vehicles. The consultants have
been looking at the net work of roads and lanes around Chipping and Slaidburn. Many of the lanes are of great his toric and ecological interest, perhaps dating from medieval times and are an essential part of the landscape character of the area. As well as being routes to and from the villages, all are quite important for people, goods and services to access property and land. Some of the roads are quite busy traffic routes, while others are

The lanes may have good links to local footpaths or bridle ways, or be part of favourite walks or rides. I t is not intended that cars should be excluded from such lanes, rather that the lanes become routes along which non- motorised users might be treated with extra
care. Two displays, with

are to be sought on which local lanes are, or
maps and pictures of local routes are taking place. The first was held in Chipping earlier in October for two days, and the second takes place today at the Chapel, Slaidburn, between 2 p.m. and 9
p.m.
Did you spot suspicious vehicles? POLICE appealed this week for
information about any vehicles seen acting suspiciously at the weekend in the vicinity of a building site at Brockhall Village, Langho.
