ing aware of the hick of facilities that exist in the community for the care of these people and of the frustration felt at the kick of consultation over clo­ sure.” she said. She attended a confer­


ence in London as secret­ ary of Rescare, the socie­ ty for mentally handicap­ ped people in residential care, which demanded ji halt to the national clo­ sure policy. She said: "We deplored


the lack of adequate fund­ ing for the community care policy and the lack of facilities for the mentally handicapped living in tlu* community, and indica­ tions were that govern­ ment officials were shaken by the extent of public concern.”

Pub plan refused


A PLAN to build a family room at the Buck Inn,


Grindleton, by roofing across from the main building to the existing toilet block, has been given the thumbs-down. In considering the plan,


the Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s Development Sub­ committee was told that a letter had been received objecting to the plan on amenity, car parking and traffic problem grounds. It was felt that the


proposal represented an over-intensive develop­ ment of the site in that there was insufficient off- street parking and man­ oeuvring space to cater for the existing and prop­ osed increased floor space in the pub.
