LET there be light, said a Ribble Valley; councillor - and


there was. Residents living in the


Lilac Grove area of Clitheroe have seen suc­ cess a fte r lobbying Coun. John McGowan to get a new light locat­ ed on their road. This week, Coun.


McGowan said th a t , a f te r years of cam­ paigning for ex tra lighting via Lancashire County Council, Rib­ ble Valley Borough Council and Clitheroe Town Council, he had good news for those who lived in the area. He also thanked resi­ dents for their patience and for lobbying him


on a weekly basis. However, Coun. Me-1


Gowan added th a t his I efforts to get lighting I installed by a new foot-1 path in Riverside had so I far failed due to a lack of | connection to the elec­ tricity supply. He said I the light would become I p a r t of the council's I Social Role Lighting! Project.
