of Ribble Valley Borough Couneil’s health and housing committee, said: “Affordable housing is one of the biggest issues facing Ribble Valley, with many young and single people being forced to leave- the villages in which they grew up. ' “The Sabden development

from local officials and councillors, over the past few years, supports this argument. Even though it seems logical to slow down when there is an added obstruction, we have observed motorists (of both sexes) driving like mad people through the lights. To where? Do they not have children of their own? Do they pretend they are Christians, or have a belief in looking after their fellow residents of our fair borough? Clearly not, when behind the wheel of a vehicle. 'We have had during the past few


weeks the usual tractors, including one which has no number plate on the back of the cab. The tractors are drag­ ging muck spreaders around and the trailers containing silage.

? ■ I have not even mentioned the driv­


ers, again of both sexes, but predomi­ nantly.women, who drive over the bridge, with a telephone to their ear, in both directions. Any old person from the housing association complex close to the Horse Shoe takes their life in their hand every time they cross this road. It has been like this for the last decade and nothing has been done by our local councils. There are various types of crossings in other ar­ eas of town but not in this area. Why? Perhaps your readers could provide


their own answers, there are, after all lots of crossings in the area of town around Tesco. Why?'- ••

I can’t believe that this development has been allowed to take place by Rib­ ble 'Valley Borough Council. For indi­ viduals who may not know this road, it is a country lane with a speed limit of 60mph. The entrance to this develop­ ment is on a bend and on the rise of a hill, so visibility is extremely limited. I '

at the top! I READ an article in your paper that a new chairman has been appointed at • Calderstones NHS Trust on a salary of £42,000 for a part-time post. This man already has very lucrative full­ time work so surely someone unem­ ployed or retired would have been a more deserving applicant in this time of prudence and cutbacks in the NHS: It certainly makes me wonder what the top men at this Trust are paid. We’re all in this together Ribble

Right to hadger


would be no-one, it seems, to badger the local council into action. I should imagine that the area he lives in, which I knew well not too many years ago, has happy wildlife in the hedge­ rows, content wild animals and fit birds living healthily, rather than feral vermin feeding off the litter he rightly


. complains about. It’s as well that Mr Loebell does,


for as long as we have this continen­ tal weather it’s more akin to living in Germany, or perhaps further afield in Australia. I dread to think what the mixture


of left over food cartons and the hot weather would do the health of Clit- heronians if, rather than when, it isn’t collected! I should hope that RVBC would


consider it appropriate, to use two monitors to decide as and when an overtime litter collection was war­ ranted, rather than instantly assume that the expense of permanent over­ time was unjustifiable to local council taxpayers.

a greyhound? THE Lancashire region of Greyhound Rescue West of England will be very busy during the coming weekend. On Saturday, July 10th, they will


Gould you home


be attending the Goosnargh and Longridge Show between 9 aTm. and 5-30 p.m. There will be all manner of livestock and small animals together with crafts, floral art, photography, children’s rides and around 100 var­ ied stands, amongst which will be the GRWE stand with merchandise, dis­ plays and information. On Saturday and Sunday GRWE


is also holding Collection and Aware­ ness Days at Tesco Extra, on Cente­ nary Way, Burnley, between 10 a.m. and4-30p.m. :■


; • ■ • - These events are opportunities


for people interested in rehoming a greyhound to find out more about the breed and to meet with some of the gorgeous hounds who currently re­ quire homes, along with some equally fabulous hounds who are now in their forever homes. Attending this event will be several stunning greyhounds that are now in desperate need of lov­ ing new owners and forever homes. GRWE is now the UK’s largest in­


dependent greyhound charity, rehom­ ing more than 760 dogs last year alone - staffed entirely by volunteers and funded by donations alone.
