YELLOW LINES


ON WAY


YELLOW lines are to be placed on West Bradford Road, Clitheroe, following repeated problems with parking. Employees of Castle


Cement have ignored repeated requests from


the firm to stop parking vehicles on the main road. Members of Ribble Val-,


ley Council’s Public Works and Health Committee were told that Lancashire County Council had exa­ mined the situation and


accident statistics. There had only been two


accidents over the last three years, but in view of the number of heavy goods vehicles moving in and out of the work’s entrances and the presence of an ample free car park for employees, it was felt dou­ ble yellow lines were warranted.
