AN awiinl-winninc: Clitli- oroo restaurateur has said that local shopkeepers should stop their Christmas humbug and sort out their


own 3 uletide lighting. Mr David Brown, of Brown’s Bistro, 3 ot'k Street, has aroused


shopkeepers of expecting every­ thing to tie done for litem. But more controversy sur­ rounded the Christmas’ lights


Beware risk of fire is


message


VIGILANCE' is the mes­ sage to householders throughout t he Kibble Valiev as Christmas trim- ; mings invade our homes. Lancashire's chief fire


officer. Mr Gordon Kussel. warns of the increased risk of fire in the homo, par­ ticularly as houses become more crowded with friends and relatives visiting tor celebrations. "The traditional trap­


pings. such as decorations, candles, wrapping paper, t'hristmas tree and lights, can all become potential fire hazards.” he says. “ In homes whe re


smokers are present. always ensure that plenty


of ashtrays fin* cigarette ends and matches are available. Keep boxes of matches and lighters out of the reach of children. Do not smoke in bed, ! especially if you have been drinking. It is so eas\ to > fall asleep with a lighted cigarette in your hand.


) "Last thing at nijzlil i


ensure that all heating | appliances are switched off, ashtrays have been j emptied safely and all j electrical appliances not designed to stav on have been switched off and unplugged. Finally, close all doors.” Mr Kussel stresses the


importance of ensuring that everyone in the family knows what to do in l he e ve n t of a fi re .


saga this week, with the news that the town's lights have been sold to llyndlmrn Council. Mr Brown said: "No one has


made an effort. There are two Christmas trees in the whole of the centre of Clitheroe and abso­ lutely nothing at my end of town.


It is pitiful. “We can't just wait for the


council to do everything. I f everyone had done their bit out­ side their own shop, then Clith­


eroe would have looked much nicer, but the simple fact is, save for one or two shopkeepers, absolutely no one has made the


effort.” Last week, Clitheroe Chamber


of Trade member Mr Nigel l’ratt said the lack of Christmas lights in the town and the general calibre of display stemmed from an F.C directive banning the usual aeross-street lighting. The change had left the cham­


ber struggling to raise sponsor­ ship for a replacement scheme, then lumbered with delays, due to the weather and difficulties in meeting stringent safety requirements.


But Mr Brown said that shop­ keepers are responsible for their own Christ nuts lighting and. next year, should let the 5 ule­ tide spirit shine more brightly outside their own shops, before


complaining. Local traders contacted the "Advertiser and Times” this,,


week, expressing concern that ] Clitheroe’s festive lights hadJ been sold to llyndburn.


j Ironically, the centre ol|


Accrington, pictured on the front) page of last week's newspaper.; has been vaunted throughout; Hast Lancashire for its resplen-| dent Christmas lighting.
