to Clitlieroe police about the movement of lorries, as they enter and leave the loading area of Kec- tella international, by Mrs


Angela Kay and other con­ cerned residents, who have described the lorries as dangerous, dirty, and a noisy hazard. Mrs Angela Kay, who


lives on Peel Street, said: “ It’s terribly dangerous; the waggons are far too big and they shouldn’t be


allowed in a residential area. They create noise and the system is comple­ tely wrong.” Her views are shared by

Health authority wins its Bramley Meade appeal


THE former Bramley Meade Maternity Home at Whalley could become a hotel serving the tourist trade, following a successful appeal


by the North West Regional Health Authority. 'The health authority appealed against a decision by Kibble Valley Council,

tions at the inquiry into the hotel scheme came from local residents con­ cerned that it could lead to noise, nuisance and [lark­ ing problems in Wiswell Lane, where users, they claimed, already suffered nuisance and hazard from existing parking. But the inquiry inspec­


tor, Miss Susan Rolstrone, concluded that restaurant and hotel users tended to seek jiarking close to the facilities. “ In my opinion, given the distance of the building to the road, cus­ tomers would be unlikely to park on Wiswell Lane if there were [larking spaces available within the site," she declared. in her written state


me lit', the inspector also pointed out that she did not consider that the acti­ vities within the building, such as wedding reeep tions and musical enter­ tainment, would create undue disturbances from noise to nearby residents. Miss Rolstrone said she


was satisfied that the pro­ posed development would be consistent with and assist towards “ devel­ opment plan objectives’’ to find alternative uses for institutional building com­ plexes and to improve tourist facilities.

lan Riddoeh, added: “The lorries are a nuisance and a danger to children. They start in the early hours and are still there late at night.” He continued: “We have


all got to make a living, but enough is enough, livery time l go outside, there’s one [larked on the ]iath. I just wish they’d sort it out.”


However, Rectella’s


chief executive, Mr 1 an Rendlcbury, said the prob­ lem might soon be solved, with the proposed devel­ opment of tlie factory’s Bundle Road loading bay.


He said: “The company


continues to upgrade this old building ano has com­


pleted this year the first phase of a roof replace­ ment project, at a cost of £150,000.'”


He continued: “ Phase


two of the project, at a similar cost, is planned to be undertaken in the autumn of this year, or during 1903. This will


’ include the development of the loading bay facility on Pendle Road, thus allow-


mg our charcoal delivery vehicles to be off-loaded w ith in the fa c to r y perimeter.”

explained that Rectella’s sales had increased pro­ gressively and that the operation of the factory was conducted safely, without, he felt, detriment to the environment and within the requirements of the law.


He also explained that


the factory, which pro­ duces the charcoal-based product Bar-Be-Quick, was important to the local economy, with its employ­ ment of 50 people.

LOCAL charities are set to benefit from a dog walk held by Clitlieroe Rotary Club on


Sunday. Over 30 people and 20 dogs set off in beaulilui


weather on a nine-kilometre walk from the Cas­ tle Cement car park, in West Bradford, and fol­ lowed the river footpath up to Grindlelon, where they crossed the bridge, returning along the oppo­


site bank. Mr Barrie Lancaster, who organised the walk,


said that alter a few minor snarls from some of the participants at the start, it progressed without incident. Mr Lancaster has appealed for sponsors to


return their sponsorship forms with the money as soon as possible, so that they can claim their free five-kilogram bag of dog food. The proceeds will mainly go towards improve­


ments at Clitheroe’s Pendle Club for senior citizens.

Markets can also benefit the local communities


A WHALLEY nvin has hit out at Sunday market “whingers” who should instead consider the benefit ol the markets to the community.


Mr Michael Green, of Old Row, Barrow, [jointed


out that, since 19S3, Whal- ley’s Queen Elizabeth II Playing Field Trust; of which he is secretary and former chairman of 10 y ea rs ’ standing, has received nearly as much money from market organ­ isers, Ray Promotions, as it lias from Ribble Valley Council. He said: “ Since 19S3,


Ray Lyndon has given the playing fields over £11,000. In that same period, we have had just over £8,000 from Ribble Valley Coun­ cil and £173 from Whalley Parish Council. “ Donations received


from the market on June 21st alone totalled £5S2 and 1 must, by the way, thank all those who gave so generously. We would never be able to raise this kind of money normally.” Mr Green’s claim comes

in the same week that Gis- burn Parish Council, which lias campaigned for a cessation of the markets in Gisburn, pointed out that it was no longer receiving money from Ray Promotions. An article in the June


parish magazine stated that £100 was received for each market until January 10th, after which Ray Lyndon had said he would “ support some other charity.” When asked why he no


longer supported Gisburn Parish Council, even though his markets con

tinue unabated, Mr Lyn­ don replied: “The benefi­ ciaries of the money are the very people taking action against the mar­ kets. No one in their right mind would finance their own funeral!" He continued: “ We


donate the money volun­ tarily and they are still welcome to it, but not while they are taking a c t ion a g a in s t the markets.” The question of the


benefits of Sunday mar­ kets lias arisen amid the fears of some Whalley residents that their village might meet the same fate as Gisburn, with markets held every week in winter and once a month during summer. However, Mr Lyndon


explained: “We can legally hold 14 markets a year in


Whalley, but, out of con­ sideration for villagers, wo only hold five. Gisburn is different, because it is a licensed market, which means, technically, we can hold a market there every week, but we don’t do that either.”


Mr Green also said that


the market organisers did all in their power to ensure that traffic flowed smoothly while the mar­ kets are in progress and objected to accusations of so-called traffic chaos.


He said: “Positive steps


were taken to ensure that the problems experienced three weeks ago didn’ t happen again. The traffic at the last market, on June 21st, flowed much more smoothly. I don’t think there’s anything more the organisers can do.”


Celebrating in style


SLAIDBURN SILVER BAND played at Clitli- eroe Bandstand to celebrate National Music Day


on Sunday. A selection of marches and dance music was per­


formed before a packed audience, who were encouraged to join in the musical fun. A member of the audience played the sand blocks to an excerpt from the Sand Paper Ballet. A collection taken for the “Blow for Asthma”


charity raised over £70. The band is now preparing for a joint concert


with the East Woodney Band, of Newbury, Berk­ shire. It also intends to present both indoor and outdoor concerts on July ISth and 19th, at least one of which will he held at Calderstones Hospital, Whalley.

Man set fire to marquee in ;


Castle grounds A MAN walking his clog in Clitlieroe Castle -,


grounds late at night alerted police to a fire at-", a marquee on the eve of the Castle l*air‘- last month, the town’s magistrates were told.


Craig John Furness

lire.. Prosecutor Miss Lesley


Rossall told the court that just after midnight on May 25th the man passed two youths sitting on a bench near the marquee and when he returned the tent had been partially let down. Shortly afterwards he noticed that it had been let down a little further and lie contacted the police. In the meantime, he


kept watch on the situa­ tion and saw two figures in the grounds at the time flames started coming


from the marquee. The youths sat on a wall and then appeared to watch the progress of the fire.


Miss Rossall said that


when the police arrived they put out the flames which had caused a hole the size of a dinner plate They found Furness lying down in hushes. He told the officers that two other youths had also been involved, but gave 111 officers their first names only and they were never traced. Furness claimed that


one of the other youth: had a cigarette lighter, but


admitted lie had used chip"' wrappers to set the niar-J quee on fire. He told the. court he had been unem­ ployed for nearly two years and had nothing to., say in respect of the'''' offence. He was fined i'liO for


causing damage by fire to the marquee, belonging to Pennine Marquees, and, ordered to pay £227 com--, pensation and £35 costs.
