at pool THE good summer weather caused a drop in attendances at Clitheroe’s Ribblesdale Swimming Pool.At the Ribble Valley Council, Coun. Eric Bra- cewell (Clitheroe) asked if the adverse publicity in relation to the use of hemicals could have


affected attendances. “The good summer


weather has obviously given the public the oppor­ tunity to pursue outdoor activities, rather than use the pool,” said Coun. Mrs Myra Clegg, chairman of the Recreation and Lei­ sure Committee. “The problem with the


use of chemicals has now been resolved and the necessary action taken to ensure that the problem does not recur. I am informed that the quality of the water is excellent."
