Great news for the


Roefield centre


THERE has been a big step forward in the battle for a leisure centre at Roe­ field with the news this week that the North West Sports Council has agreed to donate £50,000 towards the cost of the project. Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg


(Wiswell), chairman of the Ribble Valley Council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee, told her com­ mittee on Tuesday night that she had only just been told of the decision. It would be fo rm a lly approved at a sports coun­ cil meeting in Morecambe on April 14th and was excellent news, which all those who had fought long and hal’d for the Roefield dream to become a reality would heartily welcome. The new centre will cost


more than £400,000 and the Ribble Valley Council has already pledged £250,000 towards it. pro­ viding that £70,000 is raised by public appeal and £100,000 comes from o th e r g r a n t -a id in g sources. Coun John Walmsley


(Mellor), committee vice- chairman, said the project had been a hard battle and was now at the stage where public donations were of vital importance. He felt the £50.000


donation would encourage the English Development Commission to come up with a similar grant to enable the £100,000 target from grant-aiding sources to be reached. Mrs Doreen Euinton,


chairman of the Ribble Valley Sports and Recre­ ation Association, said she was delighted at the news, which would give every- b o d y


encouragement. g r e a t
