G O -A H E A D Bid for deferment outvoted


RIBBLE VALLEY councillors gave their final seal of approval to the controversial Barrow-Print Works redevel­ opment plan, after hearing details of a package of legal


safeguards.


But the go-ahead for the long-running saga was not to everyone’s liking and there was a bid in the council chamber to get the matter deferred yet again for further dis­ cussion, watched by a handful of Barrow residents from the public gallery.

members deferred the matter still further, the developer might be dis­ posed to taking his case to a tribunal and then the safeguards which came under a Section 52 agree­ ment and Section 278 agreement could very easily be dispensed with. The letter from Wiswell


man, on behalf of resi­ dents, expressed “consid­ erable alarm” at the Section 52 agreement and explained that the resi­ dents were concerned about the reduction of

They also envisaged that contrac­ tors’ vehicles could be passing through the vil­ lage for many months — even years — and called for the completion of access roads before any building took place. Other­ wise, Barrow could be faced with unlimited traf­ fic chaos. Meanwhile, Mr Fore­

access for the A59 would be to the industrial park and th e s a f e g u a rds ensured that it would be built before the industrial d e v e l o pm e n t t o o k place.They could give no guarantees that industrial and commercial buildings would be erected, only that the access would be completed. But once an access road was there, it was always easier to dis­ pose of a site for industrial development. A further delay could


that the Section 52 agree­ ment could not be enforced if the members abandoned the plan to have the hous­ ing and industrial site linked, other by pedes­ trian access. The Depart­ ment of Transport felt that housing development should have an access road into Barrow, because the policy was to link this type of development with the existing community. The roundabout and


ble Valley Council meeting Coun. Geoffrey Ainsworth (Clayton-le-Dale) said that in view of the amount of money the authority was contributing towards the project — £48,000 — he had reservations about whether people would make use of the facility once it was offered. “It is worth a try get­


ting people off the road and on to the railway, however,” said Coun. Ainsworth, who asked that the minutes of the Policy and Resources Committee be amended so that the council’s contribu­ tion to the reopening would read £48,000 instead of 50%.


Another year for taxi firm


A CLITHEROE taxi firm will be allowed to operate for another 12 months from premises at Victoria Street Garage, councillors have decided. Members of the Ribble


Valley Council’s Devel­ opment Control Sub-com­ mittee said they had no objection to the existing garaging and repair facili­ ties, but had some reser­ vations about the taxi side of the business. They heard that objec­
