They are said to have settled more


than six million Chinese in Tibet and ordered th a t Chinese shall be the first language. The Tibetan culture was outlawed. I t is said th a t all Tibet's trees have been felled for profit, denuding the landscape and causing an environmental disaster of major proportions. There are stories that the Chinese


I


have destroyed more th an 6,000 Buddhust monasteries and temples throughout Tibet. But there are faint signs that Chi­


nese attitudes are beginning to soft­ en as China has more and more dia­ logue with the West. I t is to be hoped that this is the case. Hopefully, Mr Choepel will be suc­


cessful in his next fundraising effort a t the Catholic Social Centre on March 9th and the profits will be ' able to achieve some good in Tibet. Perhaps i t could lead to other


British comm unities' following Clitheroe's example.

A V ISIO N which will shape the future of Clitheroe Castle


has been unveiled. Over the next six


weeks, residents across the Ribble Valley are being asked to study the plans and have their say on the suggestions being put forward. The wraps were taken

house (Waddington) said he had received more than 100 positive comments about the removal of th e trees. And a report to commit­ tee said: "Despite a sig­ nificant amount of oppo­ sition to the proposed work, there is now a strong view th a t what has been done has been worthwhile


enhances what is a scheduled monument of national importance." The next phase of

Landscaping work to create a rolling grass effect will see the removal of the old bowl­ ing green and a 1920s ornamental garden, which are not felt to be in keeping with the over­ all concept. However, council officials are keen to emphasise th a t the well-used bowling green .'by the cafe'is an impor-

Some tree pruning and removal is suggested for the leaf yard; however the final design of this area is yet to he decided, although proposals do include the creation of a butterfly garden or wildlife-friend- • ly area.
