WORK with the travel­ ling fair had to stop after Mr John Cuncarr met the girl of his dreams when the fair pulled in to the village of Sabden. • The a l ta r intervened,


and the travelling ceased when Mr Cuncarr first got a job in Sabden, then mar­ ried his sweetheart a t St Mary's RC Church, Sab­

local campaign to protect by Tim Procter


Valley! One of the fishing


world's leading magazines, T ro u t and Salmon, devotes the editorial in its current issue to a so-far- little-publicised local row about water abstraction


on the River Hodder. A new scheme to improve


the supply to Blackburn proposed by United Utili­ ties would cost £2.6m. But local landowners, fishing clubs, residents and envi­ ronmental campaigners believe that the abstraction point is too far up towards


the river's source. Local MP Mr Nigel Evans is watching the situa­


tion carefully. "This plan would mean


th a t a long length of the river would often be short of water unnecessarily, with consequent effects on


Big money is needed for


house repairs ABOUT £42.5m. will need spending on the area’s coun­ cil houses in the next 30


yearslA professional survey conducted to special govern­ ment guidelines has identi­ fied responsive repairs, pro­ grammed repairs and improvements which the various types of homes will


need. Tonight's meeting of ,. r


Ribble Valley Borough Council’s Housing Commit­ tee will discuss a report on


the money needed. I t suggests th a t, as


£1 3m. a year is already spent, the shortfall may not be too difficult to deal with. I t might be possible to absorb the £3.5m. or so sum by adopting a "just in time principle to major repairs.

Wells has been instructed to make their request to Coun­


wildlife and vegetation in and around it," says one of the campaigners, Mr Philip Lord, of Cow Ark. "Of course everyone is entitled to a proper water supply, but it should be provided with as little environmental damage as possible. "The water which falls on


that part of the Ribble Val­ ley is already being taken in large quantities from vari­ ous points and going to the Fylde, Preston and Black­


burn."


The campaigners want an extra £2.4m. spending on more pipelines and pumping to allow the water to be taken out nearer the Wink- ley area. The plan involves closure of abstraction points on two tributaries in a Site of Special Scientific Interest further up. This would mean an increased flow as far as Winkley compared to present levels, so offering a l


than now. But the finance providers for water supplies, OF WAT, has only given enough for the present sug­ gested scheme. Nothing has been decided yet, but so far United Utilities has shown


no sign of asking for more. The Environment


Agency, which has the final say, is monitoring the situa­ tion closely. The work will take two summers to com­


plete. Trout and Salmon thun­


ders: "A measly £2.4m. stands in the way of an improvement to one of Britain's most beautiful salmon rivers - a widow's mite compared to the cash lavished on the ephemeral

The company says that ,, .


both it and the Environ­ ment Agency wish to ensure th a t the scheme will not impact adversely on river conditions further down­


stream. "Indeed, by controlling


the pattern of abstractions, it should be possible to pro­ vide a modest benefit to the flow regime in the down­ stream rivers," claims Unit­


ed Utilities. What it calls "a struc­


tured appraisal" of the options and the likely envi­ ronmental impacts of each is now progressing. This will provide a sound basis for a decision on the precise form


of the scheme. However, some survey

Lib erty hops on her bike as she boosts favourite charity


NOT one to laze around, Clitheroe schoolgirl Liberty Knight is about to get on her bike to raise money for a cause close to heart. The 10-year-old St James'


CE School pupil is to rough it out in a six-mile cycle race on an all-terrain course at Leisure Lakes, Southport, later this month, when she hopes that jostling through the ranks of a t least 40 other competitors will net her more than £200 in spon­ sorship for the Clithcroe area branch of the Multiple


Sclerosis (MS) Society. . Liberty, of Littlemoor


Road, then plans to hand over the hard-earned cash to her grandfather, Mr Antho­ ny Knight, of Rimington. Diagnosed with MS, Mr Knight is a branch member. Proud parents Chris and
