Edisford site access


under review i f . i - f e


THE conflict of interest between campers and local residents at Clitheroe’s Edisford park site is becoming a storm in a teacup, Coun. Fred Green (Wilpshire) told the Ribble Valley Coun-1 cil’s Recreation and Leisure Committee.

night ago. Previously the local reservoir had been topped up with supplies carted from Clitheroe for six weeks. Weather expert Coun.


Ted Boden, of Chatburn, compared the heat-wave to the long hot summer of 1976. The hottest day of the


year so far was on Sunday, when. the Ribble Valley sweltered at 86 deg F in the shade. This had risen from 82 degrees on Saturday and fell to 77 deg F on Monday. Occasional showers of


rain forecast early in the week missed Clitheroe and dropped in the Hel- lifield to Skipton area. As Ribble Valley Coun­


cil parks staff watched lawns and flowers shrivel in parks and public places and bowling greens dry up, the council stopped washing its vehicles. Bowland Forestry Com­


mission employees have been keeping a careful eye on their parched woodland. A spokesman said the


public were being very careful and it had not yet been necessary to restrict access. ‘ However, fire brigade officials appealed to the public to take care with matches, picnic stoves and fires while out in the countryside. Chemists report a boom


in sales of sun tan creams and insect repellant. How­ ever, the heatwave has been anything but the bees knees for the coun­ cil’s pest control officer, Mr Les Bullen. He has dealt, with more


than 150 wasp nests in the past couple of weeks. Mr Bullen said: “We


P i


only deal with nests which are a danger to the public around their homes and ensure that elderly people receive priority.” Mr Bullen sprays


strong insecticide on the nests, destroying them within 20 seconds. On Tuesday night there


was a brief respite with a sudden downpour in the Clitheroe area. But it only yielded about a tenth an inch.

of


public is, being denied access by the site warden were considered, but it was agreed that the Cara­ van Club of Great Britain, which took over the run­ ning of the site in April, was doing a good job. It was decided to take


no action, but to review the situation at the end of the season, following an earlier move to separate the camp site from the play area. Coun. Green said: “This


is one of the best camp sites in the North of Eng­ land. We must have a warden there and if that is a bit of law and order, what is wrong with that?” One dissenting voice


was that of Coun. John Nuttall (Clitheroe), who said he was a keen


caravanner himself. ‘The Caravan Club can


be rather insular in some of its attitudes,” he said. Some of the most attrac­


tive caravan sites have public access and for the Ribble Valley Council to hand over the whole of the site to the club is


wrong.” He was particularly


concerned that local chil­ dren should have access to the swings, which were little used other than by caravan club members. A report to the council


said that although it had been agreed the public should be restricted from the camping area, this did not affect in any way the public right of way along the riverbank. “ It is not intended that


the public will be auto­ matically stopped from entering the site, but that, if necessary, there is some control over access through the area,” ' the report stated. Mr Peter Nock, Deputy


Planning and Technical Officer, told the meeting: “The warden has been doing a very good job and has been told not to stop people going through unless they are causing trouble:” ..................


BMX track site is chosen


A SITE near St Paul’s T e r ra c e , Low Moor, would be the best place in Clitheroe for a BMX cycle track, Ribble Valley Council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee has agreed. The committee came


out in favour of a 160- name petition calling for such a site off the road where youngsters can practice their cycle stunts complete with crash pads and helmets. “Whether this is just a


passing craze or not, we will have to see,” com­ mented committee chair­ man Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg (Wiswell).

Smashed window


AFTER being told by his estranged wife that a re­ conciliation was out of the question, a Clitheroe man started shouting and swearing at her and | smashed a window. At Clitheroe Magis-1


trates’ Court, Michael Harry Alston (34), of Talbot Close, was fined £50 for damaging proper­ ty and ordered to pay | £14.37 compensation. Alston also admitted I


conduct whereby a breach of the peace was likely to | be occasioned. He was fined a further I

Grant for football stand is


increased


A PLEA by the chairman of Clitheroe FC for more cash help towards the cost of providing a stand has been heard by the Ribble Valley Council’s Recrea­ tion and Leisure Com­ mittee. The committee agreed


to increase its grant to the club by a further £380 to £750 to help meet the cost of the £2,700 project at Shawbridge. The club was said,to be


£4,000 overdrawn on its current account, but showing profits o f -£1,600 on the bar accounts. Mr Cyril Whiteside,


club chairman, said: “Our future as a leading non­ league soccer club is in


jeopardy and we might not be able to take our place in the North West Counties Football League Division II if this work is not carried out. ‘When considering our


plight, please remember the 300 townspeople who watch our games each week, not forgetting the Clitheroe Cub Scout packs for whom Shawbridge is


their Wembley.” He added that local


firms and schools benefit from using the ground.


Funbus is operating again


IT’S all aboard for the summer “Funbus” service

Tourist interest grows


WITH the holiday season in full swing, there has been an unprecedented in­ crease in the number of postal inquiries for tourist information, the Ribble Valley Council’s Recrea-


| .tion and Leisure Commit­ tee was told. In the first six months


of 1984 there were 1,296 postal inquiries compared with 1,031 for the whole of 1983.


' Personal inquiries also


increased, with 4,095 for April, May and June, compared with 3,660 for the same period in 1983. The increases were due


to extensive promotion and advertising, said Mr Brian Manning, Deputy Town Clerk, who re ported that the theatre booking service was con­ tinuing -to be much ap­ preciated.

Busy time on sheep farms


THOUSANDS of sheep will be ’ passing through dipping baths at Ribble Valley farms during the next few weeks.


The Ministry of Ag­


riculture has asked far­ mers to pay special atten­


tion to dipping this year following the spread of sheep scab. Flocks must be dipped


between Sunday and August 11th and Sep­ tem b e r ' 23rd and November 3rd. Stringent requirements


are laid down for the movement of sheep during dipping periods and li­


cences must be obtained, except for the movement of sheep from farm to farm for dipping pur­ poses. NFU officials have been


concerned in organising a mass round up of sheep in the uplands to ensure that no possible carriers, of sheep scab are missed.


Weekend peace is shattered at Sabden


WORKERS at a Sabden factory are bringing the early morning blues to local residents, claimed an angry householder in a letter to the Parish Council.


He says weekends are


ruined for residents of Watt Street by lorry driv­ ers from the Pendle Fur­ niture factory who start revving up their engines as early as 7 a.m. on Sundays. “ F o r the last few


months these lorries have been operating — and not quietly but'with excessive engine noise,” he wrote. The resident added that


it should not be necessary for staff to work on Satur­ day and Sunday mornings when they finish early on


Fridays. In a letter, which was


read to members of the council, he also com­ plained about “mess and rubbish” created by the factory and the disturb­ ance caused by workers who, he claimed, were using Watt Street as a car park. He asked for the help of


the Parish Council and said that if nothing was done he would contact a higher authority. He added that he had already contacted the firm. Coun. Norman Cromp­


ton told members: “As a resident of Pendle Street I endorse a lot of these complaints.” The council resolved to


reply to the resident and to contact the manage­ ment at Pendle Furniture. Other matters consi


dered by the council in­ cluded the report of the annual audit given by the clerk, Mr Jim Hewitt Coun. Michael McCrerie


outlined the. findings of a consultative document en­ couraging tourism in the Forest of Bowland area of natural beauty. Members welcomed


Sabden’s new representa­ tive on the Ribble Valley authority, Coun. Albert Atkinson, who will serve on the Recreation and Leisure and Housing com­ mittees. The next meeting is on in


August 7th at 7-30 p.m, the Methodist Rooms.

Sale signs removed at hall


CLITHEROE’S St John Ambulance Hall has been taken off the market just a few days after being put up for sale. The hall has become in­


creasingly difficult to maintain because of rising overheads and planning permission was granted recently to change its use to either office or residen­ tial purposes. It was advertised for


sale two weeks ago, but , the signs were quickly whisked down again. District chairman Mr


Derek Lund explained that, due to a mix-up, the hall was advertised for sale without the permis­ sion of the Association’s Commissioner-in-Chief in London. A m e e t in g o f the


Clitheroe branch is to be held at the end of August to determine the future of the building. Even if the hall is sold,


the branch, which has 12 adult members and nine cadets, will continue to- operate.


Fined £200


A RIBBLE Valley licen­ see blamed pressure of work for failing to furnish tax returns. At Clitheroe Magis­


trates’ Court, Richard Bowman, o f


the


Whitewell Inn, Whitewell, was fined £200 with £25 costs for an offence under the Value Added Tax Act. The court heard that


Bowman’ s tax return should have been made on February 29th but was not submitted until June 5th.


11


Mr Charles Nutter, de­


fending, said the amount was paid in' full on June 5th — 16 days before he received the summons. It was purely an ad­


ministrative error which, would not happen again.
