High Street, Skipton. The flagship retail shop, housed in a historic Grade 2 listed building at the top of the High Street, is being transformed through a major extension project, which will be officially unveiled over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, October 2 and 3. Customers old and new, including a regular following from across the Border in North-East Lancashire, are in for a real treat, with tours of the newly-extended shop, product demonstrations, special offers and giveaways all lined up to make it an occasion to remember. The shop will be open as normal on Saturday, October 2, between 9am and 5.30pm. On the Sunday - opening times 11am to 4pm - it will be "Chocoholics Day," including some mouthwatering offerings from David Goldie employee and master chocolate cake baker Michael Byrne, plus a selection of freshly-brewed coffees from around the world, along with cheese and wine tastings. The Grand Launch Weekend will culminate on the Sunday afternoon, when a free-to-enter draw will be made to determine the winners of 40 glorious prizes - all town and country clothing products donated by David Goldie's renowned suppliers. The total prize fund is already worth £3,000 - and growing. The sparkling prize list includes Barbour Men's & Ladies jackets, Sasta Men's Huhta jacket, Tenson Ladies Down Jacket, Chevalier Midland Classic Coat, Musto Ladies Fleece, Driza-bone full length coat & hat, Gloverall Child's Duffle Coat, Padders Men's & Ladies Shoes, Le Chameau Men's St Ladies Wellingtons, Hunter and Aigle Wellingtons.

It also features details of the opening celebrations, plus news about the history of the famous business, its people and products. Why not pick up a copy and enter now. The new extension scheme at David Goldie's is all set to create a town and countrywear oasis right in the centre of Skipton.

It will allow the business to more effectively display and increase already comprehensive stock levels. David Goldie established his Skipton shop in 1976, moving to his present premises in 1981.

Write to: The Editor, Clithcroc Advertiser and Times, 3 King Street, Clitheroe BB72EW Editorial e-mail: vivien.meath@castIancsncws.co.uk — Many questions


left unanswered FAIZA APZAAL'S report on Clitheroe’s new health centre leaves several unanswered questions regarding the convenience of the proposed location, adjacent to the community hospital in Chatburn Koad.


We moved from BBS to the centre


of Clitheroe in 2002. One attraction was the proximity


of the medical centre. About five minutes’ walk away and a very short drive for the housebound household member. The proposal will mean a serious revision of our regular pro­ cesses for obtaining medication. That is just our own situation.. Regarding more general access,


the footpath on the hospital side of Chatbum Road within the 40 m.p.h. zone is totally inadequate for walk­ ing in single file, let alone for prams and wheelchairs. Also there is no footpath along the


Pimlico Link Road between Pimlico Road and Chatburn Road. Active people attending the facili­


ty, including people with prams, will need to get there on foot. Does the funding available to the PCT cover the work necessary to address these particular two approaches to the site from established residential areas? Obviously the majority will arrive


by vehicle. What are the intentions for parking arrangements? They will certainly need to be much more expansive than those at the current


site. A further means of access will be


by bus. What arrangements are pro­ posed in this respect? And at this stage there is no indi­


cation as to what "adjacent" actual­ ly means. Could be north, south or east of the community hospital. I know that it is a “closing the sta­


ble door after the horse has bolted” situation, but a least one central site did become available in the past two years — the ex-bus depot off Pimlico Road. What was wrong with that?


BOB SHAW, Clitheroe


Why not keep new


facility central? I NEVER thought the new Health Centre would be relocated on the


Planet Zog. But to suggest "to allay the fears


of residents who were under the impression they would have to trav­ el miles out of town to a new centre" is far fetched in the extreme. My fears are that it will be on the


edge of town and removed from a town centre spot, which it rightly


commands. ' What is it with this obsession to


put everything at Clitheroe Hospi­ tal?


Cannot the simple issue of seeing . , .


a doctor remain in the town centre like everywhere else and the periph­ eral activities move elsewhere if any­


thing has to move at all. Why not build upwards or have


two sites with the other the shortest of walks under the railway bridge to be part of the former council yard? Have they had an offer they can­ not refuse for the existing site?


-


that they are well covered by insur­ ances, or failing that, should consider very carefully whether they are pre­ pared to face the financial implica­ tions of exercising their rights under the Act.

Neighbours from


hell ruined lives THIS summer has not been kind to many of us for one reason or another, particularly the weather. However, my neighbours and I


have had a truly miserable summer and the reason is “neighbours from


hell”. A young couple moved into our


area bringing their entourage with them and for the past few months we have suffered loud music - excessively loud - foul language, shocking behaviour and complete disregard for everyone around them. I appreciate that to some this may


sound almost trivial, but believe me, when you have to live with it day in day out, week after week, it is sheer


hell. We have sought assistance from all


the usual places, the letting agent, the landlord, the local council and the police, and while we have had sup­ port from all these people, at the end of the day there has been very little that could be done to resolve the situ­


ation. Finally, the couple in question left


due to the fact that they had failed to pay their rent and for no other rea­


son. Mine and my neighbours’ real


gripe is that there are laws in place to protect the landlord’s interest and the tenants’ rights, yet very little to pro­ tect the neighbours of such dreadful


people. If I could name and shame the


couple in question I would, as I am sure everyone who has been involved in attempting to move them on or adjust their behaviour would. Alas, once again, there are laws to protect


such people! Be warned, they could possibly be


living near you and if so you have my deepest sympathy. n a m e a n d a d d r e s s s u p p l i e d .


Spare a thought for


the poor residents ONCE again we have our senior councillors (who do not live in the area concerned) trying to increase


more traffic problems on the local residents of the Castle View/Kirk- moor-Road areas. Over the last few years we have had


to fight issues like excessive housing and the new cinema complex, all of which were turned down. So what is the difference with this


new proposal? If only one of these councillors


came down from their ivory towers, they would see the problems already caused by the large amount of traffic for the many small children who play in the area. Also there are senior citizens’ resi­


dencies on either side of the proposed site, which would be affected by the noise disturbance, as well as the extra traffic. At the end of the day, why does


this mosque need to be built in a busy area of the town (Holden Street and Kirkmoor Road), when somewhere like Up-Brooks would please every­ body - no traffic or noise problems?


CONCERNED LOCAL RESIDENT Think carefully


before you roam NOW that the legislation of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 has come into force, it may be timely and appropriate to point out to all those intending to exercise their rights under the Act to access common land and open countryside that all may not be the “bed of roses” they imagined. The Act makes clear that hazards


arising out of the natural features of the land included in the access rights place no obligations on the owners or occupiers of said land. In other words, individuals who


enter on to the land designated under the Act do so at their own risk and in doing so cannot claim com­ pensation for injuries or death incurred in exercising their rights. Futhermore, by placing themselves at risk they could also be liable for the full cost of any emergency ser­ vices which need to be tiumed out to rescue them or render other assis­ tance including the medical services and with, for instance, the cost of a helicopter being in excess of £1,000 per hour this could be very consider­


able. People entering on to land where


hazards exist, eg swamps, bogs, sink holes, pot holes, gorges, gullies, cliffs, fast streams and rivers should ensure


news for anglers EXCELLENT news from the Coun­ tryside Alliance for angling clubs and fisheries: DEFRA Minister Ben Bradshaw has announced that the laws relating to the management of the fast-growing population of cor­ morants is to be streamlined and sim­ plified. For some time now, the Alliance


has campaigned to simplify the laws, having heard from many fisheries and angling clubs that the damage cor­ morants are doing is extensive, but that obtaining a licence to kill them is difficult and complicated. I wrote to Mr Bradshaw earlier in


the summer suggesting measures he could take to alleviate the problem and he has taken note: licences will now be issued for up to two years, site visits will not be mandatory except for new licence applications and, best of aU, licences can be issued ahead of predation rather than after. The angling community is united


in its support for these changes to the law and it is gratifying for angling, fishers and for the health and conser­ vation of our waterways and fish stocks that DEFRA has both listened and acted.


CHARLES JARDINE, Director, Countryside Alliance Campaign for Angling, Kennington Road, London


Thanks to all who


helped celebration THE finale to our 450th anniversay celebrations took the form of a most enjoyable speech night at King George’s Hall, Blackburn, last Friday


evening. On behalf of Clitheroe Royal


Grammar School it is now appropri­ ate for me to express our sincere thanks to everyone who helped to make the celebrations so successful. Thank you to all the staff. Gover­


nors, pupils - past and present, and more importantly to all our visitors and the local businesses who support­ ed us. The cricket match arranged by the


Old Boys was a great success, and the School’s archivist, Keith Harwood, was delighted to welcome more than 200 visitors to York Street on August 10th to view the archive display. We were pleased to see so many


people turn out for HRH The Duke of York’s visit and also the large attendance in church and in the parish hall for Commemoration Day (not to mention Church Brow and York Street as we processed back to school!). The Governors are very grateful for the goodwill extended to CRGS.
