Considering priorities for road schemes


FOUR proposed road im­ provement schemes in the Ribble Valley are to be examined by a special sub-committee of county councillors. With more than 60 pro­


jects pending throughout Lancashire, the Highways and Transportation Com­ mittee wants to establish some order of priority. I t has set up the sub­


committee to consider all the schemes on merit — and make site visits if necessary — before re commending which work should be done first. The total estimated cost


of the four Ribble Valley schemes is £225,000. They are: work on the


road between Grindleton almshouses and Bank Top, Sawley; another access road to St Nicholas Avenue, Sabden; provi sion of a footway on the north side of the Wad- dington to West Bradford road, and a footway in Straits Lane, Read.


Committee for Social Ser­


vices. The county committee


approved a liaison com­ mittee resolution that the county council-owned site should not be sold until the advantages of the Mencap scheme have been fully looked into. Social Services officials


decided that it would be unrealistic for the county council itself to consider using Whiteacre as a com­ munity home. But this would not ex­


clude an independent or­ ganisation such as Mencap from using it for such a purpose should it be suc­ cessful in buying the site. Planning permission has


already been granted for three possible uses. They a re a p riv a te sports ground, a holiday centre with hardstanding for 30 caravans and permanent residential use. But the liaison commit­


tee is concerned that the site may be sold off before the financial and other ad­ vantages of the Mencap plan are looked into. The liaison body feels


that the site could be used to provide facilities for a child development unit, assessment unit and local­ ly-based intermediate treatment centre. It. supports Mencap in


its claim that the use of Whiteacre for such pur­ poses would save money by cutting out the cost of having to send the men tally handicapped to such facilities outside Lanca­


shire. Mencap’s regional direc­


tor Mr Don Gittins was told by the county council some weeks ago that the Whiteacre site would not


• come on to the market until the spring. He says his organisa­ tion has the necessary


cash and is fully deter­ mined to buy the site.


Broke door glass


BREAKING a glass pane in a door at the Whalley Arms Hotel, Whalley, led to Eric Douglas Briggs (19), of Henthorn Road, Clitheroe, being fined £100 at Clitheroe for caus­ ing damage. He was or­ dered to pay £17.25 com­ pensation and £5 costs. Prosecutor Mr Peter


Roberts told the court that Briggs and his com­ panions were told they would not be served unless they removed their leather jackets. Some re­ marks were .made and B r ig g s was asked to leave. I t was then that th e g la s s pane was broken. Briggs told the court


that other people in leath­ er jackets were being served.

cil’s Recreation and Lei­ sure Committee agreed to allow Wiswell Parish Council more time for the


. playground scheme, which qualifies for a £600 recrea­ tion grant.

Trinity panto spreads a lot of happiness


IT’S panto time again at Trinity Methodist Church and Jack is once more climbing the be ans t a lk to outwit the giant. Of course, we know


that he will win, that good will overcome -evil


and everybody will live happily ever afterwards — the baddies are always the losers.


Those people who pat­


ronised Saturday even­ ing’s performance were also winners and returned home in a happy frame of mind. Spreading a little happiness is surely what this annual season of trad­ itional make-believe is all about.


That is where live en­ tertainment continues to


score. As someone was heard to remark: “This is much better than staring at the telly.” So, what had we? Jean


Avery as Jack, an elegant principal boy, ■ and Helen Coles as his sweet prin­ cess, both under the pro­ te c t io n of the F a iry Queen, in the person of Marie Haworth. They played their parts


with a quiet assurance and it is perhaps rather hard on them that their pleasing contributions had to be overshadowed, as usual, by the comedy roles. Norman Hornby as

Mother Hubbard and S tu a r t R o b in son as Simple Simon had a whale of a time prancing around with much enthusiasm and slipping in references about local places and people, and some original comic doggerel about Whalley Road — streak­ ers at Barkers, by thun­ der! — not forgetting a friendly dig at this news­ paper. The baddies — David


King as the Squire, and Roland Hailwood in the dual role of Demon King and Giant — conjured up a spirit of evil in true melodramatic fashion. The Squire sported a


tash that would have done credit to a Victorian


property owner and the Demon King appeared with horns and tail and a voice to complete the illu­ sion of the Master of Darkness. All these encountered


strong . competition from Nellie the Cow — Jean Robinson and Hazel Hail­ wood — who almost stole some of the scenes. Supporting roles were


played by Kathryn King, Stephanie Alston, Alan Dickinson, George Braith- waite and Andrew Hail­ wood. The singers , and dan­


cers, from tots to teena­ gers, were as pretty as a picture; their bright, even


dazzling, costumes adding greatly to the enchant ment of a happy evening. Organist Peter Wrigley


made an important con­ tribution in maintaining the pace and rhythm. Some hard work had


been put in behind the scenes. Staging a produc­


tion requiring 14 scenes in the limited space available was no easy task, but pantomime particularly strong on comedy was the result. The show was a great


credit to joint producer Michael Britc lif fe and Ber tha Bradshaw and musical director Dorothy Birtwell. “Jack and the Bean
