mers are refunded, while footballers are not but that is a hornet's nest to be stirred un another day. David Morris was invited tc kick-off the event because he was most help, ful in ironing out some of the unforseen diffi culties that presented themselves during the same event last year. This was our way ol thanking him for that intervention. We bene fited from tremendous support from the council's engineer's department this year. Two litter pickers on both days were brilliant the car park warden was helpful and two men were called out on Saturday night to re-mark the pitches. Clitheroe Wolves has received grants from

HAVING read your letters page (July 1st edition) I feel I must reply to the two let ters referring to this “tacky sign" and this “huge edifice’ in West Bradford. I must admit tha t I personally agree

with both statements, but feel I must defend the parish councillors as Mr Sean Conlon quite rightly states. In October 1997 a public meeting was
called to discuss what we as a village should do to commemorate the millenni um. Eight people out of a population of more than six hundred attended th a t meeting. As to the statement: “We are stuck with

is a modified version of the original plan? I can assure villagers that all the parish
councillors strongly opposed this develop ment and a letter was sent to Ribble Val ley Borough Council’s planning depart
Disgusted mum slams
state of Castle park TWO weeks ago, on a sunny Wednesday morning, I decided to take my 22-month-old daughter to the park in the Castle grounds. We walked through the town centre gates,
! i
there I took my daughter out of her pram to have a run round because I knew she would be safe. We walked along the path, past the
bandstand, where I noticed camera crews filming. As we walked round the bend, my daugh
ter bent down to pick something up of the path. I was absolutely disgusted to find that it was a condom. Not only was there one, but further down the path, I found a total of four/five scattered about. We made our way to the park. My daugh

ter can run freely in the park, but as I fol lowed her around, to my amazement I saw more condoms and their wrappers scattered about. I was and still am disgusted at what I saw that day. Are the grounds and the park checked
daily for any dangerous foreign bodies? I would have thought they should be because there are many visitors and children tha t attend and enjoy the Castle grounds. I t didn't stop there. On our arrival at the
park, I noticed six or seven teenagers in school uniforms sitting on the swings mess ing about. They were there for about half-an- hour. I could not believe the language they were coming out with, also smoking and throwing litter down. I had my mobile phone in my hand ready to call the police, but the teenagers left. I even had to tell them to shut the gate, but what surprised me was that it was 11 a.m. Why were they not a t school? Could the CCTV camera not see them and recognise tha t they should be in school a t
ment objecting to a property of this dimension being built on such a small plot of land. I do, however, feel that while it is good
to air your views in public, it is only cour tesy to first speak to the people involved (the parish councillors) giving them a chance to give their reasons as to why these and other developments are allowed to be constructed within the village, before going to the press or your local member of Parliament. If members of the public have any
comments regarding the village, write to myself and I will endeavour to place them on the next council meeting agenda. Better still, come along to the next
meeting in the village hall on Thursday, August 19th, at 7-30 p.m. (check with parish notice board) and put your views to your local and borough councillors.

that time? I am not a very happy mother. I will not be visiting the Castle grounds again, I have found a lovely little park at the back of Mayfield Avenue which is a lot cleaner
and safer, with a better choice of rides for babies.

Parking is not ideal,
but there’s no option AS secretary of Clitheroe Wolves and an organiser of the Festival of Football, I write
to comment on the opinions expressed in your columns last week. Following traffic problems at the event last
year and unacceptable disruption to the neighbouring residents, I contacted PC Tony Walsh, the Community-Beat Manager for assistance, which I received in abundance and was most grateful for. Having put out the cones to ease the flow of traffic, the police were duty bound to enforce the restrictions. Clitheroe Wolves' parents were asked to park a t Edisford School to ease congestion, because the Roefield car park is simply not big enough for our purposes. I t does not go down well with visitors that
they have to pay for parking, but because we can't segregate them from other users of the tennis facilities, swimming pool and leisure centre, there is no obvious alternative unless we were able to use the land on the opposite side of the road next to the church. I can't confirm your figure for the charges, but I can't argue against your assumption that the council certainly profited from the event. The pay and display car park has always
been a bone of contention for footballers on the leisure centre car park, because swim-
both the Ribble Valley Borough Council and Clitheroe Town Council in the past, but with 28 teams last season and one or two more this season, the hope of a pitch of our own won't do it. We need a few, and a clubhouse would be fabulous!

Keep stringent control
on planning issues DUMP this tacky sign from our village! If ever there was vindication for the use ol
the full planning system, this and similar edi fices which spring up without adequate con sultation with those affected, is it! I live near one of these monsters and the first I knew about it was when the hole was dug. A stone like that would be subject to strin
gent regulation if proposed for a grave so why not for the roadside?
TOM McLEAN, Ings End,
Rimington Make these proposals
known to the public THIS Government has decided to scrap detailed "trials" where a cement company has had to make public test results when burning hazardous waste, or tyres, or animal waste It also aims to allow the few wastes which are presently banned. These include radioactive waste, explosives, controlled drugs and pesti cides. Apparently the Government has run a
"consultation" on these proposed changes which is now closed. I understand that our MP Nigel Evans has
written in opposition to the proposals. Perhaps he would be good enough tc
enlighten his constituents what the changes will mean, and advise us what action he is taking to gather local support behind him in opposing these changes? Also, could Ribble Valley's environmental health officers tell the public what concerns they have?
