Green light for phone on bypass


BRITISH Telecom has given the go-ahead for the placing of an emergency telephone on the A59 Clitheroe bypass. Area manager Mr Brian


Davis says that Telecom has earned out a survey of the road and is willing to provide a cable to phone which the AA has already agreed to supply and maintain. The move comes after


years of badgering by Kibble Valley councillors who have been concerned about the inconvenience caused to residents near the bypass being woken by motorists wanting to use a phone.

His act included Conti­

She was Juliette Han-i-


son (18), of King Street, Whalley, a sixth-form stu­ dent at St Mary’s College, Blackburn.


In the audience were


Shaun’s parents, Terry and Marje McCree, of The Hawthorns, Waddington. About 20 magicians from various parts of Europe competed and Shaun, a former pupil of Queen Elizabeth’ s Grammar S ch o o l , B la ck b u rn , received a trophy at the end of the show.


Said Shaun: “Many of

A STORY with a poignant underlying message — that’s Willy Russell’s play, “Our Day Out,” the latest offering from the talented pupils at Ribblesdale School, Clitheroe. The play, set to music by the school, is about a


class of children not of the brightest academic ability, from a comprehensive in Livei’pool, and their antics when taken on a day trip to Conway Castle.

in Sabden for the past nine years, dismisses claims that the distinctive ridge is linked with sorcery and witchcraft.


“There was an army pill


box on the summit for years,” he recalls. “ It was


pulled down and no-one said a word. We would not be having all this fuss now, but for a cross.”


Refusing the application


for the plastic-coated rolled steel cross on land donated by Lord Clith­ eroe, members o f the council’s Development Sub-committee heard that 21 letters of objection and two petitions with 28 sig­ natures had been received. In support there had been nine letters.


During the meeting


Coun. Fred Green asked his colleagues to take into account the people living in the area who would have to look at the cross. Coun. Leo Wells said the cross would be too promi­ nent, adding that some sort of shrine would be preferable. Refusing the applica­


tion, councillors agreed that the structure would occupy a prominent sky­ line position in a sensitive part of the Forest of Bow- land Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to the detriment of the natural beauty of the area. “ I was not at the meet­
