his comments about the exist­ ing village hall being inade­ quate for present day needs; and I am sure that everyone in . the village who is concerned would agree with him. The new design, in so far as


layout of the new building is concerned, has been the sub­ ject of many meetings. Alter­ ations and amendments have been proposed and accepted by the architects, and the final proposals for the interior lay­ out, and final plan, are satis­ factory to the great majority of the villagers. Unfortunately, drawings


1 Sadly, this design is causing controversy at this late stage, when actual planning permis­ sion has been applied for, which could have been avoid­ ed had the drawings been available earlier and concerns about the exterior design addressed and amended if thought necessary. It is becoming clear that


detailing the elevations and final exterior appearance of the new’building have, for' some mysterious reason, only just become available to the members of the general'pub- lic.


‘


as Mr Parry • suggests; : it: should be easy to compromise - and come up with a much more acceptable' exterior ., design for people who will actually have to live with it. .


ISOBEL BRISTOW,- Hark to Bounty Inn, ■ ’ \ Slaidburn.


Hideous and


inappropriate THE chairman of Slaidburn Community Development Group seeks to defend what I ■ believe to he the indefensible in his letter in last week's Advertiser and Times. The proposed village hall is hideous and inappropriate and should not be built. The work of such-bodies as


the Landmark Trust restoring buildings often on the point of collapse and converting their- use demonstrates that there are people who would rise to the challenge of retaining the facade of the '.former Methodist Chapel and adjoin-


. ing Chapel House and con­ verting the interior to a village hall.,


To ask an architect not to , r'


many residents have reserva­ tions about the proposed exte­ rior. It is felt that certain aspects of the new design are not in keeping with the village environment and a much more sympathetic design should have been provided., The interior layout is good,


but surely what will fit into a red box could just as easily fit into a green box. If the architects are as good


copy any budding in an excep­ tionally unspoilt Pennine vil­ lage containing some good architecture is perhaps an ideal recipe. for 'producing something outstandingly ugly, and he has, in my opinion, succeeded. It may account for the "lead-coloured stainless steel standing seam roof" in an area of slate-roofed houses. We are told the architect


has a first-class honours degree in architecture from Cambridge University. Such a man should be building cities in the developing world where his design could be reused happily if not needed to enliv­ en up some desolate'site in Liverpool or North Wales. If architects of controversial


buildings hadito hve.inthe communities for .which they, r designed them; they might:, have, a. more sensitive approach. Acquisition of the freehold ;


of the adjoining village green "to ensure harmony, between the new village hall, the green and the Hodder" does nothing to allay fears. The green will.* presumably be covered with: lead-coloured concrete to answer "the fundamental problems of access and park­ ing" and harmonise with the hall and the Hodder, fenced off for health and safety rea­ sons. Lack of funds is said to be


one of the greatest agents for conservation of both historic buildings and landscapes. The sudden availability of money looks as though it will prove this to be horribly true and, in an age when communities are increasingly sharing village halls, Slaidburn will acquire a .new one and, unlike the Dukes of Westminster at Eaton Hall, will not have the funds to rebuild 'it every hundred years, even if they are lucky enough to own it and afford its maintenance.

Blemishes on


Valley horizon IT is a great pity that, in today's technological age, the Kibble Valley has three regret­ table "blemishes on its hori­ zon", namely the large telecommunications spires of metal and discs on Wiswell Moor, Waddington Fell and Whalley Nab. I hope that if these eyesores


are to remain, large trees will obscure them, rather than them remaining as prominent reminders of the age we live


, I understand that these


communication towers assist our emergency services to quicker response times, which is to he applauded, hut at what cost to our beautiful, landscape. . Anyone with any more


thoughts on mankind's progress? M.G.DIACK, Alexandra Road, Lancaster.


• The local council has very


little control over these towers - the Government says that, within limits, they must be per­ mitted - Editor.


Commune-ism


is perverted YOUR correspondent, Mr Hardwick, please, should not wantonly confuse and abuse Communism - the caring and sharing is embraced and pro­ claimed by all the great nations of our humanity. Lamentably the sins of


greed and power in human nature pervert the grace of commune-ism into totalitari­ anism. And that is something quite different. „


ROBIN PARKER, St Chad's Avenue,' Chatburn.


Press reports


deter violence I WORK with women who have suffered domestic vio­ lence and would like to point out to readers that it is taking place in homes all over this area. It leaves women and chil­


dren stressed and frightened for years afterwards. Some women put up with it for ■years. I have found if a couple


divorce and the man gets mar­ ried again; he often goes on to beat his next wife. ■ I believe that stiffer sen-r


fences-are needed in these cases and I know that reports in local newspapers will deter some men. . Sadly, many cases do not get reported in the press.


LUCY HOLDEN, Whalley New Road, Blackburn.


Lesson in bad


behaviour The NSPCC's latest cam­ paign has shown that the physical punishment of chil­ dren is not "common sense" In fact, not only is hitting children ineffective arid a les­ son iri bad behaviour, most parents, like the NSPCC agree that it is simply wrong. The Government can no


longer ignore this challenge, hiding behind the very weak "nanny state" argument. This is an issue for society as a whole, not just the family, and the Government must take a lead to change parental atti­ tudes. We must support parents


and protect children. This means much more public edu­ cation, greater support for families under pressure and law reform to make it clear that hitting children is unac­ ceptable in modem society. In all of this, the Government must take a lead to change ; parental attitudes.
