Bypass parking danger
I CANNOT help worrying for motorists visiting Clitheroe who decide to use the . inner bypass (A671). This road is all right provided it remains free of parked cars. However, there only
I - ^
need be one or two — on the road by the junction with Holden Street — to cause congestion. When this happens, vehicles travelling in the Whalley direction, are forced to straddle the centre mark ings when overtaking and are then in danger from
oncoming traffic. This could easily upset
visitors who are not famil iar with the town’s roads.
THE star of the show . . . that’s J.R., the lov able basset hound which claimed first place in the pet show at Ribbles- dale School’s summer

RIGHT SCHOOL
I WOULD like to pay tri bute to Wiswell and Barrow School.
My child suffers from
various educational dif ficulties. After two years at a special school he moved to Barrow only nine months ago. The progress he has made in such a short time is quite remarkable. Instead of considering
the smaller type of school for closure would it not be a good idea to use some of the extra places for chil dren with educational dif ficulties such as my son.

years, would they learn the simple fundamentals of paying for their own purchases and receiving the individual attention of a caring shopkeeper. Also, how often, when
boredom sets in, do some people go to the village store for some insignific ant purchase simply for the chance of a little light hearted chatter. Finally, I would ask
people to consider the plight of the elderly and physically disabled who have to rely on the village store or post office for help and consideration far beyond the comprehension of your correspondents. For instance, do they
not look for the communi ty support of the whole village when the village school comes under threat of closure.

Brass did not mislabel the fish to make a profit, but th ou gh t that a box marked “block” could con sist of either haddock or whiting.
Check led to three

WHEN a policeman stop ped a motor cyclist for a routine check o f his machine, it led to three summonses, Clitheroe magistrates were told. William Downham Par-

defending, said Parking- ton had not taxed and tested the machine be cause he was trying to sell it. Concerning the driving
licence offence, he had a provisional one, but fol lowing changes in the law in January, it did not permit him to use a 250 c.c. machine.
