anglers’ fees and licences were to have a control to regulate stock and finance replenishments and pay the salary of the water- bailiffs who supervise the legitimacy of angling prac­ tices.

FURTHER to your article on the granting of the application for the exhaust centre in the Salthill area, I should like to express my complete su p por t for Coun. John Cowgill’s atti­ tude towards the traffic problems that this plan­ ning application will

have their own access roads, is an en tire ly worthwhile aim; but this policy must not become blurred at the edges by allowing industrial devel­ opment to encroach on residential areas. COUN. PATRICK C. SHEPHERD, 7 Park Avenue, Clitheroe.


Leave it to the market forces


PEOPLE who grumble about the amusement arcade in King Street should remember that any changes there have been in planning regu­ lations, which have basically been made easier, have been made by our last two Conservative Govern­


ments, including our own MP. Decisions have to be made on “plan­


Davidson, of 46 Storry Road, Canterbury, wants information on great- grandparents John and Sarah Fletcher who, he believes, owned the inn in Clitheroe in the early Vic­ torian era. They emigrated to New


ning grounds.” A clever authority can delay the process, impose severe restric­ tions on use, etc., but ultimately it has to grant permission. Otherwise, expen­ sively-paid QCs wait in the wings to act for the amusement arcade owners. Amusement arcades are just a part of


the market economy and Conservative philosophy is not to impede such activi­ ties, unless of course the market involves drugs, insider dealing or using multiple variations of your name to buy shares — and you are found out! The best way to rid the town of the


King Street arcade is to use the market. In a market, the consumer is king. Make sure that you do not “buy the commod­ ity,” and that your children do not, and the provider will not make a profit. Fail­ ure is as much a part of a market as success. Never was it truer that we can­ not all be successes. Let’s have one failure.

Campers are entitled


to privacy


WITH reference to the two letters regarding the Edisford fence controversy, two colleagues and I inspected the site on July ,19th and I must agree with R. Goodman’s letter urging a fence for the camp site. The camp is very well maintained, well laid


out and of very well kept appearance. Any litter about was outside the area of the camp. Presumably the camp members pay their dues


and demands which will, as R. Goodman points out, certainly bring revenue into the' coffers of the Ribble Valley Council. The campers should at least be entitled to a little privacy. I would like to suggest that the RVC mem­


bers, camp site'members and the interested peo­ ple of Clitheroe get together round the table and settle the problem in a civilised manner. J. PARKINSON, 6 Riverside, Clitheroe.


Still known as Cowman’s
