PLANS to twin Whalley with the French town of Ruffec have been brought a step nearer. For a “twinning com

Mr Tom Boothroyd led the party from Four Lane

H. L. BLACKBURN Clitheroe
Churchyard is everyone's problem Letters to the Editor
The matter is not the
be buried in the parish graveyard if there is room “without payment for the ground they occupy” (fees only being charged for the clergyman’s services and for the right to erect a monument).
However, since the.
Burial Act of 1855, the law has made provision that, when the Privy Council makes . an order for closure (which allows the use of existing graves but forbids the making of new ones), the local au
thority shall maintain the churchyard “in decent order” upon request.
Surely no one would
expect this to be a charge only on those parishioners who do their duty and attend the church. This provision has been repe ated in every Local Gov ernment Act since and is in Section 215 of the Act of 1972. This can hardly be called “a loophole in the law,” but is an enact ment which is just and equitable.
Look forward in unity
not backward
I WOULD not wish to enlarge on the remarks contained in Mr K. Pickup’s letter in last week’s Advertiser and Times, other than to agree with much of what he has to say regard ing the imposition of the lOp per hour charge on pensioners wishing to play bowls at tne Castle. However, I feel I must
comment on the final pa ragraph of his letter in which he states that with
hindsight Clitheroe made
-.sential characteristics of a mistake in throwing in the^ enlarged area? its lot with our rural friends and neighbours, whose representatives, he asserts, appear to want to maintain for eve r the
Ten years on from reor fiarish pump approach to
ocal government. Mr Pickup must surely
be aware that Clitheroe had little or no choice, but neither had our rural friends, all of whose elected representatives were perfectly happy to continue as they were controlling the affairs of their own urban or rural districts. Governments of both
complexions had decided that there had to be amal gamations of smaller au th o r it ie s in order to create, in their words, larger'and more effective units of local government. The reorganisation of
1974 gave Clitheroe, and the six other authorities which now form the Ribble Valley Borough Council, the stark choice of either forming them selves into a rural-type authority or being swal lowed up by one of their adjoining large neigh bours, whose urban and industrial problems are quite different from those which exist in a predomi nately rural area. .I t is accepted that the
present amalgamation may not be perfect — how could it be otherwise
ganisation it is surely time that we stopped re ferring to the difficulties created by amalgamation and concentrated rather on the many issues which should bind us together for the common good. In achieving this good,
Clitheroe, with its proud history and traditions, can and must play., an influen tial part, at the same time acknowledging the legiti mate rights and aspira tions of the other merging authorities who have also been obliged to make sac rifices for the common good. As one who has served
as an officer of both the old Clitheroe Borough and the. new Ribble Valley Borough Council, I am bound to say let us look forward in unity, not backward with .regret, and consider ourselves fortunate to have retained our area, rather than see it carved up among our larger neighbours with all that would entail. With a firm commit
ment to succeed we can do much to preserve and develop our area which is. the envy of not only our neighbours but of many regions beyond.

BRACEWELL Primrose Street, Clitheroe
Advice from an expert ERIC
when seven separate au thorities have given up their independence in order to safeguard the e s - ;
concern of the Church Commissioners, a much maligned organisation which has magnificently husbanded the resources of the- church since, the war so that the clergy receive more than a mere pittance.
1 .... Nor is it a matter for
Blackburn Diocesan offi cials, except that it i s ' necessary to obtain a fa culty for work done in or around a church which is the church’s safeguard against anything being undertaken which de tracts from our heritage.
The Local Government
Councils gave
their all
WHAT complete and utter rubbish flows from the pen of your, correspon dent Mr R. Pickup (who really ought to know better). In your issue of June
14th he wrote — I quote — “Of the seven au tho r it ie s forming the - Ribble Valley Borough Council, only Clitheroe and Longridge gave their all.” Completely untrue, Mr
Pickup. Both the named authorities retained a number of items including their civic regalia. On the other hand, the
Clitheroe Rural District Council and the Bowland Rural District Council gave absolutely every thing — regalia, offices, fu rn ish in g s , hou sing stock, depots, vehicles, fi nancial as sets , every thing. The Blackburn, Burnley and Preston RDCs in
■ proportion (for parts of their areas were absorbed in other new authorities)
' also gave their all. They had to — there was nobody left to retain it! . And f in a l ly ( i f my
natural modesty did not forbid it) I would add that the authorities named also gave the • Ribble Valley some excellent staff and councillors.
JIMMY FELL, 7 Limefield Avenue, Whalley
'
Saying thanks in style
Act of 1972 recognises the fact that anomohes still remain. ' It sometimes happens
that a very old part of the churchyard has to be maintained by a particular church because a new part is still in use. • Christ Church, Chat-
burn, is an example. The maintenance of the south side of the church is the r e sp o n s ib i lity o f the Parochial Church Council, although it is no longer used for burials, because the north side; is still the burying place of the com munity. (It is interesting to note
that all burials were on the south side of a church
■ until the 19th century, except those of excom municates or those who “had laid violent hands upon themselves”.) The 1972 Act makes it
possible for the local au thority to make some con tribution or. actually take over the cost of mainte nance in cases like Chat- bum. The sum of £330,000 for
rebuilding a wall at Chip ping seems to me to be dramatic Hyperbole. How ever, whatever is the final amount necessary for the Ribble Valley Council to carry out the require ments of the law, if that sum is divided by the numbers of years that the church in Chipping has made provision for the burying of the dead of the whole community, it will be found to be a modest enough first contribution.

MEMBERS of the Ribble Valley Disabled Action Group know how to say “thank you” in a big way. They provided a buffet
meal with entertainment at Clitheroe Parish Hall for 50 members of the 76 Club . . . as a “thank you” for paying their rent for a social evening in the hall once a month. Said the group’s acting
chairman, Mrs Prue Birt wistle, of Barrow: “The event was a huge suc cess.” Guests were ente r
tained by singer Mrs Bar bara Watson, accom panied oh the piano by Mr Geoffrey Hitcnen, both of Clitheroe. Mrs Nellie Kay, of
Clitheroe, recited poems and Mr Wilf Graham, of Barrow, was compere and comedian. A raffle raised £10 for
funds. Ladies of the committee
pr ep a r ed the b u f fe t supper and sandwich fil lings were donated by Harrison and Kerr, of King Street, Clitheroe.
