www.clitheroeadvertiser.co.uk Letters to the Editor - Write to: The Editor, Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, 3 King Street, Clitheroe BB72EW Editorial e-mail: vivien.nicatli@easllancsne" s.co.uk~|— Is Clitheroe a safe


place for a day out? IN the past, we have visited Clitheroe on a regular basis for shopping and for days out. Therefore, we read about the proposed changes to access to the town’s skatepark with some interest. We often park in Woone Lane when


we visit and have had to become used to cyclists riding on the pavements. However, recently we’ve also had to


contend with skateboarders swerving down the middle of the road around us as we drive down the street. If this wasn’t dangerous enough, my wife was recently startled when a skate­ boarder leapt off the wall of the Cas­ tle right in front of her. As you can imagine, we are now


considering whether other market towns, such as Skipton, would be safer for our days out.

Well done all those


who took part! ON Monday evening, Ribblesdale High School presented an evening of music and dance, entitled: “Be Our Guest.” This was a superb show by the tal­


ented and hard-working students of Years 7 to 10. They delighted the packed audience. Following the successful production


of the musical “West Side Story” ear­ lier this year, it seems the performers are going from strength to strength. They are a great credit to Ribbles­


dale School and the town. Congratu­ lations to all the cast and the produc­ tion team.


D. PARKINSON (MRS), Low Moor, Clilheroc


Youth is named


and shamed at last WELL what a breakthrough! At last our biggest bag of trouble has been named and shamed. For months he has been protected


for some strange reason and now the people of Clitheroe can put a face to the person who has wrecked and upset many lives. This boy has given Clitheroe a bad record for crime and disorder single handedly in many cases. He has made many out-of- pocket and ruined their property. We in Clitheroe may be able to rest easy in our beds. Thank you to the police for their hard work and efforts.


NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED Attack has left me


deeply upset HAVING read about the vicious attack on Christopher Brand I was deeply upset. Being a regular cus­ tomer at Booths supermarket you get to know faces of the staff, faces you can say hello to and a quick chit chat. Christopher was one of them, a very nice person.Teenage crime is on the increase and those responsible for this


vicious attack should be named and shamed and properly sentenced, posted from:

Shame brought on


town by ex-Mayor WHAT a disgrace our ex-Mayor has brought to this town. We have voted for him in the past,


trusted him with our problems and worries, trusted him to represent our lovely town as Mayor and all along he was stealing our well-paid taxes. He should be ashamed. We have had some fantastic Mayors, doing good work and helping our people. He has even got us on the national news again, but for the wrong reasons. We do so much good in Clitheroe and it should be commended, but instead our good name has been dragged through the mud. If we still had stocks in the centre of town he would be a permanent fixture with queues for miles.


NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED Thank you for your


kindness and help IF I may I would like to thank the readers of your newspaper for the enormous amount of goodwill and messages of support th a t I have received following the shocking deci­ sion of Ribble Valley Borough Council not to make a contribution towards Ribble Valley Radio's development. It is very reassuring to myself, and


all of our volunteer members to learn that this community radio station is supported so strongly by the Ribble Valley people. It is thanks to this sup­ port, and to those 94% of voters on the Advertiser’s poll who felt that the council were wrong not to support us, that we feel confident in our future. We can march on in the hope that


the new council will realise what a tremendus prospect we are offering the valley. Jim Bowen has very kindly agreed


to help Ribble Valley Radio by pre­ senting "an evening with..." at St Mary’s Centre on Saturday August 4th. Please come along for a super, smashing, great night of fun and help secure Ribble Valley Radio’s future at the same time! Tickets are available from St Marys Centre, 01200 427162 or via e-mail info@ribblevalleyra- dio.org.uk Once again, thanks everybody for


the overwhelming support. We will succeed in bringing a voice to the val­ ley!


STEVE SUTTIE, Station Manager, Salford City Radio Chairman, Ribble Valley Radio


Address the issue


of speeding bikes REGARDING your recent article on the reported danger to users of the A682 Nelson-Gisburn-Long Preston road.


I write as someone living on this


road which I use each and every day and I am therefore fairly conversant with its characteristics and, while it is undoubtedly twisty by nature and therefore requires competent driving, is it really as bad as the picture pre­ sented? While it is correct to highlight the


number of persons killed and injured on this stretch of road, would it not be fairer to adjudicate the position by identifying the number of persons killed or injured by clarifying the pro­ portion of the vehicles carrying such persons between cars, lorries and motorcycles? This stretch of road is often inun­


dated with motorcycles, especially at weekends, travelling to such places as Kirkby Lonsdale at speeds very often exceeding the speed limits and fre­ quently crossing double white lines and I would respectfully suggest that they give this road an unfairly bad name. These motorcyclists do not, in gen­


eral, use the road for anything but pleasure motoring and only draw other innocent road users into being involved in their accidents. There is a way to reduce these acci­


dents. Declare motorcyclists persona non


grata on the AG82, or impose, and enforce with vigour, a 50 m.p.h. speed limit. There are signs on the road warning of speed cameras - but, in 30 years, I have never seen one camera being used on the road!


NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED Let’s have appeal


for flood victims I AM sure most readers of the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times are as shocked and sickened as I am when they watched their fellow citizens on TV facing a miserable future caused by the recent floods in South York­ shire and Hull. We are told many thousands of peo­


ple are homeless and won’t be able to move back into their homes for per­ haps a year or more. Then look at the way they are being treated by this socialist government, who are always telling us they care. Tell that to the flood victims. Then the church got in on the act


when the Rt Rev. Graham Dow, the Bishop of Carlisle, suggested that the floods that have caused chaos and death across the UK were caused by God after he was provoked by the introduction of gay equality. Is that another offering from the book of fairy stories. These people need to get their own act in order before criticis­ ing others. Thankfully I am a non­ believer. Our Prime Minister visits the area


and offers a measly £14m. Yet, we are spending billions of pounds in Iraq to help build what we destroyed. Then Iraq has oil wells, there are none in the North of England. When a disaster happens in a for­


eign country we have a national appeal, we immediately send supplies and money. Why hasn’t there been a national


appeal to help the poor inhabitants of the flooded towns in Northern Eng­


land? No doubt if this flooding had happened in the south east of the country or London, major help would have been immediately available. What other country treats its citizens as badly as we do in the UK? When you sit down this evening to watch TV or have dinner think of our fellow citizens who don’t have a warm dry home, and give thanks it didn’t hap­ pen in our area.


MARTIN JAMES, Grindlcton


Why has bench not


been repaired? I REGULARLY walk along Four Lane Ends past Standen Hall. At the junction where the road


turns upto the bypass after the Standen Hall entrance there used to be a memorial bench which had been damaged presumably by a car as the wall behind had been damaged. The wall has been repaired but the


bench must have been removed and I am wondering why it has not been repaired or replaced as this was a very popular spot for myself and fellow walkers to sit and admire the view as it stated on the memorial plaque. I am sure I am not the only person to miss it.

I, too, was let down


by local taxi firm I WRITE in reply to “Party let down by this taxi firm” in last week’s Clitheroe Advertiser. I, too, was a member of a party who


were unfortunate enough to suffer the same treatment by a Clitheroe firm to the same destination in similar cir­ cumstances. I have my own views on their motives. The contempt with which I feel for this firm cannot be printed and, thankfully, due to the helpfulness of roadside staff in Black­ pool, 13 women (without sufficient funds for an overnight stay) were returned safely to their Ribble Valley homes albeit three hours late and rather damp and cold. Along with the rest of the party I


would like to take this opportunity reiterate the warnings from the previ­ ous letter to the people of Clitheroe and surrounding villages and ask them to consider word of mouth rec­ ommendations before booking private hire firms, especially when they are so far out of area.

on the young man returning home from work. This man, who happened to have learning difficulties, was going about his normal business, and indeed, by all accounts, was a credit to himself, when he appeared to be beat­ en senseless by some teenage thugs. Another story on your front page

to the young people and you will find so many of them who respect nothing, know there is no punishment for any­ thing they may do wrong and frankly laugh at the idea of being given a warning. Our society needs to return to the


reasoned application of corporal pun­ ishment. This would show them the limits which society puts on behaviour and also would keep in line the bor­ derline cases who are not really bad, but whose behaviour in this crazy modern Britain leaves much to be desired. Will all the silent, decent people

Pat on the back for


these lovely folk I WOULD like through your letters page to thank all the staff at the Emporium in Clitheroe. We have been going there for lunch


once a week since they opened and recently they have undergone some refurbishments. All the way through this the staff have stayed happy and not stressed, even when half the bar was shut. The food remains excellent. I t ’s not often you find a business that is good and stays open, so well done and keep up the good work!

Wl Chipping WI presi­


dent Mrs Margaret Gardener welcomed members and guests, to the meeting in the village hall before introducing Linda Barton who gave an interesting presenta­ tion on St. Joseph's Orphanage in Pre­ ston. Mrs Barton told members that the orphanage had been funded by a donation of £10,000 from Mary Holland, widow of a wealthy local builder. The orphanage was open from 1872 to 1954 and over that time provided a home for 917 children who were often not orphans in the mod­ ern sense of the word, but had to enter the orphanage because their family


Some of the children were happy in the orphanage, others were miserable.


After questions, Mrs Joan


Porter expressed thanks.


Raffle winner was Mrs Jennifer Kelly and the competition winner Mrs Carole Mercer. Mrs Betty Costell was presented with the birthday plant, and everyone sang happy birthday, to celebrate her 80th birthday.


Members wore reminded to bring gifts of toiletries for the Chernobyl chil­ dren to the next meeting.


The walking group will meet at 1 p.m on July 25th in the old village hall car park.
