wonderful,” said Tom’s only daughter, Mrs Mary Taylor, who lives on the Costa Blanca and has been visiting England for a fortnight. “ They managed to keep the party a surprise until Tom got to the pub — we told him we were just popping down for a couple of drinks — and they laid on a hot-pot supper and a super cake, as well as presenting him with a hamper they all contributed to.” Well over 70 people

Special trains on line again for Christmas


THE Santa Special will be running to and from Clitheroe again, thanks to Ribble Valley Rail.


The hope is that it will


bring shoppers and visi­ tors into Clitheroe for Christmas shopping and sightseeing and will also give local people a chance to travel by train to other


centres. The festiye service is


scheduled for December 15th, when mince pies will be a va i la b le fo r the passengers. The organisers are hop­


regulars or villagers. “They all think he’s a grand old chap, and so do I,” said Mrs Taylor. She added: “ He comes


and stays with us in Spain for a holiday every year and has made as many friends over there as he has here; many of the cards he received were from friends in Spain.”


Local farmer Bert


Thistlethwaite organised the party, with Helen Hughes arranging the cake and Alan Turner the hamper. It is some 10 years


since Tom moved to Kimington from Accrington, working until retirement for West

Prepared to review tree-felling policy after ‘fiasco’ claim

meeting of the Kibble Val­ ley Council after Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe) hit out at recent tree-fell­ ing decisions, already highlighted in the “Adver­ tiser and Times.". He described felling schemes in Brungcrley

ervation orders?" Replying, Coun. Stanley


Thomas (Mellor), chair­ man of the Planning and Development Committee, said: “ Members of the committee will recall that there was a full discussion on the question of highway trees in Clitheroe at the meeting on May 3rd. The committee agreed to the systematic removal of such trees and replacement with appropriate species when the s itu a t ion permitted. “ In the two cases

MEMBERS of CJitheroe Round Table said their annual “ thank you” to wives and girlfriends when Ladies’ Night was held at


the Spread Eagle Hotel, Sawlcy, on Friday. More than 75 members and guests attended and the chairman,


TRUST THE EXPERTS


Mr Frank Brown, welcomed everybody, before proposing a toast to the ladies. Mrs Val Honeywell, chairman of Clitheroe Ladies’


Circle, responded. Guests included Mr David Brown, immediate past area chair­


man of the Round Table in Area 34, and his wife Janet, and Ribble Valley director of development Mr Philip Bailey, who is chairman of the Clitheroe 41 Club, and his wife Anne, the chair­ man of Clitheroe Tangent. The toastmaster was Mr Richard Bennett. The rest of the eve­ ning was spent dancing to the Towers Disco of Great Harwood.

The group, which has


u n d e r tak en s e v e ra l p ro je cts to help the environment, including constructing a bench out­ side the school, was approached by Billington Parish Council to make the


commemorative Lofthouse bench as a tribute to the authoress, who died three years ago.


Our picture shows the


three youngsters who made the bench — Joseph Ellel and (seated) Ruth W i 1m a n and C 1 a i r Leonard.


One step ahead with charter


THE Ribble Valley Council had one of the best housing records in Lancashire, councillors heard from housing chairman Coun. Mrs Kate Hodkinson. She said the Housing Committee had been one


step ahead of the Prime Minister’s “Citizen’s Char­ ter” by introducing a “Tenant’s Charter” earlier in the year. The committee had given its seal of approval to


a 10-year programme of housing maintenance and repairs and and was wholeheartedly committed to the philosophy of being a good employer and


landlord. Coun. Mrs Hodkinson (Longridge) said that the


Ribble Valley had the lowest rents in Lancashire and the lowest rent arrears. Preston’s rent arrears were 3G% higher, Blackburn’s 32% and South Ribble seven per cent. She added that if tenants had complaints she


would urge them to consult the housing depart­ ment before writing to the Press.


November 27th, Grindle- ton Lane, Slaidburn Lane Ends, will be closed at Langcliffe Cross Bridge. The alternative route will be v ia the B (i 4 7 8 , Tincklers Lane, as far as Holden and then right into Barret Hill Brow. During the same period,


Hellifield Road, Bolton- by-Bowland, will be closed from a point 100 metres on either side of Pepper Hills Bridge. The alternative route is via Main Street, Foden Moore, then left to Stump Cross Lane. Meanwhile, Dugdale


Lane, Easington (also known as Hole House Lane, School Lane and Clapham Road) closed on Monday for 10 weeks, to facilitate the reconstruc­ tion of highway retaining walls. The alternative route is


via the B6478 Wiggles- worth Road and Chapel Lane to the Slaidburn C519 Bentham Road, to Greensmith Crossroads, High Bentham, and Mewith Lane to Measden.


over the condition of the trees in question.” Coun. Thomas said that


the felling of the lime trees in Millthorne Avenue had, in fact, been deferred wh i le the re s id en ts decided which of four options they wanted to pursue. He added: “ I don’t think


the imposition of blanket tree preservation orders could be justified at pres­ ent, but if there is wide­ spread concern about the present policy then we will have another look at it in the planning committee.”


No L-plates on motor bike for


fifth time A CLITHEROE teenager


who appeared before magistrates for a fifth offence of riding a motor bike without L-plates admitted he was “stupid.” Before the court was


Terry Gordon Taylor (18), of Woone Lane, who pleaded guilty. He also pleaded guilty to failing to maintain direction indica­ tors and to using a motor cycle with no excise licence. Mr Angus Craigen, pro­


secuting, said that Taylor was stopped by police in St James’s Street, Clith­ eroe. He had four previous fines for failing to display L-plates. In court, Taylor said


“ I ’ve been stupid. I was going down to the shops when I was stopped.” Since then he had “done up” the motor bike. Taylor was fined £G0 for


not having L-plates, £40 for not having an excise licence and £30 for failing to maintain direction indi­ cato rs. He was also ordered to pay £3.75 back duty and £20 towards prosecution costs.
