LETTERING ‘TOO BIG’


A PROPOSAL to adver­ tise the Northcote Manor R e s ta u ran t , Langho, using 18-inch high pers­ pex letters which would be visible from the Petre roundabout has been re­ fused by the Ribble Valley Council’s Develop­ ment Sub-committee, be­ cause such a sign would be detrimental to the sur­ rounding landscape. But councillors agreed


to send a letter to the applicant saying that smaller, less obtrusive let­ te r in g would have a better chance of being ap­ proved.
