ANGER has again erupted a t the con­ struction of a new joinery works at the junction of Peel Street and Highfield


More anger at joinery works plan Both Clitheroe Town Council and resi


Road, Clitheroe. Residents have not been impressed by


council explanations th a t the, site had industrial use previously. They claim the new building is much higher than the sin­ gle-storey NORWEB one it replaced and offers an "unrelieved" side to Peel Street. Three letters have objected to a plan­


ning application for a 2.4 metre galvanised palisade fence, which has already been built to replace a slightly higher one. Relo­ cation of the entrance to the site means a new fence is heeded.


VOTERS in'the Ribble Valley will have to depend on the trusty pencilled cross when they go to vote next Spring. Ribble Valley Borough Council has


turned down an opportunity from the Government to apply for permission to become an electronic voting pilot project. Members of the Policy and Finance Committee did not feel th a t electronic

dents have criticised Hurstwood Develop­ ments for putting up the fence before the planning application went before council­ lors. One resident claimed that properties had been devalued by £20,000 each due to the development. ■ Tonight’s meeting of the Ribble Valley Borough Council Planning and Develop­ ment Committee is being recommended to approve the fence.. Officials say that the location is industrial in nature and the fence will have no significant detrimental effect if it is painted dark green. However, another fence on the site will also need planning permission.


Council says no to electronic voting


voting would solve the problems of a low turn -ou t and members were con­ cerned over security aspects of electron­


ic voting. A combination of recent ward boundary


changes and the potential number of Bor­ ough and Parish elections in May would make it difficult to stage the experimental


project, it was felt. FARRER-WILSON


A cruise down the River Nile in Egypt followed the wedding of Miss Angela Denise Wilson an d .Mr Andrew Christopher Far­


rer. The couple, who live in


Preston, were married at Stirk House Hotel, Gis- burn, where the reception


was also held. Formerly of Clitheroe,


the bride works as a secre­ tary. She is the daughter of Mrs Elsie Wilson, of Cor- bridge Court, Clitheroe, and the late Mr William


Wilson. Her bridegroom, a con­


sultant avionics engineer who enjoys deep-sea div­ ing, is the son of Mrs Pam Donnelly, of Derbyshire, and the late Mr Derek Far- rer.


Given away by her


brother, Mr Roger Wilson, the bride wore an ivory silk gown with beaded bodice featuring a train and with matching stole. She carried a bouquet of


fresh cream lilies, cream roses, Singapore orchids, eucalyptus, cream freesia and trailing ivy. She was attended by


Miss Rachel Louise Farrer, the couple's daughter, and Miss Amy Elizabeth Wil­ son, the bride's niece. Both wore dresses of ice blue silk with sequined bodices and carried bouquets of pale pink roses, pink freesia, lisianthus and mixed foliage. Best man was Mr Paul Edwin Farrer, the bride­


groom's brother. Photo: Hayley Louise Photography, Nelson.


Western Isles ‘visit’ for the Naturalists


IV


THE first winter lecture of the season for Clitheroe Naturalists was given by Pauline . Mellor and was based on her visits to the Western Isles over the last 11 years. Her slides and synchronised recordings of


bird songs covered an area from the Butt of Lewis in the north to the Island of Mingulay, south of Barra, and provided the backdrop foi* a fascinating account of the bird, plant, ani­ mal and insect life of these unspoilt islands off the west coast of Scotland. Her early visits were made alone, with long


road and ferry journeys followed by solitary camping, with the tent doubling as a hide, in remote places close to the natural beauty and

well as a colourful and humorous collection of puffin studies. Where trees had been intro­ duced, there were birds- more familiar in this area of Lancashire which had braved the jour­ ney from the mainland. These included ravens, starlings, curlews and dippers. Slides also showed wild flowers often grow­


ing in vast swathes of colour, and of particular interest were the different varieties of orchids. There were also pictures of mosses and


lichens. The talk also included an account of a wide


range of wildlife from caterpillars, dragonflies and spiders to the, otters and seals of Mingu­ lay and the deer and cattle bn South Uist. The isles were presented as a paradise for


the naturalist, especially when the sun shone. The lecturer was thanked by the chairman,


Mr George Hawthomthwaite. . The next meeting is on November 7th in the upper room of the library at 7-30 p.m., when Dr Ir.ene Ridge will give a ta lk entitled
