Rethink urged on town car park charges


THE advantages of introducing charges at Clitheroe car parks were stressed at a meeting


of the Ribble Valley Resources Committee. The Planning Commit­


te e h a d p r e v io u s ! y re je c ted the idea of charges, but on Tuesday the Policy and Resources Committee urged it to have a rethink before deciding. Committee chairman


Coun. Mrs Sheila M aw (Whalley) said some form of charge was probably inevitable, but it was for the Planning Committee to decide. Charges had been intro­


duced in other tourist areas such as Skipton and Harrogate and had not deterred visitors. The pay and display system operating in other


towns had definite advan­ tages, reducing confusion and letting people know exactly how much time they had. Conn. John Cliff (Lon-

Stern warning to drink offenders


GREATER vigilance is needed to beat the problem of under-age drinking, Mr Jim Parker, chairman of the Licensing Justices, told the annual licensing meeting for Ribble Valley.


Warning that the jus­


tices would be fair but firm in ensuring that the laws were upheld, he expressed the licensing


committee's concern that consumption of alcohol is


put forward far too often as an excuse for commit­


ting criminal acts. “ In particular, off-li-


cencc holders must be more vigilant in relation to under 18s purchasing alco­ hol from their premises. “ It should he appre­


ciated that the court regards under-age drink­ ing as a serious problem and licensees who provide liquor for persons not enti­ tled to it are voluntarily inviting the justices not to renew their licences.” Visits have started to


premises and these will he completed during 1988. Changes to the law on permitted hours had not yet taken place and the law must he properly adhered to, he added. Presenting the annual


report, Chief Supt Allan Williams told the justices that problems of under­ age drinking were Being actively pursued by the police. “While the majority of


licensed premises in Kib­ ble Valley are to be con­ gratulated for their eon- duet, it will he our intention to examine the situation,” he said.

“There is a strong asso­


and 1 urge all licensees to make strenuous efforts to deter juveniles.” In the past year, juve­ niles tinder 18 involved in


Ribble Valley were low. There has been a 50% decrease in the general level of drunkenness, with 21 eases compared to 42 in 198(i. In offences of assault where drink was a factor,


there was a 43% reduction from 30 to 17. Although there were no


conviction for aiding and abetting' consumption out­ side permitted hours and another for two eases of allowing consumption by persons under 18. Two licensees of off-li­


cences were convicted for selling alcohol to under 18s. There was a big increase


in drink-driving convic­ tions during 1987, latest figures showing a 3(i% increase, with (10 convic­ tions in 1987, compared with 44 in 1980.


this was due to the efforts of police to pay particular

licensing offences included three convictions for buy­ ing intoxicants, ’two for aiding and abetting, three cautions for purchasing and four cautions for consumption. Overall, the figures for


attention to drink-driving all year, not merely at Christmas. These efforts would continue in li)SS. Police were particularly


concerned about younger drivers, because figures showed that 20 to 24-year-


olds hud the highest rate of breath test failures.


Hidden talents


MEMBERS of tile Red Cross Disabled Group enjoyed their meeting at Low Moor where they were entertained with songs and poems by Mar­ garet Martindale and Kathleen Young, of Hurst Green. As no piano was avail­


able at the time, many hidden talents were disco­ vered among the audience in a “ free and easy” hour. An outing is being arranged for Easter week.


Name change


CLITHEROE Licensing Court granted Mr Michael Heyworth, of Bay Gate, Bolton-by-Bowland, the transfer of the justices’ licen ce for E in p r e s s Squash Rackets Ltd, of Chatham Road, Clitheroe. Mr Heyworth, a char­


tered accountant, said that arrangements were being


made for the name to he cha n g e d to C l i th e ro e Squash Club.
