Decision time soon as councillors take a look at future use of town’s two halls


Request for feasability study grant from the National Lottery by Tim Procter


WHAT is the long­ term future for Clitheroe Parish Church's elaborately constructed parish


had been thinking of mak­ ing their own application - and combining the two seemed to be the way for­ ward. There is no estimate at


hall? Thousands of hours


of valuable, and usual­ ly enjoyable, use have been obtained by churchpeople and oth­ ers from the hall's spa­ cious accommodation, o I t still hosts a wide variety of meetings and shows and you can even give blood there. But, for many people, it is how not so much a tra­ ditional building as an old-fashioned one. This week Ribble Val­


the moment of what money might be needed to ensure the future of the buildings. The figures depend on which might be used for what purposes - but, naturally, the council and the church would like the town to retain both if a t all possible. But although they comply with all legal requirements, bringing them up to mod­ ern amenity and appear­ ance standards will not be cheap. Applications for grants


ley Borough Council is taking a key step towards a decision about the future of the hall - and its own Civic Hall, only a short distance away, An application for a


for feasability studies are dealt with fairly quickly. There are hopes th a t , if this one is successful, con­ sultants could be a t work by the summer. The council is already


feasability study grant is being sent to the Lottery arts board. It will be to pay for a consultant's study of the needs of the area and how one, or both, buildings could meet them if refur­ bished to modern stan­ dards. 1 The church authorities

Landowners PLANNING warned to be IN THE prepared | PIPELINE for walkers


FARMERS and landown­


ers are being warned to prepare now for waves of weekend walkers who, as the weather improves, are expected to descend on the


Ribble Valley. Clearly marking the


routes of rights of way on their land is key to manag­ ing public access to the local countryside, accord­ ing to th e Country Landowners' Association. I t warns that poor sign­


ing encourages walkers to follow their own paths and


diversions. While detr im ental to


land management, this could also lead to unofficial ways being claimed as sec­ ondary public access routes by virtue of their populari­


ty and usage. • The association has pro­ duced waymarker packs to help farmers pre-empt path problems. The packs come in three colour schemes - yellow waymarkers for public footpaths, blue for bridleways and red for by-


’ways open to all traffic. Each pack costs £4 and


consists of 10 markers and an information sheet. For further details, contact the association's regional office on 01423 563713.
