Action to remove mobile homes


ENFORCEMENT action will be taken to remove two mobile homes f rom. th e S t irk House


Hotel, Gisbum. Members of Ribble


Valley Borough Coun­ cil's Plarming and Devel­ opment Committee agreed with officer rec­ ommendations to refuse the retrospective appli­ cation. The 30ft. long homes were being used to


house staff temporarily. Two letters of objec­


tion about the plan raised concern th a t it was improper for staff to reside in caravans and that they were unsightly. An officers’ report to


committee said the mobile ' homes ' were "inappropriately sited" and constituted "promi­ nent and incongruous features" ■ within an attractive area of coun­ tryside. ■


Appeal for witnesses


POLICE this week appealed for witnesses to an accident which occurred last month. • A cyclist recei'ved minor injuries when he was in


collision with a car in Waterloo Road, near the Royal Oak public house, a t around midday on March 8th.
