History mustn’t repeat itself


Accessibility aim of new Ribble Valley group


B E T T ER acces s to public facilities is the


aim of a new campaign g ro u p la u n ch e d on Mo n d ay by Rib b le Valley Mayor Conn. Kate Hodgkinson. Focusing particularly'tin


to improve public access,


transport services, public facilities and buildings. Access Kibble Valley aims


particularly for the disa­ bled but also for other groups and individuals,


such as parents with young children. Supported by the Black­ burn, Hyndburn and kib­


ble Valley Council for Voluntary Service, ARV's membership includes representatives from ban- cashire County Council


and Ribble Valley Council, as well as from local


voluntary organisations, such as Age Concern, County Cars Clitheroc. the Contact Club and Crossroads Care Atten­ dants Scheme. , The initiative behind the


launch of ARV has come from Ribble Valley Trans­ port, a group made up of represent at ives from several local voluntary organisations that also launched the successful community-run transport scheme County Cars Clitheroe in 1992. Planning applications


Bailey, planning manager at Ribble Valley Council said: “It is unlikely that w e w o u 1 d h a v e t h e resources to appoint someone to look at access as their sole responsibility,


and proposals to improve access will be the group's main focus, as well as encouraging local authori­ ties to continue to improve

YOU are to be congratulated on the factual ami impartial way in which you have reported the use of Cemluel by Castle Cement, leaving readers to draw their own conclusions, when it could have been so easy, in the circumstances, to display scepticism. Castle Cement, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Pol­


lution and, perhaps, even the kibble Valley Council must come to realise that this is a very important matter, with national and wider implications for environmental health. It follows that people who have questioned this


matter are informed, have made an intelligent appraisal of tile situation (ladies and gentlemen, there are IQs out here running into three figures!) and are by no means reassured as to safety. Cemfucl has been in use for two-and-a-half years.

Arthur’s proud record


Y 0 U R o t h e r w i s e excellent obituary on my cousin Arthur Whi­ teside undervalues his service to the Old C I i t h e r o n i a n s ' Association. Although our asso­


ciation can trace its ori- gin back some 200 years, its chronicled


history dates largely from the end of the second world war, when Arthur, after demobilisation, set ab ou t g a th e r in g together old boys, many of whom had been unable to meet for a long time. As a tribute to those

who had fallen, the reunion was arranged for t h e w e e k e n d nearest to that of Remembrance Sunday, a tradition which we


have tried to observe to the present day. Arthur, as you men­


tioned, was the secre­ tary for 21 years and remained on the com­ mittee until his pass­ ing. Because of his many serious opera­ tions since his retire­ ment, his activities for


the old boys were lat­ terly restricted and he attended his last com­ mittee meeting two years ago; which means


that he served on the committee for nearly half a century, a record


of which anyone could be justifiably proud.
