criticise innovation THERE has been criticism in your paper of the design of the footbridge which Lancashire County Council is applying to build at the confluence of the Ribble and Calder rivers, at the site of the former Hacking Ferry which ceased
to operate in 1955. Indeed Mr Cormack, of Stonyhurst, suggests
in your current edition that the bridge will be an eyesore, and he asks how many people will bene fit from its construction. ' The appearance of any new structure which

invited to the event, staged at Stirk House Hotel, Gis- burn, were representatives from clubs in Liverpool,

conforms to the architectural standard of its era will always be subject to criticism by tradition alists. The Sydney Opera House is an example which immediately springs to mind. I would respectfully suggest that the design proposed for this new bridge by LCC is both
imaginative and functional. Mr Cormack asks how many people will ben
efit. I t is difficult to give a precise answer, but the reasons why LCC is requesting approval to build this bridge is because of the risk to walkers who are following the national long distance trail the "Ribble Way", who currently have no choice but to walk along one and a half miles of very busy lane, which has no pavement. So far there have been no fatalities to walkers along this road, although there have been several near misses. Let us hope that the bridge will be built before'it is necessary to change the statistics to
include a fatality.
bridge over the Calder between Billington and the new Calderstones development is sensible, and should receive wide local support. I t would require alterations to the road network in that area, and the cost would be considerably greater than the proposals for the Ribble and Calder crossing, with which it should not be confused.

Geniuses responsible
' As an individual who has a great interest in the landscape, I believe that the design and development of this bridge is simply brilliant. I believe the landscape would benefit greatly from a bridge such as this, as it has been designed to limit the excavation and development required to the land, due to the structure only having three "feet", as opposed to four if two bridges

Polluter must pay for road clay and muck
IN his letter last week, Mr Cormack draws attention to the expected increase in road traffic from the new housing
development at Calderstones. A serious drawback to this development is
already only too evident on Mitton Road, Whalley.
mud, and occasionally bricks, from the proces sion of lorries which is carrying these away from the building site. Their loads are piled up and rarely covered, and the wheels are also caked in muck. The fallen material is plastered all over the road and then sprayed on to the pavements
I refer to the endless depositing of clay and , , ■ , ,
by passing traffic. Sometimes a road sweeping vehicle sweeps the
road as far down as Calderstones Hospital, but this is of limited effect. One such sweeper today was still in sight going back up the hill when two successiveTorries shed clay where the road had
just been swept. Even worse is that the pave ment is never swept. I t is a disgrace. Various neighbours and myself have written,
telephoned or e-mailed our elected representa tives and council officials, but to no effect. So far as I know, nobody has even been to look. We are not asking for public money to be spent. The principle should be that the polluter pays. The action is straightforward. The loads must be covered, all of them, not some. The lorry wheels must be hosed thoroughly. The pavement as well as the road must be thoroughly swept as often as necessary and, as a bare minimum, at least
once a day. What further action can we take? If your, , , „ T.

‘very small sub-set’ I WOULD like to refer to the article in your paper last week headed "Once again ;
we are in tip-top condition. Whilst I am in no position to contradict Dr

are operating satisfactorily. "However, a number of residents have . , . , _ ■ F
expressed the view that the cement kilns fre quently malfunction and by the time theoper- ating procedure has been shut down sufficient quantities of excess emissions have been released into the plume to cause very serious localised pollution, albeit for a very short period. - "There is some evidence that even short term
deteriorations in air quality may have an adverse effect on a small sub-set of individuals with co-existent chronic disease, particularly cardiovascular and respiratory disease . . . My worry is that a very small sub-set of individuals suffering from chronic respiratory disease or heart disase might be at greater nsk of tran- sient localised pollution episodes than the gen- eral population. Because of the relatively sparse population and the very localised nature of these attributed pollution episodes, we would he unlikely to detect any significant adverse health effects from population level data, but this does not preclude a risk which may be important to a very small sub-set of the population." I will leave readers to draw their own conclu
sions from the above, except to say that I think it is unworthy of some people living locally to give the appearance of being very dismissive of the genuine health concerns of others. After all, none of us knows when or why he might him self have the misfortune to become a member of”a very small sub-set.",
