Muslims preparing for appeal over council mosque decision


MEMBERS of Clith- eroe's Muslim commu­ nity are preparing to appeal to the Secretary of State against Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil's decision to refuse planning permission for a mosque on a busy Clitheroe side street. . Ribble Valley borough voted

mosque. The reasons given were because of feared traffic, p a rk in g an d noise • problems resulting from the devel­ opment. A petition with over 600


signatures against the pro­ posed Holden Street devel­ opment was handed to Ribble Valley Borough Council planning officers, as well as a 100-strong peti­ tion in favour of it. Lead-


ing councillors promised that they would do all they could to find an alternative site for a mosque in the town: Mr Farooq Hussain and


Mr. Mohammed Arshad said they felt the applica­ tion for a mosque would have been turned down whatever the circum­ stances. They claimed they, were the victims of a "stitch-up," whereby three councillors who had backed the proposal a t a meeting of Clitheroe Town Council reversed their vote a t the crucial borough council Planning; and Development Committee meeting. Adding to their disappointment was the belief that only four coun- ■ cillors, to their knowledge, had taken up their offer of vis iting a. Blackburn mosque in the hope of reaching a more informed


viewpoint. MrT Hussain said: •••>»!&•<•

Euros for pint at the local

A BLAZE of publicity has followed the installa-. tion of a Euro till at a key Kibble Valley social and dining venue.


. . The move is seen as • groundbreaking from the commercial, • l ic e n s e d : tr a d e an d in deed EC . points of view. Mrs Alison Fisher, who


runs the Red1 Pump Inn and; res taurant, Bashall Eaves, with her husband, John, has been interviewed by several radio stations about the new equipment. -• I t is also being featured in the trade Press and is yet another national level exposure which helps the area's image. Few if any other places


in the country are so far ahead of events as the Red Pump: A BBC Radio Lan­ cashire announcer cap­ tured, the spirit of the occa­ sion when she said: "You


' can trust the Ribble Valley to be first.” '


. .. The till displays prices in


sterling and euros, and; Mrs Fisher emphasises th a t i t is by no means a gimmick.- "Although Britain is not


yet m the euro league, it is due to.be adopted by some


‘Eiiropeari'cduhtries," she says. ^ >bn,
