Main businesses hard


But residents are full of praise for speedy progress with work by Susan Plunkett


THE closure of a main road through a busy village slashed trade by almost 50% for some


business owners. Trade was severely affected a t


The Village Bakery in Read whilst Whalley Road was closed for a week. According to the owner, Mr Mal­ colm Granger, business was down


around 45 per cent. ' He said: "It is very unfortunate that


this happened, but all we can do is grin and bear it. We could try and make a claim against Lancashire County Council to get a rate reduction for that week, but I don't think tha t is an

He said: "There are plans to campaign for traffic-calming measures, possbily speed cameras, to tackle this problem. There is special concern about the number of heavy vehicles speeding on this road." The road, the A671, was originally due to be closed for two weeks, but it

Talk by an expert on bird life


WitUi’Oii''. :-


AN expert on the bird and plant life along the Anglesey to Walney coastline has lectured to Clit- heroe Naturalists. Mr Charles Owen, a


landranger based in Wigan, accompanied his ta lk with many colourful slides. His presentation, held


at the library, was based on his many years of studying the natural his­ tory of this important North-West coastline. From pictures of the


‘MONSTERS INC’ (U) Grand Cinema, Clitheroe. From its release date tomorrow


Menai Bridge and South Stack Lighthouse, he moved from cliffs inhab­ ited by hundreds of seabirds,


now reopened to traffic, but, where necessary, we will be using a manual


‘stop’ and ‘go’ system." The resurfacing and restructuring of


the road and footpath is a £136,000 project.

ST VALENTINE’S DAY - Feb­ ruary 14th — is a now a very popular celebration of love, but the origin of the feast is very obscure and the saint himself a shadowy person from the mists of history. He may have been one of many


legendary figures or a combination of them all. They start with a Roman priest


martyred for his beliefs by the emperor Claudius around 270BC or a bishop of Temi martyred in Rome around the same time for conducting secret Chris­ tian marriages and holding baptisms. He may have been a Roman centu­
