Emphatic no for cinema plan as residents win the day


by Natalie Cox


WOEFULLY inadequate park­ ing, late-night noise and an increase in litter are all reasons why people living around Shaw­ bridge Mill did not want a 200- seat cinema created in their neighbourhood. Representing the 34 signatories


of a petition against the proposal, Mr Peter Duckworth, of Peel Street, told members of Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council’s Planning and Development Committee it was rare for people to be able to park outside their own homes, and opening a cinema would make the situation even more unbearable. And members of the committee


went against their officers' recom­ mendations and turned down the proposal on the grounds of road issues and residential amenity. Mr Duckworth described the cur­


rent parking situation in Peel Street and Shawbridge Street as “woefully


inadequate”, adding that even if peo­ ple travelled to the proposed 200- seater single screen cinema in Shaw­ bridge Street four to a car, it would generate an extra 50 vehicles which would have nowhere to park. Outlining other issues of concern,


Mr Duckworth added: “For those with young families, 200 people banging car doors late at night is unacceptable and certain residents feel the lighting of the signage pro­ posed for the front would be intrusive into their properties.” He also suggested the sale of pop­


corn and sweets would lead to litter in the streets.


Coun. Stephen Sutcliffe


(Clitheroe) said it was clear the impact on car parking would be “very considerable” in the narrow


streets in the area. And Coun. John Hill (Simonstone) added that he had thought it “astounding” and “a joke” that councillors were being asked to approve plans for a cinema on this site without a feasibility study being carried out.


The applicants were seeking per­


mission to use part of the existing mill as a cinema, with access off Shawbridge Street. A new entrance would have been created, as well as signs highlighting the location of “The Screen at the Mill”. An officers' report to members, rec­


ommending approval of the plans, said the main issues for consideration related to road safety, residential amenity and the provision of com­ munity facilities. Although admitting that at peak


times there could be “some impact” on residents in Peel Street from peo­ ple wishing to park in the road, the officer noted that, given the opening hours, at times when there would be no charge for parking spaces, meant there was no reason why a specified number of places needed to be allo­ cated on nearby car parks. The report also noted the “possible


disturbance” which could be caused by the comings and goings of cinema users, but, due to its location near the town centre where there are other businesses, this would not be consid­ ered “too significant”.


Teacups for once replace trombones


Young and old alike enjoy a journey back in time


HUNDREDS of adults and well over 1,000 children from a wide area have enjoyed this week’s medieval re-enactments at Clitheroe Castle Museum. On Sunday there was an excel­


lent attendance at the public ses­ sions. A visiting team of specialists put on displays from armour mak­ ing to cookery. During the week school parties, some local and some from miles


away, have benefited from the experts’ skills - and their ability to shape them to the National Cur­ riculum. The re-enactments have been


staged for some years now and are getting more popular. The school slots are filled up months ahead. Pictured left are experts Adrian Warrell and Dave Cadle demon­ strating work on armour. (B220603/7b)


Health store customers are being urged to SOS!


CUSTOMERS of a Clitheroe health food shop are being urged to join a trading cam­ paign. Mr Robert Hughes and his


wife, Hilary, who run Wellspring, on Swan Courtyard, are trying to stop the Government imple­ menting EU rules which, they say, will force thousands of


dietary supplements off the mar­ ket. The campaign is called Save Our Supplements and involves


sending a postcard to local MPs in constituencies across the coun­ try. It is hoped the SOS cards will


make the Government think again regarding the legislation, which is due to become law in Britain by the end of July. According to Mr Hughes, over


300 safe and beneficial nutrients affecting thousands of products used for decades, will disappear, not, he says, to protect cus­ tomers, but to create a level play­ ing field for trade across EU member states and to restrict imports into the UK. Mr Hughes said: “Everyone


knows we have a healthcare sys­ tem in crisis, yet the Govern­ ment is supporting measures to remove the very products con­ sumers use every day to keep themselves well and to keep themselves out of doctors’ surg­ eries.”


For more information contact Mr and Mrs Hughes at Well-


spring, Swan Courtyard, Clitheroe, telephone number 01200 429777, or Sue Croft, Director, Consumers for Health Choice, 01275 374446.


Clitheroe church’s organist will bid farewell at society’s next concert


SOLOIST for the Clitheroe Organ Society’s next concert is the Parish Church’s very own Michael Pain, for what will be a farewell performance. He is moving on after 14 years,


since taking over as organist and choirmaster from Charles Myers, who founded the popular Organ Society concerts. These have involved visits by


soloists of high calibre, including those from Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral. During his time in Clitheroe Mr Pain has been regarded as ensuring


TEACUPS not trombones were to the fore when members of Clitheroe


Town Band held a coffee morning. Venue was the Clitheroe Town


Council Mayor’s Parlour and a raffle and tombola swelled proceeds to more than £100.
