Council drags its feet over giving full support to the line — and with elections imminent — I, as a mem­ ber of the local electorate, would be interested in hearing the thoughts of our prospective councillors on the issue.

Refuse dumping an outrage


Rail again fails to make full use of a golden oppor­ tunity by its refusal to consider making some of the diverted trains avail­ able for local usage. These diverted trains will num­ ber several hundred. Are we sure Ribblehead via­ duct can take the strain without making BR’s case for closure appear even more ludicrous? Incidentally, if our local


line was already closed to BR, then those thousands of souls passing our way would have to travel either via York or by bus along the M6 — at a cost in excess of that required, even at BR’s estimates, to retain the Settle/Carlisle line, not to mention the general inconvenience. When, therefore, will

YOUR front page article describing how Holden Clough has been once more desecrated with lit­ ter, despite the superb work by the Scouts and Venture Scouts, prompts me to write. The latest outrage was discovered by council work­


men who arrived at the ravine to fix “no tipping” notices — these notices are themselves an ugly addi­ tion to any beauty spot, but sadly necessary. Would it be possible (1) for the notices to have


information concerning the whereabouts and hours of opening of official tip sites which the public are per­ mitted to use and (2) for your paper also to feature this information? If the people who accumulate such quantities of


rubbish can be informed of how easily it can be legally tipped, they may then dispose properly of unwanted items.


MRS S. E. BIRKIN, “Soay” Bentlea Road, Gisburn.


Apologies due


MAY I, through your paper, take this opportunity to apologise to ramblers and hikers for the condi­ tion of the footpath from Clithcroe Road, Sab- den, past Wilkin Heys Farm to Whalley. The road is frequently used by walkers, hut at


the moment is virtually impassable. This is due to a farmer from Pendleton using the road with heavy


tractors and machinery, while laying drainage pipes in the field below Wilkin Heys. The recent bad weather has added to the problem. I am sure he will put the road back into good use as soon as possible.


■ MRS CAROL MELLOWS, Wilkin Heys Farm, Sabden.


Waiting for a lift?


THIS past weekend’s light fall of snow reminded me of your story the other week about Castle Street's permanent (?) visitors. Will Santa have to wait for a passing reindeer to
