Praise for ‘ save school’ team


THE news that the Minister of Education has decided not to confirm the notice of closure on .Grindleton Primary School has been received with profound relief and thankfulness by the whole village.


This feeling is some­


what tempered by sad­ ness and regret that the three other schools are not able to share our good fortune. The pleasure in Grindleton and the Ribble Valley as a whole would have been so much grea­ ter if all had been able to


join in celebrations of success. Credit for our success

Prices slip at mart


AFTER last week’s buoyant


t ra d e , M ond ay’ s sale at Clitheroe Auction Mart was, to put it mildly, a sharp contrast. No graded cattle reached


lOOp and bulls fell back around 5p a kilo, while cows also slip­ ped by around 4p.


The lamb trade < continued on


the switchback this week, plunging by about 50p a kilo. There were 124 cattle and


1,380 sheep forward. Light steers made to 96.6p (average 92.9p), medium to 95p (90.6p), light heifers to 97p (94.3p),


medium to 97p (88.2p). Friesian calf bulls made to


fp


114.8p (103.4p), beef-type bulls to 119.8p (110.7p), cows to 72.6p (60. Ip). - Standard lambs made to


149.5p (135.2p), medium to 131p (123.7p), heavy to U8p (113.2p). Ewes made to £27.50 (£22.80). At Friday’s sale there were


14 in-calf and 64 store cattle forward. Calving cattle met a rather more spirited trade than a fortnight ago and store cattle were again in demand. July calving cows made to


£425, August calvers to £520, September calvers to £430 and early calving heifers to £465. Friesian heifers made to


£360, Hereford bullocks to £430, heifers to £344, Charolais bullocks to £347, heifers to £288 and Angus heifers to £362.

Van runs into shop


A CAMPING van which was being pushed to safety after breaking down in Whalley Road, Clitheroe, on Saturday, ran away and crashed into Helm’s butchers shop. There was no one in the


shop at the time and damage to the premises was slight. ’ The vehicle’s owner, from Doncaster, had parked near to the shop when he discovered smoke and flames coming from the engine, The vehicle was being


pushed by some youths, under supervision, when the accident occurred.

must go to many people both within and beyond the village and parish boundaries,’ but as always the major part of the work involved in an appeal campaign must of necessity fall on a few w i­ ling and able members of the community. May I pay particular

Words of praise


would be welcome


WHILE the Clitheroe and D is tr ic t Chamber of Trade members have been removing the bunting from the s tre e ts of Clitheroe, quite a few comments have been made to them such as, “About time too” and “We thought you were leaving it till Christmas.” These comments show a


complete lack of apprecia­ tion of the Chamber of Trade’s efforts for the


town. Normally the bunting


would have been taken down immediately after the Shopping Festival and the Heritage Fair, but the Chamber was requested to leave it up until the end of the Red Rose Fes­ tival and then until after the cycling event. The bunting is put up


by Chamber members in their own time and at no cost to anyone but them­ selves. This extended period


has meant that the bunt­ ing has been somewhat battered by the weather and will probably need some renewal. We would obviously be delighted if any reader would care to donate towards this. People are very quick


to “knock,” but encour­ agement or appreciation does not take any more effort.

sion and re-revision of the format and its wording deserves nothing but the highest praise. In the end a polished


and highly creditable document was submitted for the Minister’s consid­ eration. I believe that every­


one's thanks should go to Mrs Susan Dugdale, Mi's Carol Pye and Fr Trevor .Vaughan for the excell­ ence of the appeal, Mr C. Taylor for his invaluable


guidance and advice, Mrs Olga Leach for her Press contact work and other members of the Action Group who gave their time and assistance.


May I also express, on


behalf of everyone in­ volved within the village,


gratitude to those many individuals and organisa­ tions who gave generous


support and encourage­ ment to us in our fight to


save what we believe to be a most important part of our rural heritage.

A serious threat to health


I READ \yith great dismay that the county council has decided to use Henthorn tip as a collec­ tion centre for asbestos. In view of this, I think


local people should be made fully aware of the dangers of asbestos and of all the safety precautions which should be im­ plemented to handle this


.material. In recent weeks the na­


tional Press has highligh­ ted the “cavalier attitude” of unscrupulous contrac­ tors who handle asbestos waste material and put lives of innocent people at risk. What precautions will


the council take to pre­ vent the inadvertent tip­ ping of asbestos waste into skips designated for household waste only? Also, how will the coun­


cil monitor the haulage of | asbestos waste by con­ tractors who use Henth­ orn Road on the way to the tip? Air-bome fibres


of asbestos can pose a serious theat to the health of people who inhale the material.


' I think a public inquiry


should be held before a final decision is made on the use of Henthorn tip for asbestos waste.


Dr M. B. KAHN, Henthorn Road, Clitheroe.


Officialdom is ruining Edisford


EACH week remarks are being reported in the local Press about Edisford. The officials con­ cerned are doing a: good job with their opinions on the “no access” tneme.


No logic in video ruling


THE logic of the ruling by the Ribble Valley Council regarding the il­ legality of hiring out video cassettes on a Sunday es­ capes me. Surely the four shops


concerned are selling, not goods, but a service —


just'in the: same,.way that the warden taking money at the Edisford Caravan Park on a Sunday, or a taxi owner renting his vehicle to a passenger on a Sunday is selling a service. There are many other


industries selling their services on a Sunday and to rule against video shops in this way smacks of discrimination of the worst kind. Perhaps I am overlook­


ing some simple legal technicality but, in any event, it surely is a point worthy of public clarifica­ tion. I have no vested inter­


est in video tapes — or their hire — only in free­ dom, • democracy and justice.

Fiona’s letter is a winner


C L IT H E R O E G ir ls ’ Grammar School pupil Fiona Almond has won a first prize in the Post Office North West region letter writing competition. For winning in her age


group, Fiona (12), of Bryers Croft, Wilpshire, was awarded £100 for her­ self and a cheque for the school.


They are winning in one respect; most people are


taking their opinions for legal fact and believing they cannot use their own land or access roads if they wish to do so.


Presentation of these


reports, in my opinion, is ambiguous. Maybe the in­ tention of the council is to return to the status quo, whereby the rights of the public are respected, while balancing those with


the desires of our visitors. Hopefully so.


For the last 12 years


the Clitheroe town and Ribble Valley Councils have ahvays had a warden on the Edisford site. The warden carried out func­ tions to secure effective and efficient management of one of the finest camp­ ing and caravan sites in Great Britain without the unpleasantness getting now.


We, as residents of Clitheroe have never ob­


jected to sharing the facilities. So why, now! the change?


Officialdom stepping in


here seems to be ruining a lot of things. However, when officials are singing praises of wardens who have caused so much upset, would they sing them as loudly if they knew children were being sworn at and still being


, turned away for no appa rent reason. Please come forward


the person or persons au­ thorising this. To turn Clitheroe people off their own land — land which, in the past, they have purchased — is disgust­ ing! more so when mem­ bers of our town hall are helping them.

Bid to close footpath


A FOOTPATH once-set in glorious rural surround­ ings has been turned into a rubbish tip and hunting ground for hoodlums. Now the Ribble Valley


Council’s Housing Com­ mittee wants to close the path which runs between Mayfield Avenue and Lit- tlemoor Road. Coun.. Eric Bracewell


(Clitheroe)' told the com­ mittee that, in past years, the path had been built over and. had become an eyesore, as well as a sec­ urity risk for residents from passing gangs. There was the added


problem that no-one knew who owned the land on which the path lay.


< Deputy Planning Officer


Mr Peter Nock said that it was a definitive foot­ path and the council would have , to go through a lot of procedures to dis­ pense with it. Council solicitor Mr


Paul Timpson said that if they wanted to close the path they should contact the county council which deals with these matters. I f there were objections


they would have to be resolved by the Depart­ ment of the Environment. It was agreed to make an initial approach to the county.


Protecting


the charters A FIRE-PROOF safe is to be bought for the pro­ tection of Clitheroe' priceless, ancient char­ ters. . ■ Experts advised the


town council that the documents woulcl be much safer left with the county archivist, bearing in mind the risk of deterioration through dampness and fire.


But councillors feel the


charters should be close at hand. Sending them, to Pre­


ston would mean in­ creased handling and possible damage when they were required in Clitheroe.
