mind is why don’t we, the responsible and

I WOULD like to draw attention to the ongoing litter and dog fouling on our streets in Clitheroe. I am absolutely fed up with the lack of respect in the way some people treat our footpaths, our streets and gardens. I can guarantee every


day I am moving dog fouling or litter from in front of my house. When I talk about litter I talk about the inconsiderate people at night who are drunk and ju s t throw their empty takeaways


I have, of course, - '


town, but it is let down by the disgusting habits of the disrespectful dog owners and litter bugs. I am personally going to contact Nigel Evans and ask him if there is some­ thing more we can do to stop this disgusting problem and, if neces­ sary, I will take it as far as the Prime Minister, to help keep this town


clean. NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED.


Teen yob


culture ALTHOUGH I have lived in Clitheroe for some years, I had not experienced a Friday evening in the town until yesterday.


Girls dressed in "mini­ . .


mum" skirts, tank tops and platform shoes whooping and racing down the streets from pubs bulging a t the


seams. Some, or most, of the


girls looked to be, seen close up, as young as 15 or 16. The "boys"-who presumably buy their drinks - considerably


or even full takeaways on the footpath or in gar­ dens.

asked these people,not to throw their l i t te r and either take i t home or put it in the bin just a few'yards from where they are standing. All you get back is verbal abuse and they continue with the abuse and to laugh. By the time you phone the police to com­ plain, the perpetrators


are well gone. The dog fouling is


even worse: for example, Highfield Road, from top to bottom is covered in the stuff. Once again, when you ask the people not to allow their dogs to do this, you just get ver­

th a t embraces the par­ ents of these vulnerable


young people? If, for instance, your idea of a good time is to sit with your friends and neigh­ bours and drink yourself legless, is it at all surpris­ ing that the new hedo­ nism encompasses your at-risk children?
