AT LONG last the future of the rail service, between Clitheroe Blackburn, appears to be on the right track.


After hearing that the


service should be resumed in May l!)i)l, Ribblc Valley Council’s Planning and Development Committee decided to take a strong land, supporting the


future of the line under any British Rail successor. Committee members


heard that while the Government White Paper on railways did not sug­ gest that there would be a problem carrying forward


the current agreement to any future operator or track authority, British Rail could not guarantee that a successor would maintain the stance.

PROPOSED alterations at the Pendle Club, Lower- gate, Clitheroe, were approved by the Ribble Val­ ley Council’s Planning and Development


Committee. The application from the Clithoroe Old People s


Welfare Committee requested consent lor the change of use of an adjoining property for use as part of the Pendle Club. Plans include extending the current premises into the recently purchased cot­ tage, as well as a number of internal alterations. Permission was granted on tho condition that the


buildings are insulated under a scheme approved by the council.


and


that the committee write directly to the Govern­ ment, suggesting any suc­ cessor take full responsi­ bility for the line.


“I think we can take a
