Letters to the Editor Please watch where you


dump your garden refuse MAY I make use of your columns to draw people’s attention to it small point of law which appears to get overlooked.


During the high sum­


mer, when householders are busy lawn-mowing and weeding, many who have a brook or stream running nearby tend to use the waterway as a disposal area for th e ir garden refuse.


This is, in fac t, an


offence and can be detri­ mental to tlie aquatic life. Equally unacceptable is


the tip p ing o f garden refuse ove r fences and hedges on to neighbouring land (see Utter Act).


As secretary of the Kib­


ble Valley Conservation Group, I receive many reports from concerned residents about this sort of ac tiv ity and I am sure that, for the most part, it is not malicious tipping, hut done out of ignorance of tlie law.


Law broken on parking


I HAVK every sym­ pathy with the resi­ dents of Whalley Road who were fined last week for parking with­ out lights, but this is tlie law. as they pro­ bably were aware. The sooner the police


clamp down on another law-breaking offence, which appears to go unnoticed — ball games in the street — the better!


II. RILEY, Billinglon.


May 1, therefore, ask


local gardeners to dispose of their cuttings and clip­ pings properly, either by composting or bagging up for removal to tlie ioeal waste disposal centre.


MRS LINDA MARTIN,


Kibble Valley Conserva­ tion Group, Little Beck, Haves Hall Lane, West Bradford.


No diverting on poll tax figures


I consider it in the public interest to correct the misrepresentations on the County Council 1990-91 budget that Mr Loebeli continues to inflict on Clitheroe poll tax payers.


1 applaud the mail’s load of cobh(l)crs, with no


declaration to desist from real application to Glitli- fnrther correspondence oil croc or anywhere else in


this subject when, on his own admission, lie affirms that his figures cannot be relied upon.


Whenever I look like


sustaining ail argument on local government financial management, I am imme­ d ia te ly , by tl ie local Tories, diverted to places like Liverpool, Haringay or Brent (the loony Left dodge) and now for good measure I am waltzed off to Australia via Saudi Arabia.


Does Mr Loebeli con­


cede? Not a chance — he conjures lip another list of figures lie clearly fails to understand and with the wave o f his fairy wand saves the poll tax payers J


Lancashire, lienee just a puerile pointless exercise that has no place in pro­ moting genuine social democracy.


RON 1’ ICKUI’ , C I i t li e r o c C ou nt v Councillor, !) Liugficld Avenue, Clitheroe.


Appalling result to. kindly, gesture


WE fully agree with M. Bridge, who wrote last week about the public meeting held in Wad- dington concerning tlie footpath through the hack garden of Planta­ tion Cottage.


Mr and Mrs Morris


generously used a small part of their garden to allow Church Close residents easy access to their homes.


It is quite appalling


that such a kindly neighbourly action lias resulted in a great deal of harassment, worry and expense for tlie Morris family (to say nothing of the cost of the public inquiry).


The onlv fair out­


come to tlie inquiry must surely be that tlie path is not designated as a public right o f way, 1ml left as it is for the convenience' o f Church Close, to which Mr and Mrs Morris have agreed.


A. and M. KKIDY, 75 The Square, Waddingion.


Hospital visiting can be traumatic


THE public arc totally unaware of the risk Lo life and limb they Lake when visiting- family and friends in Queen’s Park H o sp ita l, ' Blackburn.


Oil a recent visit I was l-IH per head? I f it was so


e a s y , I w o u 1 d li a v e reduced the charge. Mr Locbell’s figures in


each of his press state­ ments to date add up to a


subjected to a terrifying experience, tlie memory of which will haunt me for some time. It seems that psychiat­ ric patients are there on a


v o lu n ta r y b as is and a l io w c d to w a I k t li e grounds, whether or not they have been given their daily medication. Tlie lack of medication


can result in a very dis­ turbed and extremely dan­ gerous person being at


large in public areas. I am told that as the


wards are "open wards," it would be against the law


for these people to he placed behind locked doors. I feel that there is some­


thing sadly wrong with a law which makes it neces­ sary to take a bodyguard of “Mike Tyson" propor­ tions when visiting one's r e la t iv e s on what is a lr e a d y a tra um a t ic occasion. I fear for the safety of


the elderly and infirm, or indeed for anyone unable to attempt a three-minute mile to the relative safety of his or her car.

when she decided to make a career switeli and went to train for lull-time youth work at college. Her first appointment


was in Roelulale and she went from there to Hali­ fax. Though T rin ity is very different to Halifax, she lias lots of ideas, which she will discuss at a staff meeting tomorrow. “ 1 have been made very


welcome by everyone at Trinity. It's good to be back in Lancashire and I am looking forward to get­ ting to know everyone here,” said Miss Mottram, who hopes to move to tlie area shortly. Our photograph shows


her meeting some of the youngsters.


Wanting recruits for VSO


V O LU N T A R Y Service Overseas is on tlie look-out fo r r e c r u i t s . . . and although many young peo­ ple apply, there are also special opportunities for qualified mature people. The upper age limit has


been increased from 65 to 70 years and in a bid to fulfil the desperate need for doctors, one-year post­ ings are being offered instead of the usual two- year commitments. VSO currently lias over 1,200 volunteers working


in *14 developing countries, passing-on their skills to local people in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Each volunteer works


for local rates of pay over a period of two years or


more, doctors excepted. For more details, con­

Undeterred for their •family rambling day

ter ear park, they went past the Roman Baths and lip Stydd Lane northward,


climbing Duddcl Mill. A l that point the tliree-


milers were glad to turn back over stiles to Stone Bridge, although four stal­ warts, including Tanya ( i f ) ) and her dog Kelly, completed the fivc-and-a- half-mile route to Moor­ cock Farm and Dutton Manor, before returning to Stone Bridge. Wednesday e vening

New date set for opening of library


C L IT H E R O E ’ S new library is now expected to open on July 23rd, follow­ ing earlier problems over siting of power points and shelving. District Librarian Miss


Barbara Snell said slit* was hopeful this dale would be met and stressed the need for tile library's borrowers to re-register as soon as possible. There are H.OOO bor­


rowers, but only 4.nun have re-registered so far


to meet the needs of com­ puterisation, in which the green tickets for eaeli book will he replaced with a computer card. The l ib ra ry w i l l be


closed for a week prior to opening and the shelves will accommodate three times as many books as now. “ I f people go along to


the temporary library now to re-register it will save a chaotic situation on opening dav," Miss Snell added.


Walk covers 22 miles


STKONlt winds and show­ ers could not spoil the fun on the annual long dis­ tance walk organised by Clitheroe Ramblers* social committee. From Ribblehead Via­


duct. Id members led by Mob Frost and Mary Ben­ son headed along the Cra­ ven Way to Dent, where re f re s h ni c ut s w e re enjoyed. They set o ff to Barth


Bridge and followed the River Dee to Rea Veal, passing Dent Head, before turning on to the moors at Stoops Moss. After Hoar­ stones they came back down the main Hawes road, a distance of 22 miles in all.


Jewellery box


A CROCODII.K jewellery box was among items taken from a burglary in Horton-in-Craven last week. Three men were appre­


hended in Blackpool soon after the raid and police recovered the majority of property stolen. However, they are anx­


ious to trace the jewellery box containing several items, which the police believe could have been dumped somewhere in the Kibble Valley.


Eleven charged


TKN local people were arrested and charged with public order offences as a result o f a disturbance outside the Swan and It o va l H o te l , C a s t le Street. Clitheroe. on Fri­


day night. Another local was later
