MPs look at Bowland early warning link


THE role which an under­ ground bunker at Bolton- by-Bowland plays in the nationwide nuclear early warning system was ex­ plained to three local MPs and a Government minis­ ter on Saturday._

This procedure is part


of the United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation, the aim of which is to avoid large- scale casualties in a radioactive fall-out.


The set-up, in a field at


Bolton-by-Bowland, im­ pressed MPs David Wad- dington, John Watson and John Lee, who represent Clitheroe, Skipton and Nelson and Colne respec­ tively. They were accompanied


on the three-hour briefing and visit by Mr Kenneth Baker, Minister of State for Industry and Informa­ tion Technology. The early warning post


was established about 25 ' years ago at Bolton-by- Bowland. Before that, it was used for aircraft re­ connaissance. Its staff today com­


prises volunteers from all walks of life, including a local government officer, an insurance broker and textile and waterways workers. Head observer is bank manager Mr An­ thony Hawksworth. Their tasks would be to

Foster parents invite questions


RIBBLE Valley Foster Parents’ Association members will be on hand at Chipping Show in August in support of the campaign to attract foster parents.


They will be happy to


discuss fostering with anyone interested and will be handing out leaflets and running a painting competition. At recent meetings of the association, Mr Bert


Cockcroft who works with the mentally handicapped, and Mr J. Martin, of Clitheroe Social Services, talked about their respec­ tive fields of interest. Mr Cockcroft, who was


accompanied by the mothers of three mentally handicapped children, runs a club for adults in Clitheroe every Wednes­ day evening. Anyone who would like a mentally- handicapped relation to


attend should contact him at the Social Services Office (Tel. 25145).


Mr Martin, a senior,


social worker, described his work, particularly with the elderly. He also emphasised the area’s acute shortage of long and short-stay residential homes, but could not fore­ see any improvement in


\the near future. The Foster Parents’ As­


sociation is planning a mini-market at Chipping Village Hall in Sep­ tember. Anyone willing to contribute items for sale or to help should contact the secretary Mrs M. Knowles (Ribchester 391).

delighted by the way in which the MPs’ visit went and said afterwards that they had shown a keen interest in the post’s role. Mr Waddington re­


marked that the early warning system was a matter of the greatest im­ portance to the people of Britain. “Whether or not we are


involved in a nuclear war ourselves, the more pre­ cautions like this we have, the more survivors there


.will be,” he said. ■Mr Waddington is seen
