Her bridegroom, of Nottingham, who works for the ; 7


same firm, is the son of Mrs Patricia Burr, of Galashiels, and the late Mr Robert Burr. Given away by her father, the bride wore a princess­


line gown in duchesse satin with a hand-beaded silk organza overlay, beaded bolero and full satin-bound veil. The dress had been made by the bride's mother, and the bride hand-beaded her shoes to match it. Her bouquet comprised roses, hyacinths, anemonies and

PARISH councillors at Whalley are try­ ing to find ways of minimising the long­ term cost of the vil­ lage bus station. One re su l t of th e i r


m

cil owns the semi-circle and the garden areas in which it is situated. But concern has been mount­ ing ab o u t the money likely to be needed for maintenance and so councillors are trying to get the county council to adopt it. . However, they are making it clear that car parking there cannot be p a r t of any arrange­ ment. No councillor, actively opposes the gen­ eral view round the table that the site must not be used for parking. An adoption move five


years ago faltered when th e county said th a t £16,000 needed spend-


ing on upgrading before i t would consider the


issue. As expected, inquiries


have suggested th a t a much larger, though cur­ rently unquantified, sum I


will be needed now. At last week's meet­


ing, councillors wel­ comed th e generally helpful tone of a’letter from'the county council. I t pointed o u t' th a t I sources of funding were now available as part of the Government’s policy of encouraging the use of public transport. But the letter outlined


some of the features of | the bus s ta tio n which would need a t ten tio n once a review of its lay­ ou t had been made. These included the sur­ face material, the width of the carriageway, the j height and width of the kerbs and the signing. The s tatio n lights are already maintained by | the county.

M a r tin Highton dec­ lared: "We can a t last move forward on this and not look back.”
