Neglected and derelict


comfortable in a new Mayor’s Parlour and Civic Suite. If these gentlemen were to take a walk en masse round the town, starting


huts.Now, I believe, there is talk of a county tourist office, so more ratepayers money will be going down the drain — that is if it can get down because they


seem to be full of rubbish. Tourists do not come to look round town halls and mayors’ parlours; they


come to look at and walk in clean places and shop in up-to-date shops. Believe me, Ciithcroe leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, from a visitor’s point of view, the town looks neglected and derelict in parts. Councillors, of course, will blame this on Government cutbacks, but in Clitheroc, it seems money is no object when it comes to their comforts.

' Mr Carr, like all the rural councillors of Ribble Valley, quite happily for­ gets that both Clitheroe and Longridge in 1974 fully integrated into the Ribble Valley Borough Council for the greater good of local government, in the genuine desire for a more effective and efficient unit of local government.
