Complain over cash waste, not worthwhile projects

ters or articles, I can only assume he did not do so, and neither has anyone else. Nor has there been a flood of complaints about


that other little council escapade, the £70,000 com­ pensation secret. Odd then that so many people have complained


over the past year or so about the arts centre. Remember that? The one that was going to he put on the site of the old Civic Hall - until someone com­ plained. Then it was planned for the market car park -


until the traders complained. Now it is proposed to put it up on the gas works site, accompanied by com­ plaints about traffic and bridges etc. ; Why has there not been equal furore about the


council expenditure on the car park (did it need resurfacing? why the tar?) and the £70,000 error. We pay the council’s “wages”, make not a whisper


when it spends our money willy:nilly, yet moan like drains when something for the public good, paid for by someone else, might just interfere with our lives a little - ignoring the fact that it might enrich our lives considerably. So, come on all you moaners, let us have some


worthwhile complaining and hit the council with the moans. Then Clitheroe might go somewhere,'run by its people, not just by commercial and political inter­ est groups.


’ And before there is a response about elected repre­


sentation, I shall add that that gives us all the more reason to complain about those we vote into office, from Coun. Holtom to Tony Blair. We payl But we should only have to pay once. So - what about the council car park? What about the

Problems in rights of way Questions over the new


are dealt with promptly - I AM sorry Mr Wardleworth had difficulty following footpaths in the Clitheroe area: When ]we find prob­ lems of any kind on rights of way, we report these to the highway authority, which usually deals with them fairly promptly. -


• Signposting where footpaths leave a metalled road


is a requirement by law. Waymarking on the course of the route is not required by law, and there are not the resources available to cover them all at present. Lan­ cashire County Council has many calls on its high­ ways budget. However, if Mr Wardleworth, or any member of the


public, comes across a missing or broken signpost and sends me written details with a map reference, I will take immediate steps to obtain a repair or replace­ ment. In the meantime, I hope Mr Wardleworth does not


let this experience deter him from walking in the Rib- ble Valley, and we would be pleased to welcome him on any of our group walks.

refuse collection service AS I was concerned about the new refuse collection, I


■ raised several points with Ribble Valley Borough ' Council before it: started and received a helpful letter from the waste management officer. I asked about arrangements for infirm and/or elder­


ly people and was assured that measures to assist them had been put into place. Telephone the council or helpline I guess. Might prosecutions be made of householders if


tions, attracting birds and animals strewing rubbish


across the street. • Biodegradable bags put out several days early if


you are going on holiday. • Changes of collection day at Christmas and New


Year, • Refuse collectors regularly obstructing the pave­


ment with piles of bags waiting for the refuse vehicle - not only is this difficult and dangerous for prams, wheelchairs, school children, etc., but what would happen now? . I was told that action has been taken against house­


holders who put waste out days before due to the increased risk of litter and vermin, but not just overnight. However, birds have attacked bags in the half hour it takes for the refuse vehicle to arrive. The speed the refuse vehicles are driven and


manoeuvred round the streets is a bit concerning, especially if this coincides with increasing numbers of children walking to school and having to go into the roads to avoid the rubbish the refuse collectors still pile on the pavements. I, too, look forward to the introduction of a kerbside


recyclable waste collection, but was puzzled to he told there is no local facility to deal with plastic, cardboard, food tins etc. Does that mean that when I separate these items and deliver them to the tip they are just remixed and landfill dumped? In which case I may as well go hack to putting them in my dustbin and save myself a trip.

Concern at provision


oyer mental health THERE have been, in the last few weeks, let­ ters about the lack of provision for people with mental health problems, and also about Rockmount, which was purchased specifically for these people and now seems to stand like a dinosaur. Is it soon to be extinct or will it be sold on? Either way, once again a kick in the teeth for people who suffer mental health problems. All over the Ribble Valley, houses are being


bought for disabled people of all kinds. I t is fantastic to see the difference this makes to their lives. Where in the caring Ribble Valley is the care for mental health? Through your newspaper I am directly ask­


ing Ribble Valley Borough Council, New Leaf and Making Space what is happening to Rockmount and what provision they aim to make in the Ribble Valley for people who are suffering mental health problems?
