other entrants to win the upper juniors section and taking’ highly commended awards for Lhe infants and lower juniors.


For the competition, the


children had to prepare a report detailing the good and bad points of Dunsop Bridge and describe what needed to be done to pre- p a r e th e v i l l a g e fo r

said head te a ch e r Mrs Pamela Pardon, “the chil­ dren’s report on the vil­ la g e a g r e e d w ith th e .

make a map of the village, and produce a leaflet to be s e n t to e a ch hou se to encourage people to pre­ pare the village for the

it was a dangerous stretch of mad and were aware of s e v e r a l r e c e n t n e a r -


misses. Problems are caused by


the number of large heavy lorries travelling along the narrow s t r e e t , c re a t in g dif ficu ltie s a t the sharp corners, and the excessive speed of some of the vehi­


cles. The council had looked


at regulations regarding the siting of pelican cross­ ings and found that one would not be justified on the grounds of volume of traffic. Also, it would have to be positioned well away from the junction which would c reate difficulties for shoppers wishing to park for a few minutes. Some cou n ci l lo rs fe lt

Councillors felt that they did not have suf­ ficient information to make a decision about which uni­ ta ry a u th o r i ty sch em e would be the mosL advan­ tag eous for the parish. However, they did believe that parish councils should have a greater role to play when proposals s ig n if i­ cantly affect their area — particularly with regard to planning. They called for g rea te r statutory consul­ tation rights and a system of finance supported by Government grants in the same way as is done for district councils.

A certain amount of funding would be avail­ able and the community council has a sports equip- m e n t 1 o a n s c h e m e , through which all types of equipment can be loaned at a small cosL. The ques- t io n n a i r e s sh o u ld be returned to the post office or village newsagent as soon as possible, and if necessary a public meeting can then be arranged to take the matter further.
