Public inquiry! date now set for January


IT will now be next year before there can be any


further developments in the long running wrangle


over the.use of land off Woone Lane, Clitheroe, by A. J. A. Smith Trans­ port and Steadplan.


A public inquiry to con­


sider the appeal by the two firms against an en­ forcement notice served by the Ribble Valley Council will take place on January 11th.


The inquiry was plan­


ned for last month, but had to be postponed be­ cause of the illness of one of the company’s direc­ tors, who would have had to give evidence.


This was reported to


the Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s Planning and Trans­ portation Committee by solicitor Mr Paul Timson.


He added that a letter had been received from


solicitors acting for an in- dustralist at Primrose urging the council to serve a stop notice on Smith’s.


However, the drawback


with this notice was that if Smith’s won the appeal, it could claim compensa­ tion from the council.


In a recent similar case


in Worcestershire, Mr Timson revealed that the council had been faced with a £’/2m. compensation bill.
