Minks, who would take the girls for rides in his car, and had previously asked him to “ stop pestering” them, hut on the day in quest ion he lost his temper. Denwood denied kicking

puted the claim that Minks had spent two nights in

from her building society account and the cheque was paid into one of the defendant’s bank accounts and later withdrawn in

half years. Robert McKnight (20),


o f Walmsley C lo se , Church, pleaded guilty to handling stolen goods and was jailed for six months. Mr John Jackson, prose­


cuting, told Preston Crown Court that work was done at Miss Taylor’s home, where she lived with her elderly father, in April this year. At first the work was


done by two men, but on another occasion Walsh turned up with them. On April (ith, Walsh told

Nursing home approval


COUNCI BBORS have approved plans for a new nursing home in the grounds <>[ Manor House, Budge


Road, Chatburn. Planning and Development Committee memocis .


i approved the move despite objections from residents, j who claimed the home would increase the tral Re­


using Clough Bane.


Residents also said the budding would have a harmful effect on the environment, especially as it is


.........


located in the Chatburn conservation area. Councillors acknowledged there could he a trallic problem on Clough Bane, hut agreed that a turning


space for traffic* would help to reduce it. Conditions were also made that the nursing home


should implement a tree planting scheme alter the completion of the home, in order to maintain the


environment. ______________ ____________


arrested and Walsh was [licked out at an identifica­


tion parade by a neighbour of Miss Taylor’s. Walsh’s van, used at the house, was also traced to him.


Mr Arthur Stuttard,


representing Walsh, said his c l ien t had been approached by a third man, who was already car­ rying out repair work at the house.


Walsh was asked to do


two days labouring work and provide his van. He was then asked to try and arrange a bank account into which a cheque could be [laid. Mr Stuttard said Walsh


then involved McKnight, who he knew had an


account. He said that Walsh did not see any of the £7,000, but accepted he was involved in the matter. He added that the other person involved had pocketed all the money.


Mr Simon Newell,


representing McKnight, said his client accepted he had allowed his bank account to he used. He was not involved in the bogus repair work and had only received a small sum of money in return for the use of his account.


Passing sen ten ce ,


Recorder Mr Tony Ensor said: “You both played a part in the fraud of an innocent lady in which she lost £7,000. I consider this to be a serious fraud.”


Station problem is unlikely to delay line’s opening


A DECISION to defer the planning application for Bangho Railway station is unlikely to delay the open­


ing of the new line in May. At a meeting of Kibble


Valley Council’s Planning and Development Commit­ tee, councillors approved applications for stations at Ranisgreave and Whalley, hut decided to defer the Bangho decision alter pro­ tests from local residents. Council planning man­


ager Mr Stewart Bailey reassured the council that the decision to defer was not “absolutely disastrous” to the opening of the


railway. Residents oil Whalley


Road, Bangho, are con­ cerned that the positioning of the southbound plat­


form will prove to he a nuisance. The problems they have cited are noise from both the trains and public address system, lit­ ter in gardens, a loss of privacy, [larking, and a


security threat. Residents claim the


problem could he solved if the platform is moved to the site of the original. However, the county sur­ veyor has said that this site would not comply with transport standards. This was supported by


Mr Bailey, who said that he believed that moving the platform was not the answer to any of the resi­ den ts’ problems. He explained: “Moving the platform would shift the problem from one part of j Bangho to another.”
