballet dancer to avoid treading on dog droppings, 1 know that it can be very embar­ rassing when Fido decides it is time to answer the call of nature in a busy th o ro u g h fa r e , when maybe a few minutes before he was in the garden with no indication of wanting to do so. I have also experienced


the nauseating mistake of having put one’s foot in it and then got. into the car and transferred the evi­ dence to the foot pedals. I believe that I have a


very simple solution to the problem which should cause no embarrassment to either party. I agree with, Mr Cham­


bers when he says that owners. whose dogs foul the pavement should be fined on the spot, but I also think they should be given a chance to put right Fido’s mistake. When taking the dog


for a walk, an owner should be equipped with a plastic bag and scraper, so that the dog’s drop­ pings can be taken home and disposed of. The dog owner need not


feel ashamed and can leave the pavement clean, which is beneficial to everyone.


MR G. HARDMAN, 36 Mitton Road, Whalley.


A messy


problem THE by-law in Clitheroe of a £2 fine for dog owners who allow their animals to foul footpaths, is, like the dog licence, a laughing stock. If someone can be fined


£20 — £100 for dropping litter, surely the nauseat­ ing mess of dog excreta is worth, to say the least, an equivalent fine. Mr Richard Isherwood,


deputy Chief Environ­ mental Health Officer, stated that dog fouling is not a major health hazard in Clitheroe. On what does he base


that statement I wonder? When people go down


with stomach troubles, sickness and diarrhoea and other illnesses, it isn’t attributed to dog excreta. But many experts now believe it could be, espe­ cially in children. Mr Isherwood should


walk in our parks and on the footpaths just to see what a problem this filthy practice is/


CONCERNED. He certainly brought to


light in no uncertain terms the shortcomings of the Ribble Valley Council in providing adequate parking space in a con­ gested town centre. The existing space near


the Auction Mart is barely adequate for cars driven by the non-farming community, let alone us. We bring in produce to Clitheroe, not primarily for financial gain but for the benefit of others — good food’and perhaps a f ir s t pony for your offspring. If one of these animals,


another side to the coin. Our farm gateways are not protected by traffic wardens, but we do have to contend with three types of parking. Firstly, the Darby and


an outing, who park, burst into a field and picnic while little Willie gallops off only to return yelling his head off and his foot covered in green evil-smelling stuff while a contented cow ambles away with a grin on its •face. Last, but by no means


least, are those who park in a farm entrance and by the steamed-up appear­ ance of the windows seem to be enjoying the coun- I tryside at its best.


' “Fair parking for all”


has given me an idea. The next time my wife goes shopping in the Mini, I will suggest she takes the Range Rover and trailer — it’s easier to park!

WISWELL man Dr Robert Stephenson Ritson has died while visiting his daughter in Northern Ireland. Dr Ritson (79), of Old


Back Lane, had lived in the village for more than 20 years. He was a doctor in Accrington. He was taken ill over


Christmas at the home of his daughter, Rona, and son-in-law, the Rev. Dr Brian Kingsmore, in Col­ eraine. ■

Do streams run uphill


WE are extremely anxi­ ous. Six years ago the Ribble Valley Council kindly agreed for us to build a septic tank adjoin­ ing our house and paid us a grant to do so, to enable us to have a flush toilet. Now, only this week,


planning permission has been refused for bun­ galows to be built at the rear of the Dog and Par­ tridge, Tosside — a few hundred yards up the hill from our house — as the councillors feel that ef­ fluent from this site could pollute the drinking water of Stocks Reservoir. Our problem is this —


where does our effluent drain, as we are nearer to Stocks than they? What should we do


now? Foresake our fine flush toilet and return to using the earth closet some 30 yards away at the rear of our house, or continue polluting the re­ servoir, which incidentally is five miles. away and over the hill from our house and the proposed site of the new houses? Have the str eam s


started to run uphill at Tosside, or has Canute joined the Ribble Valley Council? Can the council throw


Joans who come/park and go for a stroll. Secondly, the family on


any light on this problem and also indicate why such a serious matter as this planning request, which had received the full and unanimous sup­ port of a very large parish meeting, could be dismis­ sed so lightly and frivol­ ously on such ludicrous grounds?

at quarry going


v . at Tosside ? well ——- L


THE reclamation of Salth- ill Quarry is progressing well despite poor weather and other early problems.


Deputy Borough En­


gineer Mr Norman Turner told the Ribble Valley Council’s Planning and Transportation Committee that work on the council’s part of the sewerage, as well as drilling through rock, was due to start this week.


It seemed certain, he


said, that all the money which had been budgeted for the sewerage work would be spent in the cur­ rent financial year.


But a written report to


the com m it te e by Borough Engineer Mr Dennis Black said that the overall expenditure in this


! financial year was ex- ! pected to fall well short of I the original estimate of ! £330,000.


I “While theconstruction- i. al contract is well on target,” said Mr Black, “due to slippage which oc­ curred in the design and programming period before the contractor came on site, it is now unlikely that this financial year’s expenditure will reach the original esti­ mate.

HOW would you like to keep fit and learn self-


,, defence at the same time? i That’s the invitation


from - the Clitheroe Fugi Club, which is looking for new members.. The club, formerly


known as Clitheroe Karate Club, has recently joined with Fugi Clubs at Blackpool, to ensure e x p e r t tu it io n for members. The club meets on Mon­


days and Wednesdays in the Clitheroe United Re­ formed Church Hall from 7-30 to 9-15 p.m. The 12 members re­


ceive black belt instruc­ tion from members of a Blackpool club and prac­ tise their flying kicks and


. punches. Club secretary Mr


Michael Hodges (32), o f | Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, said anyone from the age of. seven could join. Although there are) at present no girls, they are very welcome to attend. Mr Hodges added that


he was surprised women in the area had not taken the opportunity .to learn basic self-defence, point­ ing out that two of the Blackpool black belts are women. The members at


Clitheroe have reached various grades, the high­ est being a 1st Kyu, who is now aiming for his black belt. Anyone wishing to join


the club is welcome to go along to a meeting.
