A PROPOSAL to site a sewage disposal * works at Gnndleton was discussed at a-, meeting of Rowland District Council. An engineer from Bradford submitted a- plan to site the proposed works on land owned by the .Whittaker family. Howev-'. er,‘as Mr,Whittaker.had not yet been: ■approached regarding the plans, coun­ cillors were not confident of the plan’s success. .
