Not happy with rent increase
A M O VE to charge Ribble Valley Council an
eight-fold rent increase for a car park in Chipping
has fa l len on stony ground. Members of the Plan
ning and Transportation C om m it te e have in structed officials to re negotiate the £200 a year sou ght by C hip p ing Memo rial Hal l Com mittee.
Council solicitor Mr
Paul Timson explained that the former Clitheroe BDC rented the car park for £25 a year in 1972. It was to have been on
a 21-year lease, but no formal document was ever signed.

wanted the agreement on a formal basis and a new 15-year lease at a rent of £200 a year had been pro visionally agreed. However, Court. Geof
frey Ainsworth (Clayton- le-Dale) said that land values had . not risen to this extent and his motion for renegotiation was unanimously approved.
Objections to making up road
RESIDENTS in Stubbins Lane, Sabden, have ob
jected to plans by Lanca shire County Council to improve their road under the private street works scheme. Their main claim is that
the street is an ancient highway in existence before 1835. I f this is cor rect, the County Council will have to foot the bill for the improvements, in stead of the residents. Some people are also
concerned that an im proved road will speed up traffic and they claim the work is not necessary. However, the County
Council is disputing the ancient highway claim and Ribble Valley Council sol icitor Mr Paul Timson says the matter is likely to be resolved in the magistrates’ court. De signing for the scheme is already underway.

Second thoughts on fire-proofing rule for home
THE owners of Highbrake, a Clitheroe nursing home, feel they will be forced to live off the premises if the Ribble Valley Council insists on fire-resistant strips being installed on doors in the home.

of Friday’s reaction by children. Mrs Barbara Blezard,
o f F ran k l in Street, claimed that- on average there would be some delay or 'incident at the gates once a week. Her next- door neigh-
b o u r , Mrs B a rb ara Eagles, has often had to rush round via Henthorn to collect her seven year- old son, Matthew, from St James’s School. “What worries me is
the fact that some chil dren come home on their own, and wonder what to do when they arrive at the gates,” she said.
Litter Meanwhile Mr King,
whose shop looks directly on to the crossing, consid ers that local council offi cials should ask British Rail to keep the site tidy. “There is rubbish and
litter and old planks all around. There is even an Elsan toilet cubicle left from when they de molished the signalbox a few years ago,” he said. Up to 1976 there were
large traditional gates at the crossing. But these and the signalbox were demolished by a runaway goods train, and Conti nental-style barriers came into use there in July 1979.
No insurance
FOR using a car without insurance, Gary John Hughes (19), of York Street, Clitheroe, was fined £70 by the town’s magistrates. He was also fined £20
and ordered to pay £21.25 back duty for not having an excise licence and or dered to pay £6 costs. The defendant told the
court that he had taken the car for an MoT. He was driving it home after wards when the police
stopped him. NEW BN CLITHEROE Ui.TERAFRiUMlE

Whiteside, who lives with her husband, Peter, and two young children on the top floor of the home in Chatburn Road, says that she would not feel safe behind doors which might be sealed. “There are nine doors
between us and the front entrance,” she said. “ I f there was a fire and the doors, became sealed, we would be beyond help. It’s a pretty frightening pros pect.” Mrs Whiteside told our
reporter that she and her husband would rather buy another house locally then live there, if the council is insistent on the strips. However, this would
mean they would not be immediately available, in case o f emergencies, whereas at the moment they can be on the scene within 35 seconds of an alarm being raised. At a meeting of the
Council’s Development Sub-Committee, an appli cation by the Whitesides for a relaxation of the regulation was deferred for further information. But Coun. Howel Jones
(Clitheroe) said that the couple had “ bent over backwards” to satisfy the regulations and these strips had been brought up after the original plans were approved. A report before the
committee said that if the strips are to be omitted, the applicant will have to prove the doors meet pre sent standards, which call for a 30-minute fire-resist ance period. Members also heard
there is already a fire alarm system installed, with smoke and heat de tectors which would give early warning of a fire.
