MP’s claim under fire at council


RIBBLE VALLEY’S new MP came under fire at the final meeting of the bor­ ough council before the district council elections. Coun. Eric Bracewell


(Clitheroe) referred to recent press reports in which Mr Michael Carr had welcomed the exten­ sion of the consultation period for the redevelop­ ment of Clitheroe’s Auc­ tion Mart site, it being claimed that the extension resulted from his meetings with the chief executive and other chief officers of the council. “It is my clear under­

standing that at no stage has this council fixed a date for making a final decision on this controver­ sial scheme and I should welcome the chairman’s confirmation of this posi­ tion, based on the inten­ tion to continue consulta- t io n s w i th a l l th e interested parties in order to produce an acceptable scheme based on a con­ census view,” stated Coun. Bracewell. Coun. John Walmsley


(Waddington), chairman of the Planning and Devel­ opment Committee, said the developer and his architect would be meet­ ing shortly, when further negotiations would take place, adding: “It is hoped that a report will be avail­ able for committee some time later during the summer.”
