fully, the salmon will need the correct type of fine gravel in the river. Much of this sort of gravel has been washed away over the years due to engineer ing work that has taken place in the river. Thanks to help from United Utilities, the Hodder Consultative has been able to build two prototype grav el traps in the river. This marks the end of a highly suc

POPULAR local venue Key Street Bar wants to extend its dance floor and install a beer garden con servatory.
But the planning applica '
tion submitted to Ribble Valley Borough Council did not contain enough infor-. mation for the proposals to be assessed. So members of the Plan-"

stone, with a lean-to-style slate roof., The overall floor area increase would be about 60
sq.m. A report from the officials
said that the visual impact of the extension would be important, as it was in a conservation area, but it was felt that the design was acceptable. However, there were reser
vations about the use of uPVC on. the conservatory, although the glazing bars were very thin and would not be readily noticeable. The report said that the
