Car park funding ‘bombshell’ could be reversed if scheme is agreed


s ■’ ’< . ' ■ by Natalie Cox’


RESIDENTS’ responses to plans to build a car park on a site out of Whalley centre are still awaited. Villagers were asked to put


forward their opinions on a scheme involving the QEII playing field in Station Road. Plans were put on display in the


a l i a W C l C p u t U U U lO ^ lO J i l l H


library and people were invited to go along, take a look and then fill in a questionnaire to make their views known. Business owners and their employees were also sur­ veyed in a bid to determine their opinions on the proposals.' At last week's meeting of Whal-


ley Parish Council members were told that the data was still being


collated. Councillors also heard that in


" * ‘ w'-'---- ---------------


ley Borough Council had advised the village's Car Park Steering Group that the money set aside in its five-year capital programme to fund the building of a car park in Whalley had been taken out, a move which Coun. Stephen Barker said had been "a bit of a bomb­


_


shell". However, following correspon-


written correspondence Ribble Val­ _____________


dance between the parish and bor­ ough council, it had become appar­ ent that the council's decision was not "set in tablets of stone" and if

agreement could be reached about an acceptable parking scheme there was no reason why the money could not be reinstated. Ribble Va lley s Director of


Finance Mr Marshal Scott con­ firmed that the had been taken out of the capital programme. Howev­ er, he added that if a scheme was found that was acceptable to all parties, including residents, as well as the parish and borough councils, Ribble Valley members had agreed to do their best to support it. ■ ___________

| A first r class | concert fr om .


young player^ FOR the first time this season, Clitheroe Con7 certs Society featured i string quartet. The audience was fortunate to hear the muchf acclaimed Emperor String Quartet consist-


I 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 seeiri 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

porary work by James MacMillan, recently appointed composer in resi­ dence with the BBC Phil­ harmonic, in Manchester. This was a striking and exciting piece, although it had very little in common with conventional works for string quartet. There were some very beautiful pas­ sages played with great feel­ ing as well as the consum­ mate technique which the work demanded. Most peo­ ple I asked seemed to enjoy it.

!ar 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 for1 the busi­ ness. They suggested'it he


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.-. :, "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 all 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 jvas 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

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
