Interesting law
I READ with interest in last week’s issue the com ments of Mrs Linda Mar tin regarding the dumping of garden refuse in brooks and streams. I wonder if the Ribble
Valley Borough Council is aware of this law, as when the staff have cut the grass and weeds on Hol den Street car park, they make no effort to prevent them falling into Mearley Brook, with the result that the weeds in the brook are now nearly as high as the banking. I wonder when it will be their turn to be cut?
