m Retires after 21 years serving justice


AFTER Clitheroe said farewell to i ts cour t only last year, one of i t s r e s i d e n t s h a s retired from his long- serving career in the


service of justice. Mr George Clarkson, of


Withgill Farm, has retired at the age of 70 as a


magistrate, after serving 21 years on the Burnley Bench.

good for them.” Mr Clarkson (pictured


when he was Rotary presi­ dent) will now have more time to spend with his family, which includes three grandchildren.

Properties planned


PLANS for a housing association development in Gisburn have been critic­ ised as “over-intensive.” Conn. Catherine Hooper


(Gisburn) told a meeting of the Kibble Valley Coun­


cil's Housing Committee that residents were con­ cerned about the number of houses being proposed for the Travellers Rest site. She noted that some


considered the 21 houses


and bungalows which were planned to be over-inten- sivc for a conservation area and believed the size of the properties and


rooms was too small. ‘Gisburn has a great


need for some housing,


particularly on this site, both for our young people


and agricultural workers who are coming off the and when they retire,”


Coun. Hooper said, hut noted that some would “rather have none at all" than those proposed. Director of environmen­


tal services Mr David Mor­ ris said a meeting with the


parish council and Salford Community Housing Asso­ ciation had been arranged to resolve such problems.

The main subject of her exhibition is animals, but she has also touched on the subject of Egypt. Most of the paintings are water­ colours, along with some oils and pen and ink draw­ ings. The exhibition runs until August 27th.


Library use on the increase


LIBRARY users in the Ribble Valley are borrow­ ing more books and videos, the Ribble Valley Coun­ cil’s Recreation and Leisure Committee was told. District librarian Miss Barbara Snell told council­


lors that there had been a 2.4% increase in the num­ ber of books boiTowed and an 11% increase in the number of videos borrowed. Miss Snell informed the committee that “The Clith­


eroe Advertiser and Times” had now been indexed at the library until 1980. “This is still proving to be one of the most useful tools in the local styidies section,” she commented.

Village halls come in

VILLAGE halls were described as good invest­ ments, by a Ribble Valley councillor, at a meeting of the council’s Recreation and Leisure Committee. Councillors agreed to


grant Whalley tillage Hall £7,3(h), as well as i'li'iO to the now up-and-running West Bradford Village Hall. Coun. Allan Kay (Chaig­


ley) praised the massive fund-raising work under­ taken by both villages. He said: “These village


halls are a good invest­ ment, especially when you consider the amount of money that the villagers raise themselves. The vil­ lage halls provide excel­ lent facilities, as well as somewhere for young peo­ ple to go.”
