by the AA estimates that, across the country, two million car drivers will carry cycles on their vehicles this year. Of this total, around


ried out six years ago revealed tha t 61% of motorists who carried bikes on the back of vehi­ cles were found to be obscuring lights or num­ ber plates. This year's figure was 44% Dr Steve Lawson,

Coach plan go-ahead


A COACH parking area at Hodsons' Deerpark Service Station, Clitheroe Road, Gisburn, can be roofed over, coun­ cillors have decided. The original plan


to demolish a small existing storage building and create a bigger one was def­ erred because it was considered too big. However, Ribble


Valley Borough Cou­ ncil Planning and Development Com­ mittee passed a new plan, which does not alter the number of coaches in use. Coun. Frank


Dyson (Clitheroe) said: "It is a thriving business and we should do what we can to assist it."
