Mayor hits out at vandals causing trouble in town
by Tracy Johnson
VANDALISM in Clitheroe has prompted the Ribble Valley Mayor to speak out. Coun. Mary Robinson, whose
term as Mayor finishes on May 9th, is calling for new measures to be put into place to tackle the problem caused by youths in the town. The Mayor, who lives close to
Henthom Park, believes the bridge between Victoria Road and the’ park is being used as an “escape
route” for vandals. “They always chase along a route where they can not be pursued,” she said. “So by heading for the bridge
they know that the police vehicle can’t chase them and once they are over it they then have easy access to head back into town.” Coun. Robinson said that closure
of the bridge was not necessarily the solution.
She would prefer to see a security
camera installed, which she hoped might deter vandals from heading in that direction.
Speaking about the Mayor’s com
ments, a Clitheroe police officer agreed that the area was a trouble spot.
However, the Mayor is quick to
point out that the vandalism being caused, mainly to cars, is only being carried out by a minority. “They are not Henthom youths,
they are from all over the town and not one area in particular. “I feel they are a minority in this
town and that the majority are upstanding members of the com munity,” she said.
