Democrats Coun. Howcl Jones (Clitheroe) intro­ duced a motion which would have overturned an earlier Environmental and Social Services Committee decision against support­ ing a ban. “ I f the tests can provide


conclusive evidence that the burning of Cemfuel is e n v i ro n m entail y m o re acceptable tlum the burn­ ing of coal, I shall be delighted,” be said. “ At present, we are not at that stage and, because of the element of doubt, I believe a moratorium is called for. "There is considerable


concern in Clitheroe and the surrounding villages. I look forward to the time when there is a complete clean bill of health." Hut Coun. Harry Wad-


dington (Gisburn), who cast the deciding vote against a ban during the previous meeting, intro­ duced an amendment opposing a moratorium. Coun. Harry Backhouse (Bashall Eaves) moved the


amendment, which called for HMIP to proceed with independent monitoring,


make the results public, conduct a full and open discussion about them and make a decision on tile future burning of tile fuel before the end of March. The amendment inclu­


ded points from Coun. Jones's motion that health


checks, screening and monitoring be arranged with the director of public health and that H.MIl’ carry out soil and vegeta­ tion tests in the farming areas surrounding Castle Cement. During a recorded vote.


21 councillors supported the amendment, while 12 members opposed it, favouring a moratorium. These were Conns H.


Jones. B. Jones. Dyson. Grimes. Holt, Kel ly. Lowe. McGowan. .McWil­ liam. Pye, M. Sutcliffe and

Selected as candidate


FORMER ,\1P Mr Mielmel Cure bus been unani­ mously sniveled ns prus- pnet i vn Bari iament ary candidate fur the Kibble Valley Liberal Democrats. Meeting ill Clitheroe


L ib r a r y , the pa r ty selected Mr Carr to stand for the seal for the fifth time. Mr Carr stressed that


the Liberal Democrats had made steady gains in bor­ ough and county council elections since the summer of 1«)!I2. Mr Carr , who is a


teacher and lives in Bacup, firmly believes that there is every possibility of repeating his election suc­ cess of 1!!!)2.


Coun. Bert Jones (Clith­


eroe) threw his support behind the original motion, urging members to be together on the issue. Earl ier he had com­


mended RATS, noting that Ribble Valley resi­ dents owed the group a “great debt of gratitude” for the tune and money spent on tryinjj to make certain the quality of Rib- ble V a l le y l i fe was protected. Coun. Ted Boden (Chat-


burn) expressed faith in HMIP and doubt about whether anything would b e g a i n e d f r o m a moratorium. Coun. Denis McWilliam


(Clitheroe) countered that allowing the fuel to he burned until a decision was made could mean "six months of further poison­ ing." He also highlighted his concern about possible


dangers to mothers in the Kibble Valley from poten­ tial dioxin emissions. Colin. Joyce Lilhurn


(Bolton-bv-Bowland) crit­ icised the fact that the leader of the Liberal Democrats had brought


the motion and accused Coun. Howel Jones of turning the issue into a political one. Conn. Jones responded:


“ It would have been a dereliction of my duty as a ward councillor in the area of the cement works if I hadn’t taken the matter up.


Coun. Stephen Sutcliffe


(Clitheroe) called the way the entire Cemfuel issue had been handled a “long catalogue of incompeten­ cies," but warned against "Castle-bashing” and emphasised the need for both an environmentally friendly and economic cement plant in Clitheroe. Coun. Allan Kay (Chaig-

lev) commented: "At pres­ ent there is no good reason to stop the burning of Cemfuel. I have every confidence in HMIP.” Coun. John Tra vis


(Si moil stone) continued: "The amendment is more


precise and more accurate. A moratorium would merely stop a full investi­ gation. We .should try to see that every test that can be done is done."


Families are focus of two special church services
