TH E best Christmas present the Ribble Valley could wish fo r . . . raising the last instalment needed to pay for the Roefield Leisure Centre by the end of this year.


That is the hope of fund­

Doreen Euinton said peo­ ple had responded magni­ ficently. She was confident th a t with ju s t one more fund-raising drive the re s t of th e mon ey could be found by December. A lre ad y th o u sa n d s of


pounds has been raised or pledged and the centre at Low Moor , C i i th e ro e , s h o u ld b e in u s e b y September. Said Mrs Euinton:“We


are asking clubs and local firms to come forward and h e lp u s m e e t th i s la s t instalment. Some of them w e re u n c e r ta in th a t we would be able to reach our ta rg e t and held back. Now is th e ir chance to help u s.” I t was recent additional


grant aid, as well as fund­ ra isin g , which p u t cam­ paigners within their goal. A door-to-door collection, for instance, raised £1,100. Appeals to buy bricks or


foreign coins continue and covenants can be supplied for those who are able to give over a period of time. S u rp lu s office e q u ip ­


ment is also needed for the centre. Anyone needing advice


on any of these points can co n ta c t Mrs E u inton on Clitheroe 41823. C o n t r ib u t io n s can be

Chambe r makes th e fol­ lowing comments on vari­ ous aspects of the plan:- Open ma rke t: Provision


for the open market is of smaller area than a t p re s­ e n t . T h i s s u g g e s t s a reduced number of stalls. A v ib ran t m a rk e t is one of th e cr itic al fa c to rs in a t t r a c t in g cu s tom e rs to the town. Traders expect a t least the same or even


an in c re a se d n um b e r of open market stalls. Ca r park ing: Car park­


ing is of major importance. The plan does not make s u f f i c i e n t i n c r e a s e d provision. P e d e s t r i a n a c c e s s :


T rad e rs ex press concern th a t th e re is in ad equ a te p ro v is io n for a c c e ss by both disabled people and push-chairs. They suggest th a t this be corrected with a ramp.


R e ta i l p ro v is io n : The G R E A T S U M M E R S A V I N G S / -


developers were selected on a n o u t l in e s c h em e which provided some 19 re ta i l u n i ts . Th ey have now increased this to 24 without convincing trade rs or the public th a t this is viable. The Chamber con­ tinues to have grave con­ cerns for the viability of this level of re ta il provi­ sion and the effect it will have on existing traders. T ra d e r s also feel th a t


still more could be done to promote the m a rk e t a rea a n d p r o v i d e p u b l i c amenities. Much of the work could


be placed with local con­ tractors to help the local economy. While welcoming red e ­


v e lo pm en t , th e t r a d e r s ’ rep o rt stres ses the impor­ tance of getting the plan r ight firs t time. “We shall all have to live with the consequences well into the next century,” they add. I t is now b e in g co n ­
