Don’t be misled by free


Bank Holiday parking NOW the flurry of Bank Holidays is upon us, I would just like to urge all car drivers to be aware of the car parking rules th a t apply in Clitheroe and not to be misled into thinking Sunday rules apply. As a fairly frequent visitor to Clitheroe and the


surrounding area, I was delighted to be able to spend a few days in the town over the Easter weekend. While in Clitheroe, there are places I always enjoy


revisiting, one of these being that delightful restau­ rant just around the comer from the Railway View car park. On the Bank Holiday Monday, I decided to treat


my companion and her niece to lunch at this estab­ lishment and parked at the Railway View car park. While I was studying the car park tariff board, a


kind lady drove past and informed me th a t the charges did not apply th a t day. Thanking her, I pocketed my 35p and went for lunch. Returning some 50 minutes later, I was pleased to


inform another family studying the tariff board of the suspension of fees for the Bank Holiday. Imagine my horror on reaching my car a few sec­


onds later and finding a parking ticket and fine for £25 attached to the windscreen. I sent my young niece racing after the departing

charges apply from Monday to Saturday, and the kindly lady was misinformed, but the waiving of charges is quite common in many tourist areas. For a town wishing to boost its growing tourist


trade this is surely one way of inviting more people to visit and enjoy the town's shops and amenities. As it was, after reading'the small print I found I

You will be seductive and persuasive. Just watch that you don't dutch at those dose o r make it obvious you have a hidden agenda up your sleeve.

could purchase a £5 ticket there and then to offset the fine, provided I submit it to the council offices without delay. This I duly did with a covering letter of the cir­


cumstances. As yet I have had no reply. As a gesture of goodwill, I was expecting my fine


to be returned or, failing that, perhaps a £5 voucher to be spent in the town itself. I realise th a t some­ times these things take time, so I am still hopeful. In the meantime, motorists beware!

This was party policy and


certainly not an oversight I REFER to the article by John Turner regarding the "alleged catalogue of errors" by the borough council in the recent local elections and, in particular, the com­ ments made by Mrs Pat Rawson in respect of the town council elections. I reiterate the comments I made to John Turner,


that it is not the policy of the Ribble Valley Conserva­ tive Association to bring "politics" into the town and parish councils, hence the reason the Conservative can­ didates for the borough council election did not have the name of the party on the ballot papers for the town council election. I advise Mrs Rawson to get her facts right in future


Unfortunately, things never stay the same for very long and we reluctantly see him go and wish him well


in his new post. Before he leaves, however, we should make sure he


realises how very highly he is valued in the area. In my own experience, he does not suffer fools gladly, but works very hard for the patients in his care. He will be greatly missed by everyone, not least by my own fam­ ily, who he has looked after at all hours of the day and night, as well as weekends and Bank Holidays. He is known for his total commitment to patients. As residents in this area we have been fortunate to


have had him as our GP for the last 10 years. And it will take some considerable time to build up trust and confidence in another GP. My very best wishes and thanks go to him.


A GRATEFUL PATIENT I will do all I can to aid the


before categorically stating that my comments were "rubbish", and that we had just forgotten to include the name of the party. Perhaps the residents of Gisburn and Rimington


should be eternally grateful that a person who makes totally unfounded comments was not elected to repre­ sent them. By the way, did the Liberal Democrats forget to


include the name of their party against Stephen and Margaret Sutcliffe, Liberal Democrat candidates for the town council of Littlemoor Ward?

be sadly missed by all REFERRING to your article concerning the resigna­ tion of Dr Brown from Slaidbum. As one of Dr Brown’s patients, I was shocked and saddened to learn he was to leave the practice in June.

RSPB reserve proves a hit with walkers


SEA cliffs are not very accessible to Clitheroe


Ramblers, but the nearest, by Silverdale, were visited on Sunday during a walk noteable for


the variety of scenery. The nine walkers started by climbing the


limestone scars to the summit beacon on Warton Crag, noting the profusion of early purple orchids in the nature reserve. Next, a descent through woodland by way

of Occupation Road to Crag Foot brought the group to the salt marsh areas of the RSPB reserves, where avocets are reported to be nesting. Crossing Quaker’s Stang by the causeway,


Jenny Brown’s Point was reached before the tide came in, allowing the foreshore to be used round a disputed footpath section. Lunch was taken above the rocks of Jack


Scout as the tide came in, then the coast was left to walk past patches of giant cowslips to Lindeth Tower, Scout Wood and Silverdale Church. Field walking brought the walkers to Hagg Wood, The Row, and across the golf course to visit the RSPB Leighton Moss cen­ tre.

A TRIO of bikers were guest speakers at last week’s meeting of Bolton-by-Bowland Young Fanners’ Club. The three members of Accrington Motorcy­

it was a Bank Holiday. Next week’s meeting is a rock and roll
