Family tickets


I FAMILY tickets for admission to Clitheroe Castle Museum have been won by a Radio Lancashire listener in Lancaster. Mrs Jean Miles cor­


rectly identified the whereabouts of "Mad Scooter Man, David", whose slot appears on the Jim Bowen morning programme, as being at Clitheroe Castle.


who dare to differ I READ with interest the letter from


' Mr Geddes, of Barrow Lands Co. Ltd, in last week's edition and would like to make the following comments. Although the Enterprise Park is


now starting to develop, I still think the 3,000 jobs as quoted by the devel­ oper has been well over-estimated and will be interested to see how quickly the park fully develops and the num­ ber of jobs it creates during the next


few years. The very fact that all vehicular traf­


fic has to enter the Enterprise Park via the by-pass and not via Barrow vil­ lage, adding further traffic congestion to an already very busy road, is of great benefit to Barrow residents and no amount of developer's planning can change thatl We are told there will be affordable


housing for local people, improved transport facilities, safer roads etc., we have also heard all of this before. In reality, housing gets more expensive and, although Barrow is already on the major bus routes, the roads will become more dangerous due to an increase in the necessary car owner­ ship, vital in a rural area which public transport can never hope to cover. The developer's proposal of working


together with stakeholders, employers, authorities etc., including Barrow resi­ dents, sounds very good, but has all been said before. If the developer wanted to build partnerships, why did he inform Barrow residents of the pro­ posed development via a newspaper


article? The fact is that this developer wants


to build 560 new houses on green belt land, changing Barrow out of all pro­ portion. I believe he is only interested in promoting his own development and to date, has no interest in resi­ dents' opinions in case they dare to dif-

How do you clean


human lungs? WITH regard to the article in last week's Clitheroe Advertiser and Times over the remarks made by Castle Cement works suggesting that vinegar is used to clean off deposits from the Cement Works fall-out. I would be interested in the compa­ ny's comments as to how one cleans


out human lungs? The deposits on our cars and homes


must also have an effect on our health in this area. Isn't it about time the cement works controlled its pollution? I would dread to think of what the


consequences would be if I was to throw cement dust in the faces of peo­ ple, because it is my belief that that is the same as the company is doing with its apparently blase attitude to the problem with industrial pollution.


PAUL HAMMOND, Moorland Avenue, Clitheroe.


Drop in for an


informal chat MAJOR changes in waste manage­ ment, the problem of secondary school places, a safety scheme for Peel Street/Waterloo Road and problems with street lighting in West View are just some of the current issues facing


local residents. On November 3rd, I will be holding


a County Council Surgery at Clitheroe Library from 10-15 a.m. Either drop in on the day for an


informal chat or telephone me to give me the approximate time you would like to attend and an indication of the


subject matter. I can also be contacted by e-mail: stephen.sutcliffe@cc.lancscc.gov.uk

Everything clear in ‘no greenery’ town


WHY doesn't the council get rid of all


the greenery in Clitheroe? This would satisfy the out-of-town-


ers who control the council and they would have a clear, uninterrupted view


of, well, everything. Money would be saved on garden­


ers. In addition, those pesky creatures called tourists, such as the Queen and other celebrities who visit the "Centre of the Kingdom", would stay away. Less parking needed! Build houses on the spare areas.


More revenuel The lack of greenery would make it easier to prosecute idle dog-owners, as their "presents" would be more clearly visible. More revenue from prosecutions! The idiotic southern council fright­


ened of conkers — they made it a health and safety issue - could have chopped all trees down and would have stopped all potential hazards. Ribble Valley could do it! We could be


the trendsetter. Money could be made selling the


wood, once dry, to the trendies with wood-burning stoves, e.g. in West


Bradford. Less birds of course, but less drop­


pings. Less cleaning. More money


saved1 Dogs would suffer, with no place to


cock a leg, but posts could be provid­ ed, e.g. in the grassless and treeless Henthom dog-walking area. To stop the danger of Clitheroe


becoming a tourist attraction again, artificial trees could be planted at strategic points, including on every councillor's chair. Holly would be an


obvious choice'. Alternatively, leave it for two years:

Selective pruning


only is needed FROM my observations taken on Sat­


urday, September 1st, in the Castle grounds I consider that it is not neces­ sary to fell 41 trees.


. Why was this figure produced in the


initial discussions? Surely it was neces­ sary to investigate the real problem of trees that were dangerous and then to see what pruning was to be undertak­ en on the west side of the Castle to


provide a better view. Very selective pruning is all that is


required. I am sure that the elected Clitheroe councillors take this view,


and the officers dealing with this mat­ ter should take heed of their views and that of the many ratepayers of the borough who have voiced their opin­ ions on the subject. Councillors representing other


parishes outside Clitheroe should take note, also the views of the many corre­ spondents printed in your newspaper.


LEO WELLS, Chester Avenue, Clitheroe.


Monument hidden


by unkempt trees OVER the last few months, I have become amazed that people in Clitheroe cannot see that the Keep, a scheduled historic monument, is being hidden from view by unkempt trees. We have only to walk around the


perimeter of the Castle grounds to observe that the only thing you can


see clearly is the flag pole. The trees obscure the Keep, not


allowing it to be seen, as depicted in many gift items on sale in local shops. Discussions I have had with Mr


Graham Jagger, of Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council, have revealed that the treework on the Castle grounds will allow the Keep to be clearly seen. The trees left will be used to frame and highlight the Keep, to bring out


its natural beauty. Trees are living things, so they will


never last long. They can cause ground movements, like those which are mak-


ing the footpaths around the Keep


unsafe to walk on. So let's get on with the tree felling -


we may like it when it is done.


B.G. PENNY, Chatburn Road, Clitheroe.


Children, not


hooligans WHILE the article in last week's paper


regarding the stones thrown from the Castle Keep was accurate in its descrip­ tion of what happened to myself and my family, I would like to make it clear that I at no time used the word "hooli­ gan" to describe those responsible. As a member of this community,


what was most distressing about this incident was the fact that the ones throwing the stones are our children. They are not "hooligans." The potential for tragedy for myself and my family existed not only for us, but for the ones throwing the stones. That is why I felt duty bound to respond to the incident in the way I did. We owe it to our kids to respond when they are creating a sit­ uation that is unacceptable, or danger­ ous to themselves or to others. We may not succeed in changing behaviour, but we fail them when we don't try, or when we just turn away and ignore what is


going on. GARY WILSON, Clitheroe.


Well done on


your coverage REFERENCE the letter, "Sidelined Disease" on the Letters page (October 4th), I feel the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times has done an excellent job in keeping its readers informed of the foot and mouth problems throughout the


crisis* Yes, I agree some walkers, cyclists


and dog walkers feel they had a right to go anywhere. Sadly, that's a fact of life. It's hard to stop these idiots. We anglers have lost a full season of


salmon, brown and sea trout fishing. We purchased our Environment Agency rod licence, club membership and syndicate fees, but we haven't com­ plained that we could not fish. We accepted the fact we could not go


into the countryside, and will continue to do so until it's safe for all concerned. No way should the countryside be opened up until we know its clear of


foot and mouth. Anglers and most other countryside


lovers have shown great responsibility over the past few months. Sadly,^ as stated, we have a few idiots who think they can do what they like.

Tapping into enthusiasm for memorial fund


TAPPING feet have raised over £1,000 for charity and the arts. A tap dancing mara­


thon was held at the Roefield Leisure Centre in aid of the Kenneth MacMillan Memorial Fund, which is raising money for.the East Lan­ cashire Hospice and the Grand Arts Centre Pro­ ject, Clitheroe. It was a case of


recruiting "can't dance won't dance" helpers, as


| most of the participants | had to learn from


scratch. Joining the beginners

were dancers from the Mary Waddington School of Dance, the Angela Westwell School of Dance and members of the Sutcliffe Theatre School. The tap dance was a simple, repetitive routine


taught on the day and danced in relays for the marathon. Teachers Mrs Gladys Sutcliffe and Mrs Anne Grogan also hosted special classes for reluc-


i. tant dancers prior to the


event. Mrs Sutcliffe said:


"We were approached by several adults who want­ ed to join in, but really couldn't dance and wanted prior training. We had our work cut out


with one or two of


them." Over 100 people took


part, both children and adults. Mrs Sutcliffe said: "It was a good mix of people and very suc­ cessful. Roefield donated the use of the premises,

MOTORCYCLE racer Alistair Haw­ orth (pictured) has finished runner-up in two North-West tit­ les in only his second


. competitive year. Mr Haworth (32),


who lives in Sabden, rode his Yamaha XZR 400 to second place in the Preston and District Motorcycle Club's 400 championship and the open 500 championship, run over six rounds at the one kilometre circuit - said to be the twistiest circuit in Britain - at Wigan. The storage and


process engineer, who works at Leyland, began riding motorcycles at the age of seven. "Motorcycles have


been a massive part of my life," said Mr Haworth, who was in the Army until two years ago and was unable to take up the sport to any great extent.
