Public says no to parking fees


ALMOST 3,000 people in Clitheroe have said no to ear parking charges — and the Chamber of Trade has reacted by calling for a public inquiry.


Chamber of Trade by signing a petition calling on the borough council not to go ahead with the charges. Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans has added his support to the chamber's campaign, saying shoppers could stop

coming to the town. The anti-car parking charge petition — signed in just


two days — had been left in shops around town. The petition is the chamber’s reaction to the council’s


decision, three weeks ago, to earmark Ribble Valley car parks as an extra source of income, as part of a bid to cut the budget deficit. Chamber president Mrs Judith Hitchen said: “My


customers are totally against charges. They are saying that if they are going to have to pay for parking, then they might as well go' into a bigger town, such as Accrington, where parking remains free.” The 3,000-name petition was presented by chamber


tee meeting. Coun. Holtom said he was pleased to receive the petition, but felt not everyone was opposed to charges, for he had received calls from people who said they would be prepared to pay modest fees. It was during the petition hand-over that the cham­


ber called on the council leader to hold a public inquiry before charges were introduced. Chamber members were reacting to the committee


report which said that, if there was tremendous oppo­ sition to the scheme, the council could hold a public inquiry. However, the report added that the council was not obliged to do so.


that the council might ask the traders themselves to patrol the car parks to keep an eye open for non-fee payers. Mrs Hitchen, the proprietor of Peter Harrison ladies’ wear, Castle Street, said: “Who does the council think we are? Mind you, we will probably be so quiet if the charges are introduced that we will have time to police the car parks.”


But the real slap in the face for traders is the news

tions could soon be part of the plan. The Environmental and Social Services Committee


at its meeting last week heard that the Government was strongly committed to increase the level of recy­ cling waste materials and had targeted the year 2000 for recycling 50% of all the country’s household waste. In a written report, the council’s Director of Devel­ opment, Mr David Morris, explained that in order to meet the national target the council needed to develop new and innovative ways to provide more recycling opportunities within the borough. It was expected that £30,000 would be available for


initiatives during 1996/97, and a bid had also been made for an extra £18,000 from the Department of the Environment, specifically for spending on home


composting. During 1994/95, 1,141 tons of waste paper, glass,


ferrous metals and textiles was recycled in the Ribble Valley. Mr Morris’s report explained that at the pres­ ent time there were only a small number of Ribble Valley sites to which members of the public could take materials for reycUng. The council was involved in only one site.However, Ribble Valley was now looking at the pos­ sibility of introducing a kerbside or doorstep collection service.“The opportunity of linking up with Lancashire

Morris said that it was hoped to encourage more local households to consider taking part in such a scheme. Practical guidance and advice would be made available to any individual, group or business needing help. The farming community would also be targeted for

composting green waste. The idea was that the council would collect green waste at the kerbside from house­ holds and deliver it to the farmer, who would use his land, buildings and equipment to turn the waste into
