House swap law causes concern


COUNCIL house “swapping” is to be brought up at a top level meeting after a worried Kibble Valley councillor expressed fears that it could lead to an influx of problem families in the


Ribble Valley. Coun. Bill Bowker


(Chipping) wants to make representations to the Housing Committee of the Association of District


Councils. Although tenants are


within the law to swap houses — and not just with other tenants within


the confines of an authori­ ty area — Coun. Bowker feels that the law is wrong and that local au­ thorities should have a


say. “We could be importing


villains into our area and families whose children can have a very disrup­ tive influence at schools,” he told the Housing Com­


mittee. “We are fortunate in


the Ribble Valley to have such a low crime rate and our public is very trust­ ing. All it needs is a minority, just one family, and they can cause abso­


lute chaos,” he added. Coun. Bowker told


REASONS


members that swap ad­ vertisements were fea­ tured in "Exchange anti Mart” every week. “Although one has sym­


pathy with people wishing to come into our area. I think we should have a say in it. The law is wrong anti we should make representations to


try and get some safe­ guards,” he said.

amused by the anecdotes of speaker Mr J . Claxton, of Carleton, who told of the many pitfalls he had encountered on the path from his life in industrial Birmingham to self-suffi­ ciency — or almost — in rtiral Yorkshire. He was thanked by Slaidburn president Mrs B. Steen. The competition for the


most useful container was won by Mrs Enid Loxham. of Waddington, with a cheese mill. Raffle winners were Mrs M. Rushton (Dunsop Bridge). Mrs M. Wood (Wadding­ ton) and Mrs N. Kinder (Dunsop Bridge). A musical entertain­

Memorable field week for pupils


PUPILS and staff from Waddington and West Bradford CE School en­ joyed an exciting residen­ tial field week in Wales — but for one little girl it was an experience she would sooner forget. The night before the U


youngsters and two staff were due to return home. Andrea Whybrow (11), of Moor Roods, West Brad­ ford, was taken ill and a doctor called in. Luckily the field centre — Pcrfeddgoed Hall — is


close to Bangor, so when appendicitis was diag­ nosed she was taken to hospital and operated on immediately. Andrea was allowed home four days


later. The incident was an un­


fo rtun a te end to an energetic week of rock .•limbing, canoeing, orien­ teering and tackling an assault course. Supervised by centre


staff the children also climbed Snowdon and vis­ ited Beaumaris ami Puffin


island.


LUCKILY the cows at Black Moss Farm, Chip­ ping, have been turned out for several weeks — o therwise St B a r th ­ olomew's Church bar­ becue, held in the silage building there, may have been rather crowded! All 500 tickets were


sold and visitors, depend­ ing on how energetic they felt, enjoyed the disco, numerous sideshows or


the bar! The host, Mr Thomas


Airey, who is a chur­ chwarden, felt that’ the hard work of alt the hel­ pers had made the even­ ing a success, raising about £2,000 for the


church. Helpers are pictured at

Date set for Simonstone


transfer


APRIL 1st next year is the date announced by the Department of the Envi­ ronment for transferring Simonstone and the huge Milliard factory into the Ribble Valley borough — but there will be no finan­ c ia l windfall


for


ratepayers. . Although Milliard would


g e ne r a te an e x t r a £ 1 SO,0 0 0 annually in rates, this was offset by changes to Ribble Valley’s block grant allocation, so there would be no finan­ cial gain, explained Borough Treasurer Mr Gordon Onslow. Simonstone residents


expressed their wish to join the Ribble Valley as long ago as 1972 and a resolution by the parish council started the fight. Read is also to stay in


Ribble Valley and the Government has accented that to separate Milliard from Simonstone would create an anomaly.

Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday. The Bench dismissed


case against a Clitheroe youth, accused of a wounding offence, because magistrates felt that such delays were “not in the interests of justice.” Neil Spencer Coe (IS),


of Whitewell Drive, had previously elected to go


for trial and the case had been adjourned so that police could prepare papers for Crown Court committal proceedings. Cne was accused of maliciously inflicting

Mr David Parkinson,


defending, said he was ap­ plying for the case to be dismissed because the de­ fendant, who had always strenuously denied the charge, could not be ex­ pected to face further delays.


Magistrates’ clerk Mr


Idris Moorbv said that delays of this kind were happening every week, even though the prosecut­ ing solicitor's office had informed him that cases could be ready within three weeks. This particu­ lar case had already been delayed for seven weeks.


Runners top £1,000 for Sport Aid


ANDY PANDY, Noddy and Big E a r s joined forces with Superman to “Run the world" — or at least a bit of it — for Sport Aid and hope to have raised more than


£ 1,000. Behind the disguises


were more than 20 regu­ lars from the Copy Nook Hotel, Bolton-by-Bow- land, and staff from the Castle Bakery, Clitheroe. During their sponsored


run they collected about £300, with the help of a r a th e r mascul ine “policewoman" who oblig ingly stopped the traffic! Sponsorship money


should take the total over the £1,000 mark. One runner, Mark Wol fenden, hopes the Copy Nook “A-team” will be tak in g p a r t in the Roefield Barn Appeal road race a fortnight on


Sunday.

Downgrading] of bridleway at Sawley


A DISPUTED bridleway,


which forms part of the Ribble Way at Sawley, is to be downgraded to a


footpath. The decision was made


by the County Council’s Rights of Way Sub-com­


mittee, following an infor­ mal local hearing held at


Sawley. The section in question,


between Sawley Lodge Drive and the ford at Steep Wood, covers 3.S75 metres. Sawley Parish Council stated that the bridleway was no longer usable by horses, as the path had been washed


awav. The Ribble Valley


Council was unhappy about the deletion, but of­ fered no evidence. The sub- committee


found that there was in­ sufficient evidence to sup­ port the submitted claim and, subject to a right of appeal against the deci­ sion. an order should be made to downgrade it to a status of footpath only.
