dling from the EU I WOULD like to bring to your readers’ attention what is happening in the EU these last few weeks.

faceless bureaucrats in the EU (^ivho are responsible for coming up with all sorts of nonsense directives) to add the following: required information on a female work- related census that they plan to bring out. "The questions related to the sexual ex-,

■ the anonymous contributor last week who feared a “benefits gheiio” in (he'


Henthorn area should a multi-home de­ velopment go ahead. My first thoughfis that the Ribble Val-;


ley, along with virtually every other area' is crying out for starter/low cost afford- able housing and every effort should be made to make this a reality. However such a massive development would surely


be far too large due to tlie lack of infra­ structure.^ It is clear that not enough is being done


.by local authorities to pressurise the rel­ evant bodies to ensure that people both young and old can get on tlic property lad- ‘ der, as the options of part-buy and part- rent are neither one thing nor the other, a My second thought was how shallow


and narrow minded the writer was to as-' sume that those in need of the important asset of owning a home would all be on loenefits and create a ghetto. 1 am guess­ ing,.but he or she has probably had a house for years, paid off or nearly paid off with planned investments etc. and lead­ ing a comfortable life. If I am wrong can I apologise in advance. Finally the winner of this week’s “Pass- ’


ing The Buck Award” must go to Coun­ cillor Richard Sherras who, when Clithe­ roe and its many residents are faced with a potentially major issue, can at best tell those concerned to contact the develop­ ers. In my opinion he should have offered contacts at the council or other bodies that could base with those concerned and perhaps arrange a meeting to hear at fiist hand their views. ■ ■


. . Alongside tills I say again, eveiy effort must be made obtain a workable plan to create, these much-needed homes and
