Backing for protesters over flats plan at terraced house


FIFTY objections have been received to a propos­ al for creating eight flats at an end-terrace house in Whalley Road, Clitheroe. Officials of Ribble Val­


. •


ley Borough Council say that making six flats in number 110 and enlarging the garage for two more would be over-intensive development. There would be consequent impacts on


residential amenity and highway safety, so refusal is recommended. The objectors made

numerous points, some of which were endorsed by the county council which said that the increase in traffic would be to the detriment of road safety and even if off-street park­ ing could be provided in the large, walled garden,


intensified use was unde­ sirable. The officials' report says


n o n n fo o n n r


that there are already three units of separate accommodation at the


house. The garage extension


would be unduly opp­ ressive and unneighbourly and the project as a whole would be cramped and over-intensive.

Public invited to have a say in the future shape of the town


by Robbie Robinson


THE future of Clitheroe is to be dis­ cussed at a second


public meeting. Following a well-


attended assembly in April, a group of 40 people was chosen to research a way for­ ward, a process titled "Clitheroe,


the


Future”. Subsequent accep­


tance of the town by the Countryside Agency as part of its market town initiative has reinforced the local group's work and the requirement to develop structured


plans. As a result, another


meeting will inform townspeople of the progress made by the group and explain the possibilities of the wider plans. It will be held on Thursday, November 8th, at 7-30 p.m. in the Ribblesdale School drama complex. The Countryside

Agency has chosen Clitheroe as one of five towns in Lancashire to redevelop traditional roles as a market town and service centre for the surrounding rural area. Mr Geoff Jackson, of Trinity Partnership,


said: "The ultimate objective is to develop a

sustainable market town and village economy. This will involve Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil, the town council, Longridge, Whalley and all the Valley vil­ lages. I t is also hoped the meeting will ani­ mate more people to get involved, particularly the town's stakehold­ ers." Mr Jackson has


a bottom-up, grass-roots approach to the future. He said: "The


Clitheroe Town Partner­ ship Group has been charged with carrying out a health check of the town. The group is led by a committee of 10 and is researching four key areas. "These are environ­

although the Valley is generally seen as an affluent place, Clitheroe itself is a low-income area compared to the rest of the Valley and the North-West, a prob­ lem the regeneration is


planned to overcome. I t is intended th a t


action will arrest what! is seen as the decline of Clitheroe and urge local residents to help reverse this trend, thereby revi­ talising the town and its surrounding countryside. Everyone is encour­


aged to attend the meet­ ing. The aims of the group and the findings to date can be accessed by visiting the website www.clitheroethefu-

Carlton Place, Clitheroe, pleaded guilty in court at Blackburn to assaulting Fred­ erick Steele in April and Andrew Blackledge in May, causing actual bodily harm to


each. After hearing that Whitham


had four previous convictions for assault in the last nine years, the magistrates ordered a pre-sen­ tence report and warned that a


prison sentence was possible. Mr Steele sustained bruising


and a loosened tooth, while Mr Blackledge had a broken nose and jaw and two black eyes. The defendant was remanded


on bail until November 15. Miss Clare Fanning (prosecut­


ing) said the victim of the first assault had been the owner of the house where Whitham had been staying. He was asked to leave because of non-payment of bills. He came back the following day


to collect some of his property and while in the house became aggressive. "He began punching Mr Steele

Fanning. Whitham told police that he


had been play fighting. The second victim was in a


friend's house in Brook Street when Whitham said he wanted a


word. "He asked Mr Blackledge to go


into the kitchen and when he refused he took hold of him and dragged him there," said Miss Fanning. "He accused Mr Black­ ledge of 'bad mouthing' him and


punched him in the face. "Mr Blackledge then felt


repeatly about the head and body and at the time he had a dog lead


punches raining on his face and head and fell to the floor where he was kicked in the ribs."
