eastlancsnews.co.uk ------ This is not the right
place for a mosque THE question of a mosque in Clitheroe raises its head yet again! On Sunday afternoon the residents of
Highfield Road, off Lowergate, were visit ed by two Christians and a member of the Islamic Education Centre to “test the water” regarding their application for an Islamic centre at the former Methodist Chapel, later Granby Garments etc. As one of these house owners I am gut
ted. Is this what a quiet market town needs right in the centre? This property is huge and I was
informed that it will be a three-storey cen tre.
Do we have so many Muslims in Clitheroe or are we inviting more to come and join us from far and wide? This area contains elderly people and a
large school with many young children. Access is already a big problem, so
increased traffic five times a day can only lead to someone getting hurt. Prayer starts at dawn and is five times a
day.
bed any day after dawn? Another devaluation of our property!
Great, so we don’t get the right to lie in
I t ’s time this council woke up and realised we don’t want a mosque in town. Find a place out of town where no one is offended or disturbed by it.
RESIDENT OF HIGHFIELD ROAD Bunting is coming
down this weekend I WAS disappointed that your correspon dent Mr Dowles had not apparently con tacted an officer of the Charnber of Trade before writing to your letters page, as he would have ascertained that, weather per mitting, the bunting is being taken down this Sunday morning, bright and early The volunteer contractor we use (and there aren’t many people with long enough
ladders) hadn’t been able to assist with the dismantling last month due to a back injury. He had wanted to do it the last two Sundays, but I was away for the first and had commitments elsewhere for the sec ond. The bunting should have come down well before now - certainly the plan had been for it to be dismantled by the end of the summer holidays - but I am afraid that circumstances prevented this. As for whether we should have bunting
at all, well that’s a matter for the Cham ber of Trade to consider, as we do each year. We would be very happy to take on board the view of all our members in this respect, as it is they that pay for it.

Trimmings reminds
me of the summer FURTHER to the le tte r regarding bunting, is Mr Dowles a killjoy? Does he not know that the bunting signifies sum mer and that presumably it will be removed very soon. I have only lived in Clitheroe for eight
years, but personally I always feel uplifted when the bunting is displayed as it signi fies the start of the summer season. I feel it gives Clitheroe a holiday feeling
and I’m sure that the many tourists that visit us get the same impression.

Castle project seems
to mean limited view READING the report in the Advertiser and Times last week, it seems that the Castle project will certainly mean very restrictive access to this popular viewpoint which has been available for 86 years.

The Muni, Albert Road, Colne theaioisweiibeing ^ ^ I Committed to yo vour | | We shall have to accept this but, in so
doing, the sentence: “There will be man aged access outside museum hours and the museum will be open 50 weeks a year,” is very vague. I am not surewe can accept the proba
ble explanation that it is too early to be precise. As a halfway stage will the coun cil agree the following proposal re “man aged access”? April to September, 9 a.m. until 8 p.m.; October to end of March, 9 a.m. until museum closing time. The report states that the museum will
be open 50 weeks a year. This sounds good. However, that could mean during the winter months two days a week. Per haps I am being a little unfair and the council really intends to open the muse um five or six days a week throughout the year. I am sure readers would be pleased to have clarification on this point as well, simply because it has a direct bearing on the access to the Crow’s Nest view, not only for Ribble Valley residents, but for visitors from outside the area.

Lack of support has
done our utmost to continue providing a flexible door-to-door service to all resi dents of the Ribble Valley for the past nine years. We highlighted in this paper earlier in the year the current situation regarding funding and the possibilities of maybe reduced services if further funding or support was riot found. We have stood in all the local super
imuni
markets trying to raise awareness and try ing to raise funds. We had a flag day where I and other dedicated members of staff gave up their time on a Saturday to stand around town all day. We have applied to various bodies for funding and, as yet, only Lancashire County Council has come forward to support us. We are very grateful to Castle Cement also for their donation. Unfortunatly, due to lack of support,
we have had to reduce the services that we provide, this meaning tha t demand response is now only operated on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. May I take this opportunity of thank
ing all of our loyal passengers and staff for their continued support in this difficult time.

Our Post Offices must be saved
AGAIN I am putting pen to paper, firstly about the closure of our Post Offices. This must not happen. I have signed petitions and
even written to the Post Office at Government level. The reply that I received about the Post Office Card Account was that it was only a temporary measure for people to get used to a card account so they could eventual ly change over to either a bank or a building society (by 2010). Had I known about this I cer tainly would not have given up my pension book and I suspect a lot of other people would not have either, so I believe we must do everything in our power to stop the rot and hold on to our choices of where we collect our hard-earned pension from. In your paper a couple of
weeks ago there was a letter about supporting the British Legion with donations. I total ly agree and I would like to tell you my story. I started doing family histo
ry after retiring from work through ill-health and discov ered that my paternal grandfa
ther (Private James Craddock) died in action in the First World War. He volunteered in 1915, aged 25, in the Stafford- shires, and fought at the Somme and Flanders to name just two theatres of war. He was wounded, sent home and recovered, sent back to the Front and died just a few months before the war ended, aged 28. In 2004 we made a coach
tour to the battlefields and war graves in France and Belgium and I had the privilege of visit ing the Menin Gate in Ypres, and saying a prayer for the fall en. Thanks to our excellent tour guide, I found my grandfather’s grave and I realised we can never give enough for the brave men and women who died or were wounded in the two world wars and many more conflicts. We must never forget and
always remember what was given and wear our poppies with pride at this time of year.

Owner of dead and dying colts says court was ‘a bit hard’
.NE horse dead and another jring in a pool of mud is what a eld officer for an equine welfare larity found at a farm in Slaid-
jrn. A call to the International League r the Protection of Horses’ (ILPH) 'elfare Line led field officer Chris
. tilliamson to Harrop Lodge. On arrival at the premises operated
y 56-year-old Graham Gott, Mr dlliamson found a very distressed id exhausted chestnut native pony lat was approximately 12 months d. Together with RSPCA Inspector [andy Barr, he assessed the situation id immediately called a vet. The icision was made to euthanise the lestnut colt as he was unable to get 5 and the vet felt that the colt was lyond recovery. Mr Williamson also discovered lother dead youngster, again lying in ud, about 10 metres away. When Gott appeared at Hjmdburn iagistrates’ Court he pleaded guilty i causing cruelty and unnecessary iffering. The magistrates banned him from
ieping horses for 10 years, with the in due to come into force on Novem- ;r 10th.

Commenting on the sentence, Mr
Williamson said: “When I arrived at the Gott's premises I found a young chestnut pony that had obviously been lying down for some time and was close to death. “I t was covered in mud and there
was also a mud track of some 20 metres in length where he’d tried for some considerable time to get up. “I am pleased with the 10-year ban
as this will hopefully ensure that no other horse suffers at this man’s hands in the future.” RSPCA Inspector Mandy Barr
added: “I am delighted with the out come of this case.” Following the prosecution, the
ILPH is endeavouring to assist Gott in finding homes for the approximate 40 horses that are currently still in his possession, before the ban comes into force on November 10th. When the Clitheroe Advertiser and
Times contacted Mr Gott, he said the colt which was destroyed had simply been an “awkward” animal which would not eat. “I took it to the ring feeder myself
several times and coaxed it to eat, but it just wouldn’t,” said Mr Gott. “I t’s

the horses. He added that if there was systematic cruelty or neglect, it would be evident in the 40-or-so other horses at Harrop Lodge, but there was no problem with them. “Any vet at any time would have
been welcome to come and look at them,” he said. Mr Goti said his father had kept
the horses before him and he took over about 12 months ago, keeping them as a hobby rather than a business. The problem he faced now was in
getting horse passports for his remain ing animals - something he must do by law before moving them on. “The ban takes effect on November
10th, but I’ve been told it will be at least three weeks before I can get the passports and I can’t move them without - it’s an offence.” Commenting that he thought the
