OLYMIMCS-BOUNI) student Andrew Robinson is appealing to Clitheroe people to donate items which will best show off the Kibble Valley to the


rest of the world. The 21-year-old graduate, of Kirkmoor Road,


Clitheroe, has been chosen as an official represen­ tative in Barcelona for the British Olympic Association.


He is the only Kibble Valley representative to .


be included in the 20-strong group of young people from various parts of Britain who will be staying at the international youth camp. Andrew hopes to include a pair of Lancashire


clogs in his baggage — with any other souve­ nirs he obtains from the area — to help illustrate life iii the Kibble Valley to over 100 young people


from all parts of the world. lie won the all-expenses paid trip to the Lames

Prepared to shout for action on Pendle Road!


I REFER to Karp’s letter in last week’s “Clitheroe Advertiser and Times,” raising the very serious issue of the obvious bottle-, necks that the new Glee- son Estates development will create at both ends of Pendle Road. The final statement that No-one in the Pendle


Road area is concerned md little difficulty is fore­ seen” is not correct. I (and 12 other signa­


tories) wrote to the Ribble Valley Borough Council in February, referring to the


traffic flow problems, in particular the construction of a roundabout at the entrance to the devel­ opment and the need for a second access to the new


development. What lias become very


much apparent to me over the past six months is that, although the RVBC has authorised this sub­ stantial development, it has little interest in the highway and traffic issues. It obviously considers this strictly a county council matter and the responsi­ b i l ity o f the county surveyor.


The fact that by law a


single entrance is permis­ sible for this number of properties seems all that matters to the local authority and not real issues that must be recog­ nised by local people (including RVRC officers


Letters to the Editor


Worried about influx of cars


WITH reference to Lite letter last week from “ Karp,” I, too, am worried about the influx ol ears using' Pendle Road’s two main junctions when the new housing' development is


finished. I do not think there is


an immediate answer lor the traffic joining the main outer bypass at Four Lane Ends, unless a new enlrance/exit from Lhe development is planned. The motorists are going to have to be extremely


patient! However, at the Shaw­


bridge junction something will have to be done. Already between .3-30 and !l a. in. and at other peak t im e s ', f r ti s t r a t e d motorists are “jumping


out” all over the place, while others appear too nervous lo cross and con­ sequently there is soon a


big tailback. If there has not already


this junction when another 200 or so houses are built. Surely, delayed trallic


l igh ts would be the answer, so controlling the flow of traffic from Higher Shawbridge Street Lo Shawbridge itself and vice versa and also along the inner bypass.


Alternatively, a mini-


roundabout is worth con­ sideration. ’file residents of Whalley seem to have accepted that their traffic is now flowing easily through the village and I feel this may be a viable proposition here.


Please, let's do some­

and councillors). Following my letter to


the RVBC I recently atten d ed a mee tin g arranged by County Coun. Ron Pickup and including Mr Philip Bailey, Couns John Cowgill and Stan Thomas and two officers from the county surveyor's department. This was spe­ cifically to obtain informa­ tion on the proposed road layout opposite numbers -1(>-5‘1 Pendle Road. At the meeting, the


county surveyor’s traffic section officer stated that the junctions at either end of Pendle Road were already recognised as hazardous and under con­ sideration. While such a statement was made, there was no confirmation that action WOULD take place. The traffic problems


that the new development will create are almost too obvious to require shout­ ing about, but il that is the only way action takes place — l am shouting! 1 am asking the RVBC


to take the issue seriously and to pass a resolution that recognises the prob­ lem and the need for action to be taken at County Hall as a matter of urgency. I hope a lot more people do the same.

Alternative hall site


ITEM no. 12 on th agenda to be discussed by the Whalley and Littl Milton Parish Council at its meeting this evening reads: “ Use of the RVBC Depot, derelict building Station Road, Whalley." Will the parish council


consider allocating this building to the village hall committee to use as an alternative site for the Whalley village hall? Will Whalley and Little


Milton Parish Council also invite the “ anonymou benefactor” to donate the property at the back Queen Street. Whalley, to the Whalley doctors, use and develop, as they think fit, the Whall Health Centre?

Computer offer is snapped up


TWO Clitheroe primary schools have received new computers, thanks to an initiative by supermarket


chain Tosco. Children attending Pen­


dle County Primary School and Brookside School were


presented with the new Acorn computers by man­ ager of the Clitheroe store Mr Peter Hampson. During May, customers


spending £25’ in the store received a voucher which could be passed on to local schools. Once the neces­ sary number of vouchers had been collected they were redeemable against a computer or computer


equipment. Parents o f children


ittending the two local


primary schools quickly seized upon the oppor­ tunity to collect as many as possible to obtain the new equipment, which is now in use in the classroom.


Fined £100 for dum


rubbish ping


A BARROW man who dumped rubbish on a coun­ try lane near Clitheroe was fined £100 with £25 c o s ts by C 1 i t h e r o o magistrates. Giles William Shaw, of


Old Row, pleaded guilty by letter to dumping the rubbish in a side road to Slanden Hall. The court heard that


Shaw was seen dumping black plastic bags, which were later found to contain fibreglass, and a number of packing eases at the spot. The court heard that the


offence was traced to Shaw because computer papers in one of the bags contained his name and address. Shaw apologised lo the


court for the offence which, he said, was “totally out of character.

How sleepers solved unusual problem for village school


LETTING sleepers lie has not been the policy of Thorneyholme RC School, Dunsop Bridge, which has found a remarkable solution to prob­


lems with its septic tank. Problems arose when a


local authority survey of the school revealed the wire mesh covering the septic tank had rotted away and, under Health and Safety regulations, needed replacing with s o m e t h in g m o r e


substantial. But because Thorney-


holme is a church school, the Local Education Authority does not fund many of its outside reno­ vations, so the school was required to meet the cost


of making the tank safe. The quick-thinking


governors of the school then came up with the unique idea of using old wooden railway sleepers to cover the tank, and head teacher Mrs Pam Pardon contacted Regional Railways civil engineers in Manchester to enlist then-


aid. She said: “ When I


approached the civil engi­ neers I don’t think they thought I was serious about it. They seemed surprised that the school still operated on a septic tank! But they were very interested and keen to


help us out.” Railway spokesman Mr


Keith Lumley said: “ It seemed an unusual situa­ tion for a school to have to dig into its own funds to pay for a major job like that, so we were happy to donate the sleepers. We do sell our old wooden sleepers to people, but its usually for making fences. We’ve never been asked to c o v e r a s ep t ic tank before!”__________
