Chatburn allotment. Mr Hargreaves (pictured) could not believe


his eyes when he discovered (hat row after row o f his prized potatoes had not grown as nature


intended. “ During the war I grew 20 to *50 acres of pota­


toes and this never happened. These potatoes are no good; how am I going to peel them. , said Mr Hargreaves, o f Greenfield Drive,


Chatburn. Six rows were grown at his allotment and all


contained deformed spuds which were unrecog­ nisable as the nation’s favourite vegetable. He has now been forced to throw them away. The keen gardener has been successfully

2-1 (it). New bandstand in doubt A Q U E STION mark


hangs over proposals in the borough coun­ cil’s lottery bid plans to build a new band­ stand witli a bedouin


tent-type roof. It is also rumoured that


the total cost for the lot­ tery submission to trans­ form tile !KH)-year-oi(l cas­ tle and its 17-acre grounds could be around i"!.2um.


Warning to pensioners


POLICE are warning pensioners to be on their guard after a bogus police officer attempted to steal p ro p e r ty from an e ld e r ly C l ith e ro e


man’s home. Fortunately, the bogus


police officer left empty- handed after the elderly man told him to get out of his Eshton Terrace house on Tuesday morning. A C l ith e ro e po l ice


spokesman said the iden­ tity of callers should be checked before allowing them in and. if there is any doubt, then contact the police on 012S2 «Sl>:»l(il.


I f given the go-ahead,


the council would have to fund a quarter of the cost of the scheme. Borough councillors and


officers on the lottery bid co-ordinating group, the Rainbow Committee, are


now in the process of put­ ting the final touches to


to the lottery commission on Friday and rumours have been circulating that the proposed handstand will not be part of the final


the submission. This will be submitted


draft. Controversy has sur­


rounded the bandstand — an artist’s impression of how it might look can be seen on Page three of the supplement in this week’s paper — since the archi­ tects’ plans were unveiled last month. The council has always


made it clear that it wants to incorporate the public’s ideas in the scheme. A council spokesman


said that the committee is still working on the sub­ mission and it would be premature to make any comments before the final decision is made.


Advice on offer


FARMERS in the district are being offered advice on


how to keep the River Kibble free from agricul­ tural pollutants.

COUNCILLORS have overturned the recommenda­ tion of planning officers that a house he built on land at Ribblesdale Avenue, Clitheroe. Members of the Ribble Valley Council Planning


and Development Committee gave the development the thumbs-down after deciding it would set a danger­


ous precedent. Off icers recommended the development be


approved, claiming refusal could not be justified. Coun. Stephen Holt (Clitheroe) described the area as


unique and said the development should be resisted. Coun. Stephen Sutcliffe (Clitheroe) said: “ I f we are not careful, we will end up with piecemeal development on


this particular piece of land." Nearby residents claimed the property would he a blot on the landscape and would overlook their houses.
