VICAR of St Leonard’s Church, Langho, for the past five years, the Rev. Paul Warren is to


take up a new post in the Blackburn Diocese in the summer. He will take over a dual


role — half his time will be spent as chaplain to the Bishop, the Rt Rev. Stewart Cross, and the remainder as resident chaplain at Whalley Abbey. The bulk of his work


with the Bishop will in­ volve administration and acting as a personal assis­ tant. At Whalley, where he


THE recent discussion document concerning jrimary schools in the Nibble Valley is a bad


one. It is bad because it is


divisive. It has effectively set Church of England schools against Roman Catholic schools and com­ munities. It has divided one vil­


lage against its neighbour. It has set village against town. It is bad because it is


innacurate. It states that the Ribble Valley may ex- serience a shortage of lousing land in the longer


term.” This is not so. Eighty


acres of land has been set aside for housing develop­ ment and this could ac­ commodate 600 to 800

houses — potential for significant growth in the number of children. It is bad because it is


incomplete. We are una­ ware of the outcome of discussions with the Roman C a th o lic au­


thorities. How can consideration


be given to the situation within a village of two schools when only one of those schools has so far come within the scope of the survey? The way the Lancashire


County Council has so far handled the problem is inept to say the least. Not all the blame, how­


ever, can fall on the shoulders of the county. It is, after all, acting under the direction of central government which has ordered local educa­


Ill I


tion authorities to “take out of use” surplus prim- . ary school places and has calculated financial sup­ port for local authorities on. the presumption that this is being done. I quote from Clitheroe


Division MP David Wad- dington’s general election leaflet: “We must see that our villages keep their schools and remain live and v ig o r o u s com ­ munities.” P e rha p s he could


remind his colleagues in the Department of Educa­ tion and Science of this, because since the date his election leaflet was circu­ lated a number of schools the district have al- closed and under

planning authorities rec­ ognise the role they have to play, and that decisions should take account of the desire and need of young families to live in villages. Appropriate housing

Trees


mg ing


ING


MORE than £2,000 is to be spent by the Ribble Valley Council on tree planting and their mainte­ nance on public land. • The cost of planting 700


trees will be £2,390 and the maintenance of 575 others will be £143.


Guidance sought


A GOVERNMENT in­ spector is being asked to clarify his comments, in a report which dismissed an appeal for a barn conver­ sion at Bolton-by-Bow- land.


The R ib b le Valley


Council’s Planning and Technical Officer Mr Philip Bailey told the De­ velopment Sub-Committee that he was concerned at a number of contradic­ tions in the report about a barn near Bay Gate Cot­ tage, Bay Gate. He feared these might interfere in the future with the coun­ cil’s policy on barn con­ versions.


But Coun. Mrs Joyce


Lilburn (Bolton-by-Bow- land) who had been at the hearing, said she thought the inspector had done it deliberately as he be­ lieved it was a border-line case.


The council is to ask for


further clarification of the reasons for the decision as a guide for the future.

Bypass sign a monstrosity


RETURNING to Clitheroe, having had a most enjoyable Easter holiday visiting Cambridge and touring in North Norfolk, we were remark­ ing how beautiful Pendle Hill and the surround­ ing countryside looked in the evening sun, when just 'before turning off the by-pass into Clitheroe we were confronted by the monstrous sign drawing attention to historic Clitheroe.


We were so appalled


that we almost swerved off the road onto the grass verge. I am not opposed to the idea of encouraging tour­


ists to visit and shop in Clitheroe, thus bringing more prosperity to the town, but fe e l very strongly that the new sign provided by the Clitheroe and District Chamber of Trade really does leave a very great deal to be de­ sired, and is a blot on the landscape.- For the council that has


been very concerned to preserve the character of the rural environment through scrupulous vet­ ting and modification to planning proposals, to have allowed this sign to have been erected is in­ comprehensible. Could it be that the


planning committee was by-passed or perhaps Nelson was at work? P le a s e D is t r ic t


Chamber of Trade try again! "


MRS LESLEY HYDE, “Northmede,” Ribblesdale Avenue, Clitheroe.


Help is


at hand DURING the spring and summer quite a lot of or­ ganisations throughout the Ribble Valley will be o r g a n is in g ou t -d o o r events. As chairman of the


Ribble Valley Disabled Action Group could I remind organisers that mobile toilets for the dis­ abled can be hired from the R ib b le V a l le y Borough Council, free of charge. So that if a disabled


person wanted to go to an event he or she would not have to worry about toilet facilities. ALUN JOHNSON, 35 Larigshaw Drive, Clitheroe.


Nuclear film


CLITHEROE CND is in­


viting the public to a showing of the film “A Guide to Armageddon,” which deals extensively with the hypothetical ef­ fects of a one megaton bomb being dropped on St Paul’s Cathedral.


The film, first shown on


television last August, begins at 8 p.m., on Monday, at the Ambu­ lance Hall, Church Brow.


It will be accompanied


by a short cartoon, enti­ tled “Pretend You’ll Sur­ vive,” dealing with the futility of Civic Defence programmes.


: Those who attend the show will be able to see


the group’s Peace Exhibi­ tion and newly-acquired Civil Defence exhibition. The organisers hope the


films and exhibitions will stimulate a discussion among the audience i many aspects of the nuc-


■ lear threat.. Fined £25


FOR using a motorcycle without. L-plates, provi­ sional licence holder Frank. George Smalley. (19), o f Tower Hill, Clitheroe, was fined £25, with £5 costs, by the town’s magistrates.


Don’ t blame the dogs


I AGREE wholeheartedly


with “Concerned” about the mess caused by dogs, particularly at the Castle Field where children play.


It would be foolish to


blame the dumb animals — it’s the dumb owners who are at fault.


I suppose the inconsid­


erate dog owners are in the minority for most do care what happens to their pets. Perhaps if the licence


fee was raised substantial­ ly this would sort out the true, caring dog lovers. Alte rna t iv e ly , a fine should be imposed on' owners whose dogs roam about unleashed. I do not have a dog


(although I would like one) because it is a big responsibility to look after one properly. Perhaps some dog- owners • should have thought a bit more before taking on their pets.


CONCERNED MUM.


One way solution


THE Duck Street junc­ tion headache (Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, April 7th issue) could surely be removed by making Duck Street one way only eastwards (Well- gate to Waterloo) and the northern section of Shaw­ bridge Street one way only northwards (towards Wellgate).

Licence for


supermarket BOOTH’S new Clitheroe supermarket was this week, granted a licence to sell alcohol, despite objec­ tions from a wine mer­ chants. Applying for a new jus­


tices licence, at Clitheroe Magistrates’ Court, Mr Edwin Booth, the firm’s wine sales director, said the new store would have' 12,000 sq. ft. of selling space of which 700 sq. ft.


would be a wine area. Mr Andrew Byrne, ob­


jecting on behalf of D. Byrne and Co. wine mer­ chants, of King Street, said there were already enough premises in the area selling intoxicants and that no more were, needed.

With so many to choose from and so many gimmicks and so called special offers it is extremely difficult to decide who is going to do the right job at a fair price. You will be making a big decision with a lot of hard earned money involved, so don’t be rushed into anything. Take your time and get it right.


IN THE MIDST OF ALL THIS CONFUSION YOU HAVE SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER.


WHO DOES THE FITTING? WHO DOES THE ELECTRICS? DOES A WINDOW OR DOOR NEED REPLACING? DOES A DOORWAY NEED BLOCKING UP?


Having chosen the units, appliances and accessories. WHO DOES THE PLUMBING? WHO DOES THE TILING? WHAT ABOUT THE FLOOR? DOES A NEW DOORWAY NEED CREATING?


Who will put in a MATCHING WOOD CEILING? (should you require it). At the end of the day who GETS RID OF ALL THE RUBBISH.


How many firms and sub-contractors will need to be involved to get a satisfactory answer to all these questions.


THE ANSWER SHOULD BE ONE! A true kitchen specialist should have all these services available (and


more). He should have a wide selection of furniture, appliances and accessories


to choose from. He should have working models on display for demonstration. He should have experienced staff always available to help solve your problems and answer your queries and of course a survey, planning and


design service. Before you finally make your decision be sure to consult one of the few
