Boy was kept off school to do business at mart


INSTEAD of attending school, a 14-year-old boy was buying and selling at the auction mart. Farmer Gerald Dakin, of Hague F arm, Sa w le y , told Clitheroe magistrates: “We depend on his ability to buy and sell.” Dakin had been sum­


moned by the Education Authority for not sending his son Peter to school regularly.


Five plans for old


laundrette


A FIFTH planning appli­ cation has been approved for the conversion of an old la u n d re t te Clitheroe. Ribble Valley council­


lors have backed an idea by Mr W. E. Howson to change the Peel Street premises into a ladies’ outfitters. It has previously been a


Co-op shop as well as a laundrette. Recent planning deci­


sions include approval for a dancing school, two ap­ provals for a taxi office and a refusal for a fish and chip shop. The Development Sub-


Committee was told that the premises were essen­ tially business in charac­ ter. The ladies’ outfitters plan should create a visual improvement and not lead to any undue impact on neighbouring properties.


Representative


ONE of Clitheroe’s rep­ resentatives on the Ribble Valley Council, Coun. Leo Wells, has been appointed to the county Transport Integration Committee.

Levy ‘unfair’ on milk producers


DAIRY farmers, including those in the Ribble Valley, should be freed from paying a special levy on their milk production to’ the EEC.


That was the message


from Mr George Mason, chairman of the Lanca­ shire. National Farmers’ Union, speaking at a meeting of members in Clitheroe. Mr Mason said the “co­


responsibility levy” was an unfair tax on milk pro­ ducers in the United Kingdom. It should be greatly reduced, if not abolished. The two per cent levy


was originally enforced to pay for the disposal of surplus dairy products. But British farmers are also subject to another levy, from the Milk Mar­


keting Board, to help pay for advertising and prom­ otional projects.


officer for the NFU, Mr David Lloyd, explained later that as there was now no surplus, money from the EEC monthly levy was ’ piling up in Brussels.

Marketing Board levy is worth it, because it pays for a lot of valuable ad­ vertising,” he said. “But the EEC payment is no­ thing more than a direct tax, which is now not paying for anything.” '


A TOTAL of £226 was raised for the Christie Hospital Cancer Re­ search Fund on Satur­ day when the Mayor of the Ribble Valley, Coun. Mr s My ra Clegg, held a coffee morning with bring- and-buy stall in the Mayor’s Parlour.

(Chatburn) thought that in fact a narrow access road was often an attrac­ tion. “Many hotels in the Lake District have similar or even worse access and they have no problems,” he said.
