appeals against loca' authority decisions has also increased, particu­ larly since the introduction of planning fees. Written representation apjjeals are the most common, but public in qu ir ie s are increasingly being used as a method of challenge.


To date, 12 planning


appeals have been lodget with the authority in 1988. Three public inquiries have been held and a fur­ ther two are scheduled for July. Of the eight already dealt with, three were allowed and the remaining five dismissed.


Parking need


THE search is on for e.vtra car park sites in Whalley. At Whalley and Little


Mitton Parish Council, it was reported that the Rib­ ble Valley Council was looking into the problem of easing parking in Whalley. Better signposting of


existing car parks is also in the pipeline.


PIRATES were very much in evidence at Ribblesdale Nursery School in Clitheroe, when the theme of the annual summer fair was ‘Treasure Island.” It raised £‘155 to buy toys and books and organisers were delighted by


r ^ ' i '


the support. Head teaclier Mrs June Dewhurst said: “ It was wonderful. The public response was amazing and will do a lot to ])rovido much-needed faci­ lities for the children.” Most of the 80 youngsters attending the nursery joined in the fun and


a fire engine came along from Clitheroe to complete the day. The cake competition was won by Paul Tierney and Stuart 'frotlcr and Amanda Sinqison won the fancy flress. Mrs Helen Hobday found the treasure.

'HLLO ’cllo ’ello, what’s going on ’ere then'/ It’s the 2nd St .lames’s Cub Scout pack, down at the station, helping the police with their inquiries. The Clitheroe boys in blue were so impressed


by the boys in green who washed the police ( Land-Rover during .lob Week that the 18 young­ sters were invited along to see how the station is run. Being locked up in a cell scored a major suc­


cess with them, as did being handcuffed hy an officer who just so happened to have mislaid his keys... The Cubs were shown round the communica­
