Loan will pay for wall repair


REPAIRS to a retaining wall in Waddington will be paid for with an interest-


free loan from Ribble Valley Borough Council. Initially the village's


parish council had asked for the project to be funded by


the borough, but when it became apparent that it was not the authority's responsibility a request for


a partnership to be formed was made. Members of the bor­


ough's Policy and Finance Committee agreed to give Waddington an interest- free loan of £5,000 over a five-year period which would cover the whole of the construction costs. A report to committee also said that Castle Cemenet had donated £150 towards the repairs.

Tailor-made feeding for heifers is vital


DESPITE agriculture's problems, plenty of farm­ ers are still very much in business - and are regular­ ly given advice by Clitheroe-based Dugdale


Nutrition. The long-established firm


with a new name based at Bellman Mill, Clitheroe, is naturally keen enough to encourage farmers to feed their stock properly. Product manager Mr


Bryn Davies says that the average dairy herd is losing up to £5,000 per year through reduced milk yield,


overly high replacement rates and too high a propor­ tion of cows failing to accept first service. Silage analysis results


this year show a high pro­ portion of material has low crude protein levels, says Mr Davies. It needs com­ plementing with specifical­ ly-tailored heifer rearing


rations. "Failure to attach suffi­


cient importance to heifer rearing is holding the UK back in the performance league compared with Europe and America," sug­ gests Mr Davies.

OBJECTIONS by the Council for the Protection of Rural England to a barn conversion at Cow Ark were not supported by planning officers. The Ribble Valley Bor­


ough Council Planning Committee followed a rec­ ommendation to allow Hamilton Associates to


convert a barn at Marl Hill Farmhouse, Cow Ark, into


two homes. One will have four bed­


rooms and the other three. A report to the commit­ tee pointed out that permis­


| sheep at Clitheroe Auction Mart on August 7th were 568 head. Top prices were: Suffolk


FORWARD at the weekly sale of store lambs and


lambs made to £27.20, Texel lambs to £26.50, Charollais lambs to £25.20, Mule wethers to £20, horned wethers to £17. At the mart's weekly sale


sion had previously been granted for a smaller con­ version plan. Planning offi­ cers agreed with the CP RE that the barn was isolated and the inhabitants would be car dependent. But this applied to many Ribblo Valley buildings becoming surplus to requirements. This one is part of a


group containing a listed farmhouse, and it was important that the group be retained, and a new sym­ pathetic use found for the buildings, said the report.

New system at Castle


A PLAN for a new clinker conveying system at Castle Cement, Clitheroe, has been granted planning permis­


sion. It will comprise conveyors, gantries and an extension


to a penthouse. Permission has been granted by officials of Ribble Valley Borough Council, acting under their delegated powers.
