Trees: leave it to tBfe experts is the advice!

tr60s« Mr-D^d Hewitt, Ribble Val­


ley Borough Council’s country­ side officer, said: “The recent high winds and subsequent . damage to trees highlights the importance of employing people who are fully trained and insured to carry out what can be dangerous work at height with cutting equipment and often in : unpredictable conditions.” ■rhe borough’s residents are


being warned against employing cowboy tree surgeons or under­ taking the work themselves. Mr Hewitt added: “Residents


are advised not to employ casual callers offering to prune or fell trees following strong winds or


. trees themselves. “Falling from trees is a com­


mon cause of injury and death while working on trees near


• power lines is not only extremely dangerous, but illegal. “Felling any tree has the


potential to cause serious dam­ age to property, injury and fatal] ity when it goes wrong, so leave ' it to the professionals!”

dignity and pride! I READ with interest and dismay the correspondence from Joe Aldon and lanette Gubbins in last week's Advertiser regarding the fall from grace of Clitheroe Castle and of the


.unsociable acts of a youthful minority which, sadly, only serve to detract from the majority of purposeful and upstanding young people in our town. , Having recently returned from -vis­


iting my sister in Shropshire, I was shocked to see the demise of the once prosperous town of Ludlow where every other shop seemed to be either empty or concerned with charity coL lection. Moreover, it is even more dis­ turbing to read of empty conunercial properties in towns such as Harrogate being converted into lap dancing clubs and no doubt other salacious activities. What, with increased litter and dog


fouling of recreational areas, I fear for the future of our town - what is hap­ pening in Shropshire and North York­ shire now will surely happen in Clitheroe sooner rather than later unless we act. ■ May I therefore call for a united


effort from all citizens to re-establish a sense of dignity and prosperity in our town? . In particular, I. would urge our


elected Member of Parliament, coun­ cil officials and chamber of commerce to come together and draw up a plan to reinstate a sense of civic rejuvena­ tion and pride.. OLIVEGROVES, Scedall Avenue, Clitheroe. .

How do you stop bilberry munchers?


■ THOSE pesky squirrels! - a phrase rarely heard in this day and age, yet I find myseF exclaiming it to the rooftops time and time again!, -. ? Now some of you will know me and - the fact that I'm a rather a-vid bilberry


grower. ' Now I accept that bilberry growing


in Clitheroe is not the most common, nor easiest pastime, yet it's my hobby and I thoroughly enjoy it. : • The sunshine, the taste, the reward­ ing smell of fresh bilberries softening in


■ the afternoon heat. The rewards are endless, but unfortu­


nately recently I have found my pre­ cious bilberries pillaged, ravaged and ruined by these dastardly, fiu-ry, bilber- . L ry eating creatures!. .


: ■ . .


■" So this is my plea, to all the bilberry p- growers of Clitheroe, how do you pro-


i ■ I ha^^ tried netting,-plastic sheeting, = even firing warning shots with a child's^ -'toy gun, nothing works! So please, V please share with me your bilberry pro-;.; ' tection secrets,' impart your knowledge'pt ^ please! •

in disabled bays BEING disabled, I frequently use the spaces provided in front of the store when shopping at Tesco in Clitheroe. Upon seeing an able-bodied man


paring up in the last space and stop­ ping me from parking there, I politely informed him that he was in a space


that was reserved for the disabled. ’ . : His reply was unprintable and he ! simply walked off into the store. I immediately reported this to the secu­ rity guard on duty at thie eiitrance to the store, and was told by him that he had no powers to move the maii away, adding that he. too had experienced similar results as myseh when he had tried to move able-bodied people off . the spaces in the past! So I asked to see the store duty manager and was told by her that Tesco didn't police the spaces, they just pro-vided them! So I asked her if it was true that


anyone could use them and Tesco wouldn't do anything about it, and she answered “Yes”! I should point out here that Tesco has gone to the trou­ ble of making sure nobody parks iii their car park for more than two hours without incurring a financial penalty, - and there is a notice up to enforce this. Furthermore, they have gone to the trouble of employing unifprmed people in the past, to ensure that nobody does park there for longer than the time allowed! After consulting Ribble Valley Bor­


ough Council, Sainsbury's and the Department for Transport in London about the legality of this, I was told ■ that because the car park is on pri-vate ground, anyone can use the spaces •without penalty - unless Tesco state otherwise, and use an outside firm to


. police the spaces - as Smnsbury's and Asda already do! So why have Tesco paid to have the spaces put there in the first place? They obviously don't care about the disabled customers and just want to take their moiiey!' GRAHAM CUTLER, " WooncLane, Clitheroe . • • For more Letters to the Editor, > please turn to page 43
