Renault publicity WHAT a hoo-ha about the.RenauIt Meg- ane advert featured on the front page of the Clitheroe Advertiser. . ^


; We used to live in Gisburn, in one


■ of the picturesque cottages shown oh the shot of the now famous mini-rounda­ bout that has been twinned with a foun-


; tain in Menton. ■; I wouldn’t have said it had a quiet so­ cial scene when we lived in the village; the"


' through traffic was the main drawback. . If Renault was seeking publicity by-


causing controversy then it has certainly ■ worked well, with some of the locals up in arms and others fairly laid back about it, resulting in it being picked up by local and national press and TV.


; They say any publicity is good public­ ity, so Gisburn should use the opportunity of its sudden fame to promote the posi­ tive aspects of the village, as visitors may come just to see what all the fuss is about. We shall have to see how the stoiyline


• develops, as word is that once a Megane arrives in Gisbum the village suddenly be-


: comes full of the Menton ‘Joie de vivre”. I wonder if the tables will then be


turned and we will see some equally dreary shots of Menton? KATHLEEN CALVERT,

PLEASE could I use your letters page firstly to pass on my thanks to Paul Carl-


• ton, both for the original photo used in your story about the parish church spire : (July 22nd) and the Photoshop work. Paul tells me he was almost ashamed of


desecrating the image and did not want any credit, but it has certainly attracted a lot of attention. Secondly, thanks to everyone who has


already made generous donations: we desperately need more so please dona­ tions and help with fundraising so visit our website (www.simaryclitheroe.com) to find out how you can help. And fmally, of course, thanks to the


Advertiser and your staff for helping to preserve this beautiful part of our Clitlie- roc heritage.

Parking concern


AS I suspected and highlighted in my let­ ter published in the Clitheroe Advertiser of July 15th, it would appear that, fol­ lowing consultation with Martin Nugent - Lancashire County Council’s Traffic and Development Engineer - Pimlico Road will lose four parking spaces if the proposed development by Sunderland


Peacock Associates at Hazelmcre gets the green light.


• Whilst Mr Nugent has very kindly Ill: • >■ ■ 'v- -k y i in


highlighted that the loss of the spaces will have an impact on localised parking patterns, “as there is already a high de- rhand from residents, visitors, students at CRGS and local employees”, he has no objection to the application on highway safety grounds. ■ . So as far as he is concerned, because SPA has provided eight spaces for the


/ four residential units within the plan, that is that box ticked, and he could not really give a monkey’s about the impact the loss ■ of the spaces will have on the residents.


. Maybe Mr Nugent should take a trip down Pimlico Road during term time and


:;see for himself the impact this will have : - more cars parked on junction corners,


, more cars mounted on pavements and obstructive parking, which of course, for. ■


triansafety. It is about time these so called “engi­


neers” got out of their offices and talked to the people who live in these commu­ nities to really see how planning applica­ tions like the one at Hazelmere will affect them, although I suspect they’ll just con- ■ tinue to hide behind policy and hope ir­


ritated residents will just go away. ADAM HOWARD, ■ Pimlico Road, Clithcroe


My cathedral idea WHILE cycling back from Sawley through Grindleton on a pleasant sum­ mer’s evening it struck me, not for the first time, how incongruous the great chimneys at Castle Cement are in such beautiful surroundings. As I pedalled along, I mused upon simi­


lar excursions amongst southern scenery, and how the main visual interruptions in the rural south tend to be church spires. These graceful structures to my mind en­ hance the scenery' rather tlian detracting from it. Cue the “light bulb moment”-what we


need is a Castle Cement Cathedral! It should not be beyond the wit of man


to create a structure to envelop the Castle Cement chimneys with a graceful church tower, topped by a suitably dreaming spire. It has never going to be inspected at close quarters, so a mere impressionist tower would be quite sufficient, and it can be made of anything that’s strong enough , to withstand the Lancashire weather. Admittedly passers-by on the A59 who


were not in the know might think it odd that a cathedral tower was occasionally


. would promote lively conversation and might even become something of a tour­ ist attraction. .

YOU will no doubt receive many let- ters this week, but as someone who has

worked on both sides of this particular coin, I also wished to write in. As a stallholder at the Clitheroc Fine ■


Foods and Craft Street Market last Satur­ day I just wanted to pass on my absolute heartfelt congratulations to the Cham­


ber of Trade and Ribble Valley Borough Council, the local emergency seivices


LCC Highways, market traders (for their patience and co-operation!), our local media teams, local business owners and


residents of Clitheroc for all their efforts. Having organised many military events


in the past, and knowing first hand the positive effects the Ludlow and Aberga­ venny Food Festivals have had on their towns over the years, I can advise your readers that these civilian events take a lot of organising. It can be very frustrating negotiating


with local authorities to geuhem off the ground, and tliey would not happen at all witliout an army of volunteers, giving up their own time either. I know for a fact that tlie Chamber of


Trade hit quite a. number of walls last minute.-


Of course, there also will be tliose who


will slate the organisers for tlie tiniest dis­ ruption and technical problem that arose, alas there always are. So it would be veiy helpful for these people to advise tlie or­ ganisers politely of their findings, instead • ofwhinging about them to others. At least then it gives the organisers an


opportunity to consider their points and rnaybe build them into their plans for ne.xt


time - which Psincerely hope there will be.


I noticed very few “dramas”, and those


I did were only to be expected, so I will mention these in passing. It was the first time I, and many other


stallholders, had taken the bull by the horns and nervously ventured into com- rnitting to a stand. A lot of expense and risk went into this, but what a fantastic result we all had! V,' The town was really buzzing with peo­


ple from as far as Blackpool and York coming over to joiri us and buy our foods and crafts. I sold out within a few hours! So really well done everyone - the


“Ludlow ideal” is getting closer! ^ JULIE WHALLEY, BunsofBowland
