Town’s first £5,500 youth shelter is planned for Henthorn Park
by Vivien Mason
THE top end of Hen- thorn Park has been chosen as the site for Clitheroe's first youth shelter, where young sters can gather away from residential proper
ties. With a completion date
estimated to be just a few weeks away, the building, thought to cost around £5,500, will be similar in style to one erected in Longridge around six months ago and which has been used in th a t time without problems. The round shelter, offi

some time ago though the problem of where to put it had to be overcome. "Understandably no one

THE last few weeks seem to have been dominated by public holidays and they all seem to have fallen very close to each other this year.
Fortunately, we have had some rea sonably good weather for some of the time which has attracted visitors to our part of the world, as well as being enjoyable for the local residents.
The weather remained fine for the Mayor's Sunday parade and the route was extended in response.
If those of you living in the Church Brow area were wondering why the road was, for a short time, closed to traffic, it was to ensure the safety of all those on the parade who had to form up and disband outside the council offices.
ON the crime front, tools and heavy plant continue to be top of
As well as heavy plant - those huge machines, diggers, JCB, track laying vehicles etc. — more portable items are stolen. Some times we wonder how these large vehicles can be taken so easily and without anyone noticing. So, if you see a low loader moving this sort of plant at unusual times, we would like to hear from you. These thefts are usually of high value and these vehicles then seem to disappear off the face of the earth. Smaller tools

being stolen include Stihl saws, angle grinders, compressors,

routers saws and drills.
THOSE of you who have caravans, especially on sites, also beware of leaving valuable items in them when they are not in use. It is obvious to the thief that you do not spend all your time in the caravan and we would advise that a neighbourly approach would help solve the issue. That is, look out for each other and be aware of strangers or cars visit ing at unusual times.
CAN we also appeal once again to motor cyclists, not all of whom are local, but the fine weather encourages motor cyclists to visit this area, or at least pass through.
We would ideally prefer it if we did n’t have to attend these acci dents, if the riders took into account that other road users are also wanting to enjoy our coun tryside and the motorists them selves were on the lookout for the riders, who all too often they do not see. Then, perhaps, our roads would be a safer place.
we have a heavy influx of motor cyclists, especially those on big bikes. Inevitably, along with this influx, we attend accidents where motor cyclists are involved; speed, narrow country roads, combined with other road users perhaps unfamiliar with our roads, all combine to create an accident scenario. It would be unfair to apportion blame on the motor cyclists, but there is no doubt that, if they are involved in accidents, they are more likely to be subject to serious, or fatal, injuries.

_ FINALLY, a word to local parents
The Castle and its grounds are at the centre of our historic town and are a credit to those who maintain it. Much effort has been put into making it a place where all generations can enjoy the amenities provided. Our senior citizens enjoy sitting on the benches, particularly at the Castle gates, and the skate park is popular with those children who like that activity. The sad fact is that somebody's child delights in spoiling other people's enjoyment. Benches, street lights and the bowling green have all been subject to vandal ism, along with other parts of the grounds.
The cost of repairing these items has now become exorbitant. Most of the children using the Castle grounds enjoy the facili ties and do not cause any dam age. Unfortunately, it once again is the minority who spoil things
We are determined to take a posi tive stance in relation to this behaviour and, working in con junction with the local authori ty, anyone found causing any

damage will be prosecuted. We would remind all parents that compensation can be sought from them to cover the cost of repairing any damage. It would, of course, be far better if we did not need to go to these lengths and everyone could safely enjoy the Castle grounds in the sum mer months.
