been widespread fears that static caravans would be subject to the same charge, despite Govern­ ment promises that special provision would need to he

shortly to be made to the L o c a l G o v e rn me n t Finance Bill, caravan sites and pitches are to remain in non-domestic rating. People living in cara­


vans or mobile homes as a main residence will liave to pay poll tax. Mr Harold Cowburn,


proprietor of the Shire- burn Caravan Park, Edis- ford Bridge, Clitlieroe, and the Three Rivers Mobile Park, West Brad­ ford, welcomed the deci­ sion. “It would have been a big blow to the Ribhle Valley if poll tax had been charged," he said. “I don’t think people in the Ribble Valley, especially in the Clitheroe area, appreciate the number of caravanners who use sites in the dis­ trict and the trade they bring.” Mr Tom Varley, of

Change is refused


THE Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s Development Sub­ committee has refused a plan for the proposed change of use of two ground floor rooms at 15 Parson Lane, Clitheroe, to a car radio sales and repair shop. Members felt that the

Video theft


AN audacious burglar kicked in a panel in the front door of a house at Crow Trees Brow, Chat- burn, in broad daylight. He then climbed in and stole a Ferguson Videos­ tar video recorder, matt black in colour, worth £350.

Talk on wild flowers


WILD flowers which have provided countrymen with food, medicine, bedding and protection against evil spirits, ranging from cures for toothache such as snee­ ze wort to good luck charms such as gumander speedwell, were identified when Mr Cliff Austin sp o k e to C l i th e ro e Naturalists. On Saturday’s walk
