Mr Robert Pinder, of Crowtrees Brow, Chat- burn, and Mrs Gillian Pinder, of Grindleton Road, West Bradford. The bride is the daugh­


ter of Mr and Mrs Peter O’Connor, of Newbank Road, Blackburn. Given away by her


father, the bride’s gown was an off-the-shoulder design, with an intricate beaded bodice and a full skirt and train. The gown was made from ivory dupion silk and was off-set by a headdress of pink tiger lilies and cream roses. She carried a bouquet of


pink tiger lilies, cream roses and freesia. In attendance were Miss

ing in the new area and those existing in Castle View, Kirkmoor Road and Chester Avenue will be involved


in more noise, more air pollution and more danger. If it could have been seen that the local authority


had tried to provide some tranquillity, a small abate­ ment of pollution and an attempt to avoid accidents on the bypass road, then the scheme would have been exciting.

Simonstone) and myself (councillor for Read), sin­ cerely congratulate Eileen Lowe (councillor for Sab- den) on her recent “joining” of the Read and Simon- stone wards. This is reference to an article printed in your newspaper on July 25th. It appears that the three villages have “merged,”


as it seems that Coun. Lowe is more interested in other wards than the one that she was elected to represent — or is it the fact that the previous coun­ cillor for Sabden, Albert Atkinson, has left so little for her to do that she feels it necessary to tread on other people’s toes! But in her grace, she is not the only Liberal Democrat to be seen to be more interested in other wards than the one that they are supposed to be representing. In hindsight, does this mean that our Ribble Val­


ley MP, Mr Michael Carr, will be more interested in issues in the Bacup area rather than the Ribble Valley Area? Perhaps this is the “breath of fresh air” that they promised us at the elections!
