Anti-racism group set up to oppose BNP’s bid to win council seats


by John Turner


OPPOSITION is being mounted to the British National Party, which has said it intends to field candidates in the elections for Ribble Valley Borough


Council this May. But the opposition has stated i t has no


intention of fielding candidates to stand against the BNP, which recently won coun­ cil seats in Burnley and Blackburn. Ribble Valley Against Racism has been


of the extremist BNP", said the spokesman, a man from Whalley who asked for his identity to be withheld. They have already begun a leaflet campaign in Clitheroe and Whalley. The spokesman said: "Since the BNP


announced that they are to contest elections in the Ribble Valley, local residents decided that the claim of the BNP to be a respectable political party needed to be exposed. "Our purpose is to encourage people in the


formed to raise awareness "of the real nature Advertising Feature


Ribble Valley to learn about the threat posed by the BNP and to use their vote to ensure that the BNP are not elected. Whatever prob­ lems people are concerned about, the BNP are never going to be part of the answer.


"We are not a political party. Indeed we


work with any party which opposes fascism and the politics of hate. We will not put up candidates for election. "We are local people who live or work in the


Ribble Valley. We came together to oppose racism, fascism and the BNP. We are broad based and open to all who oppose racism, fas­ cism and the BNP. We are independent, but work with any organisation which is opposed to racism, fascism and the BNP. “We are not part of any other organisation.


Our aim is to raise awareness of the true n atu re of the BNP behind th e mask of respectability they are trying to present."

plans withdrawn AMENDED plans for a housing develop­ ment a t Littlemoor Road and Croft Street, Clitheroe, have been withdrawn by Barratt Manchester Ltd. The plans, for 39 homes plus sports


facilities and road alterations, were a mod­ ification of those originally refused by the borough council’s planning committee. The new plans had fulfilled conditions


applied by councillors when the amended proposals were eventually accepted. However, there remained considerable


opposition to the plans from Clitheroe Town Council and local residents. At the time of going to press, it was not


possible to obtain a comment from Bar­ ra t t Manchester about any future plan­ ning applications.
