Chicane solution to culvert snag near village was risk to life, says councillor


by Julie Frankland


LIVES are being put at risk by a lack of money to spend on maintain­ ing the Ribble Valley's


roads. This warning comes from


Bolton-by-Bowland's bor­ ough council representative, Coun. Philip Nierop, who has branded as "ill-con­ ceived and dangerous" action taken by Lancashire County Council just last week to tackle a problem on one of the routes into the village. According to Coun.


Nierop, contractors from its Highways Department, without warning or prior consultation with either the village parish council or Ribble Valley Borough Council, created-a chicane area at the apex of a bend, on the Sawley to Bolton- by-Bowland road, near its junction with Lambing Clough Lane. Their work has had the


effect of producing single­ file traffic over the culvert which runs underneath the road at this point, with pri­ ority given to vehicles trav­ elling from Sawley. Told that this was to

groups. Some could be called the "old timers," who over the years had seen it all, done it all and yet still continue to come back for more. Some are still finding their feet, but pressing on regardless and enjoy­ ing themselves in the process. The third group was really the most important — those who had attended for the first time to hear and see what it was all about. It was hoped that they left having discovered that a speakers' club is not a sort of dry-as- dust night school. It is a club where every­ one has the opportunity to learn by doing, but no one is forced into anything. Above all, it provides the opportunity for each to realise their potential and so benefit in their place of work by increasing their con­


fidence. The evening's programme was a wel­
