^ . friendly welcoming environment. ^ However, three,weeks later, I ' ® recieved a parking fine from “The Parking Eye”: for a fee of £40, because I had parked on the car park for two-and-a-half hours; half-an- hour over the maximum stay limit. I was disgusted with this as we


O


, have in the past used this car park for several hours during out of hours operations which has gone unno­ ticed, and there had been no effort to make us aware of this new regula­ tion. In addition, there were o n ly , three other cars on the car park at


: that time, and the supermarket was ■ not even open a t the time of the offence. .


- This has therefore led me to think


th a t this is ju s t another scheme which plays no other role than to make easy money from a communi­ ty, and one which will drive custoni . away from the town. .


;; ' I know for a fact that this kind of


:behaviour will encourage both ; myself and my friends to socialise in alternative local areas such as Skip- ton and Whalley. ■ So be warned that many car parks


are "not safe to park on for longer than the stated limit, even at night!


NAME AND ADDRESS WITHHELD


What about all the pfifiite cars?


■:TWAS a bit confused by the article by Duncan Smith in las t week’s Clitheroe Advertiser. : ■ This was about the proposed 165 new homes in the Primrose Mill


area. In the article he stated that the


change of use of the commercial premises to residential would signifi-


L cantly reduce the amount of com- -jmercial traffic using Primrose Road 4 and Woone Lane. A - Now I agree with this, but w h a t. about the people who will live in the 165 homes who have cars - 1 would­ n’t like to be them trying to get along Woone Lane or getting out on to Whalley Road at busy times! I wonder if one of the stipulations ■


"Want to make more use of the Garden"


will he when you want to buy one of these new homes that you don’t have a car?

■ This “solution” does not stem


from Ribble-Valley Borough Council nor from our Parliament in West­ minster. It comes from Brussels in the form of the EU Landfill Direc­ tive which imposes penalties on land­ fill to be paid to the EU treasury. This is why local authorities across our country are running round like headless chickens try in g to find other ways of getting rid of the rub­ bish they have to collect. Of course i t doesn’t suit our politi­


cal leaders to tell the truth about the problem. Instead their spin-doctors


. dress i t up as “recycling” so th a t we’re supposed to believe that “recy­ cled” rubbish is made into other use^ ful goods and feel deliciously green when we kparate our refuse. In fact only a small proportion of the stuff we “recycle” is made into


■anything useful. I t would be far.too costly to reduce most of our “recy­ cled” rubbish into useful raw materi­ als for new manufacture. Instead they just get rid of it, where I don’t know except that some gets buried as landfill and I gather th a t the Chi­ nese are filling their ships on their return journeys with “recycled” rub-


: • .o , Most people would agree that we


cannot carry on wasting this earth’s dwindling resources on making rub-, bish and then filling every, available hole in the ground with it. The prob-


; lem is th a t the supposed solution that has been forced upon us is stu- ' . p i d . ' . '


'


. bish. Goodness knows what they do with i t . They probably use it for landfill. Even so, it makes sense to segregate our rubbish as we dispose of it because this is impossible at a : later stage.

Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, July 3rd, 2008 25 Write to: The Editori Clilheroe Advertiser and Times; 3 King Street, Clilheroe BB72EW or e-mail: yivienaneath@eastlancsncws.co.uk ; etters


ply with the EU Landfill Directive or i t will cost us all dearly in increased taxes. The three-bin system th ey ’ve


adopted is probably no worse than what other local authorities have. However that they ought to be less rigid and bureaucratic in the appli­ cation of their policy. Surely com- moiisense ought to have told the council tha t they should have the means of collecting rubbish from dif- ficult-to-get-to places. Country people are rightly out­


raged at having to cart their rubbish to dis tant collection points. For many of them refuse collection is absolutely the only service they receive directly in return for their council tax; take that away and to them the local authority is a com­ pletely useless imposition. Ribble Valley needs to buy a few


small refuse trucks to reach remote and awkward places immediately even if it means that people who live in outlying places are absolved from “recycling”. They pay plenty of tax and get little else for it. Looking to the longer term, we


need to be rid of the EU Landfill Directive and instead tackle the problem on a national basis in West­ minster. The solution to the problem of. refuse will have many angles. For example as prices are rising we are all going to buy less and waste less. That on its own is going to make a significant contribution to the refuse problem. Individually we are going to think more in terms of how to get rid of the rubbish before we buy excessively packaged goods and the retailers will respond to this in order to maintain their trade. Perhaps we may have to be less prissy about health and hygiene, getting used to buying goods in brown paper bags ' instead of sealed packages. I t ’s time . we started thinking again about re­ using containers. Remember when we used to pay deposits on bottles so that we’d return them for re-use? ■


I think that refuse disposal as only


one facet of a huge range of major . changes that are going to happen to the way we live. The increasing cost of food, fuel and raw materials rather than Government policy will dictate these changes and none of us knows exactly what is going to hap­ pen. But one thing is for sure: we need our policies to be decided by our elected and accountable West­ minster Parliament rather than by faceless EU, Bureaucrats.

Thank you for


your generosity I WOULD like through the columns of your paper, to thank the people of Clitheroe and district for their gen­ erous contributions to the collection for the Brittle Bone Society held at Booths Supermarket, Station Road, Clitheroe, on Friday and Saturday June 20th and 21st. We raised a total of £700.34 over


the two days, and would also like to thank Booths Supermarket for giv­ ing us the opportunity to hold the collections. ■ The B r it tle Bone Society was


founded in Dundee by Margaret Grant MBE in 1968 and helps to provide support to people affected by hrittle bones (osteogenesis imper­ fecta) and their familiek I t helps purchase and maintain the specialist equipment that they require and to support the specialist occupational therapy service for them. I t also pro­ vides an advice and information helpline and funds for research into th is rare bone condition which occurs a t b ir th and results from abnormalities in the protein struc­ ture of the bones causing them to break more easily than normal. The Longridge branch was formed


in 1972, and raises around £2,000 annually towards the funding of these services. ■ A talk entitled “Brittle Bones -


the differences and similarities between Osteogenisis Imperfecta and Osteoporosis” is given by the Longridge branch chairman, Gertie Farmery, and her husband John. Any community groups wishing to hear th is ta lk can co n ta c t Mr Farmery, the branch secretary, on 01772 784919 or e-mail: farmery@supanet.com for further information.
