elderly residents were saying they were now in fear of their lives, if they step out of doors, and were having to keep all their windows shut to block out the noise of rev­ ving engines. They want a police

ton Parish Council has requested that no building should star t until the Department of Transport sanctions direct access from the A59 from a new roundabout and that all 83 houses should be for the use of employees on the site only and not specula­ tive building for sale to the general public. The Department of


Transport has stated that the development should not be brought into use until a dual carriageway is completed on tne A59 between its southern junc­ tion with the A671 and northern junction with the A671 and a roundabout constructed on the A59 to serve the site access. The committee will be

county surveyor refers specifically to the housing areas. Individual access points


are, he says, acceptable to 11 houses planned off Whi- teacre Lane, though some tr e e s may need to be removed because of differ­ ences in ground level. • Concern is expressed


about access to the site earmarked for 30 houses, Kemple View to Green- mount, off Whalley Road. The proposed widening


of Washbrook Close to improve the junction is considered to be satisfac-

Complaints about lorries


A LIST of complaints about lorries from resi­ dents in Derby Street, Clitheroe, was handed to officers at the Ribble Val­ ley Council’s monthly meeting. ■ Clitheroe councillor Eric Bracewell said that lorries driving over footpaths in the street were cracking pavements as they turned into a builder’s yard. Large lorries were hav­


ing trouble negotiating the turn from Hayhurst Street, and were forced to cut the comer by driving on to the pavement. Some drivers parked on the pavement with their engines run­ ning. The damage was becoming a danger to pedestrians. Coun. Bracewell hoped


that the problem could be resolved to the satisfaction of residents and what was an expanding business. Council officials agreed


to investigate' the prob­ lems in-consultation'with

Vandals are blamed for loft fire


CLITHEROE Homing S o c ie ty members are blaming vandals-for a fire which caused more than £300 damage to the stock lo f t o f tw o S a b d en members. Firemen were called to


the incident on Thursday evening in which a loft, u sed by Mr An dr ew Atkinson, of Rose Grove, and his father Tommy, of Thorn Street, was burnt down. Fortunately, there were


no pigeons in the loft at the time, but local fanciers are appealing to members o f the public who might have seen anything suspi­ cious to get in touch with them. Mr...Tommy Atkinson


had been at the loft on land at the bottom of Black Hill allotment only shortly before the incident when a neighbour phoned to tell him of the fire. Despite this disaster,


Andrew managed to finish ninth in the club’s knock­ out competition which saw 287 birds released in Glou­ c e s te r to f ly back to Clitheroe.

Two honours graduates who first met when they were students at Birming­ ham University were mar­ ried at St Mary the Virgin Church, Gisburn. . The bridegroom, a sys­


tems analyst, was John David Thompson, the elder son of Mr and Mrs J. D. G. Thompson, of Swin- ton, Mexborough, South

Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupil Josephine Mary Crosier, the third daughter of Mr and Mrs J. J. Crosier, of Painley Farm, Gisburn, who works as a chartered accountant. The bride, given away


by her father, wore a clas­ sical full-length gown of white satin with a fitted ruched bodice and .short train. Her full-length embroidered veil was held in place by a headdress of pearl and silk flowers and she carried a bouquet of white gladioli, roses and Singapore orchids with ivy trails. Bridesmaids were Miss


Elaine Crosier, the bride’s younger sister; Miss Eliza­ beth Heyworth; Miss Suzanne Marsden, the bride’s niece; and Miss Elizabeth Allen, a relative of the bridegroom. The senior bridesmaids wore full-length dresses of ;


jade dupion, with head­ dresses of silk flowers. ; The younger,bridesmaids had b a l le r in a - len g th dresses of jade and white 1 candy stripes, with match­ ing Alice bands. All car­ ried bouquets of pink-and white carnations, roses and alstromeria. Best man was Mr Paul


Dunstan and ushers were Kenneth Marsden; John Old fi el d and P ete r Thompson. The ceremony was per­


formed by the Rev. H. Clark and the organist was Mrs J. Rice." After a reception at The


Stirk House Hotel, Gis­ burn, the couple left for a hone ymo on in the Algarve. Their future resi­ dence is in York. Photograph: K. and J;
