view that councillors from other parts of the Ribble Valley had no understand ing of the problems faced by Ribchester residents, as a result of its narrow streets, lack of private car parking spaces and popu- iarity with visitors. This lack of understanding was exemplified by the sugges tion which has been made that coaches should be banned from the car park. The suggestion, it was felt, completely ignored the fact that the Roman Museum attracts over 18,000 visitors a year, 32 per cent of them schoolchildren, who travel to the village in coaches. A ban on coaches on the car park would cause complete chaos in the village and would result eventually in schools ceasing to visit the village, a development which would have serious implications for the muse um's future survival, as well as depriving local schools of a valuable educations resource.
