RESIDENTS' responses to plans to build a car park on a site out of Whalley centre are

IA firstrdass concert from - | young player^
FOR the first time this season, Clitheroe Con7 certs Society featured a string quartet. The audience was fortunate to hear the muchf acclaimed ■ Emperor String Quartet consist ing of four young play-
I ers who have created quite an international reputation since they
teamed up in 1992. The first in their pro
gramme of just three works was Haydn's F major opus
74, No. 2. The name of the ensemble, the Emperor, would seem to imply that Haydn is their,speciality. Whether that is true or not, their rendering of the work was a delight. There were particularly pleasing solo passages from second violin in the andante and the viola in the minuetto. Next followed a contem

Car bodyshop application
sparks debate
A CAR bodyshop off New Row, Knowle Green, sparked a coun cil "preserving the
countryside" debate. Officials recommended
the Planning and Develop ment Committee of Ribble Valley Borough Council to refuse a. .retrospective application for'the busi ness. They;suggested'it be closed down within six months, due to being against policy, outside a settlement, innappropriate in a rural area and likely to set a precedent for non agricultural uses nearby. But councillors felt that
the business was only on a small scale and general diversification was some times acceptable in the countryside.--.v. "We have a duty to pre
serve the amenities of the countryside, but .we musn't stultify
..initiative either,"
declared' Coun. Frank Dyson (Clitheroe.) "Vehi cles do exist in the country side, however much we
deplore them." The application was
unanimously approved, but one to put a large extension on the workshop was refused. .
great pillars of the quartet repertoire was played, that of Ravel in F. This was, once again, a joy to listen to from beginning to end, with some beautiful solo playing from ail four instruments, as well as impeccably pol ished ensemble. The audi ence expressed their undoubted appreciation by prolonged applause, which was rewarded with an encore. This was a waltz, an ' early work by the youthful Benjamin Britten. The general opinion
seemed to be that this was one of the best concerts of recent seasons.
R.J.N. Insurance talk
THE monthly meeting of Clitheroe. and- District Masonic Fellowship took place in the Village Hall, West Bradford, and 33 members attended. As the planned guest
speaker, was ill) Mrs D. Steer was recruited at short notice. Her talk, "Insur ance; I don't believe it", was well received by the audi
ence. The next meeting will
take place on Monday, March 12th. The speaker
will be Mr R. Schofield, whose talk is titled "Beyond the Mile City”.
Sports centre hit
VANDALS used fence poles to smash windows and secu rity lights at Whalley Ten nis Club in Mitton Road. Over a number of months
there have been various reports of disturbance and acts of anti-social behaviour at the village sports venue. Police are investigating
and anyone with informa tion about any of the inci dents is asked to contact Clitheroe police on 01200 443344.
