Few with AIDS
THERE are fewer than 10 confirmed AIDS sufferers in the Blackburn, Hynd- burn and Ribble Valley area, the last meeting of the Ribble Valley District Liaison Committee for Social Services heard. Recent figures do not
highlight districts with under 10 sufferers.
LOCAL ramblers joined fellow enthusiasts from the North East Ramblers’ Association to cross the border into Yorkshire for the June coach outing. A choice of four guided
walks were on offer from the Sedbergh starting
point. The next coach ramble,
which is also open to non members, is on July 1st and the destination if Glenridding, on the edge of Ullswater, with four guided walks of varying lengths to choose from. Details are available on Nelson 62123 or Accring ton 397660.
I UNDERSTAND there is a scheme shortly to fell 17 hardwood trees near Chatbum, in order to straighten a little-used road by removing a bend. The official reason is given afi' the greater safety of Worston Road for heavy goods vehicles and to reduce the number of “lor ries rumbling through Chatbum." Within a very short distance from the proposed

Doe Public to plant saplings etc., while at the same time engage in environmental abuse by calmly sug gesting felling 17 hardwoods in an unnecessary road straightening is, to say the least, rather puzzling. It would be interesting to know1 what was said by
councillors who represent the area involved or serve on committees dealing with the environment, when faced by this mad proposal.
