A CLEAN SWEEP


NEWCOMERS to our village, i.e. those who have made thei r homes here within the last 30 years, may not be familiar with the story of the Great Whalley Sweeping.

Wiswell, Barrow or Bil- lington was regarded as a foreigner and it was not until I had completed my 30 years’ probation that I had the temerity to offer myself as a prospective district councillor.


The Whalley Sweeping


took place because, de-' spite resolutions, petitions and pleadings from both parish and district coun- c i ls , the Lanca shire County Council resolutely refused to sweep our main streets at the weekend. That th o se s t r e e t s
