Inquiry call on foot


and mouth


o rt indicated much mis­ handling of the foot and mouth outbreak by the Department of Environ­ ment, Food and Rural Affairs. He added: "With­ in Lancashire we have seen our farming communities brought to the brink of destruction and some have gone o u t of business because of this outbreak. "Other industries th a t


are dependent on our farming way of life have also been devastated. A full public inquiry by Lan­ cashire County Council would give all interested parties the opportunity to have their say on how they have been affected by this dreadful disease. "Devon's public inquiry


believes the Government ignored the recommenda­ tions of the inquiry follow­ ing the 1967 outbreak." Mr Evans concluded by


saying he was sure there were many similarities between the outbreaks in th e two counties while adding th a t there could also be peculiarities tha t only a Lancashire inquiry would bring out. He said: "If the Government refus­


es to have a full public inquiry itself, then Lan­ cashire County Council will have to do it itself."

Whalley residents have their say on ‘where do we go from here?


A MAJOR "where do we go from here" question faces people in Whalley. Two years of work by a special vil-


lage appraisal committee has resulted in a lengthy repor t, presented to a


public meeting on Tuesday. "The next stage is to draw an action


plan for th e fu tu re , tak in g in to account the factual material and the opinions collected together here, says


the report. Members have deliberately made no


suggestions or even sought conclu­ sions, preferring to leave th a t to the next stage of the process.


Many of th e findings of the appraisal were totally expected, but


others came as a surprise. Residents in general did not want


any more building or development in the village, b u t their dislike of the number of the vehicles going through the village was far stronger than any­


one expected. O Whalley is making big plans to


mark the Queen's golden jubilee next year. A major sports and family day and a pageant are planned. I t is also hoped to re create a 1902 souvenir


book in modern form. WI DIARY DATES
