sited new homes? I CANNOT understand why so. many people are against having any houses built In Clitheroe: meaning, none whatsoever. What is wrong with building some
houses near our link roads? The extra traffic generated will not always have to travel through town with easy access to the A59, and similarly construction traffic would cause less disruption. Surely every building application can
not be refused, so why not minimise some of the negative impact? At the moment Whalley Road is almost gridiocked at certain times of day by a fleet of largely empty school buses from Ribblesdale and the Grammar school. • Why don’t they travel to the by-pass via

Pendle road or Pimlico link road? Just an example of how simple solutions can be found to traffic problems. Maybe if Clitheroe children were given
priority at our schools another problem would be solved. Personally I don’t see good reasons why more hpuses cannot be built on land off Chatbuirn Road or the Salthill area. I ’m sure many other people would
agree with me. NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED

1- Cn > r • Misinformed, but
my point stands I WRITE in response to the letter from former Coun. Berryman, which appeared in the Clitheroe Advertiser last week (Oc tober 20th edition, “I wasn’t there, ask Det. Insp. Regan”). I wrote to the Advertiser during the
previous week following a letter Coun. Berryman had had published in which he asserted that the Planning Committee should choose its battles more carefully. The insinuation was that they should not
have turned down the Co-Op’s applica tion to build 80 houses off Riadings Lane, Whalley. Having read his response I see that the insinuation was correct.
In.the course of my letter I said that
Coun. Berryman was one of only two councillors who voted in favour of the Co-Op’s application. Having checked the council’s minutes, I see that he was not present and clearly therefore could not have voted on the application. For this er ror I must apologise. Misinformation I’m
afraid. While this was an unfortunate error
it does not affect the purpose of my re sponse to his first letter. Nobody is ex pecting the council to turn every applica tion down, neither has it been suggested that they should do so. However, council lors must still be free to decide whether to vote for, or against an application, having listened to the advice of the officers but also, vitally, the people whose lives would be affected by it.

be more honest, with the town now hav ing, much like the rest of the UK, several empty shops. Sure, there are plenty of lavishly stocked shops if you have lots of dosh: for example if you have just moved into the district with a golden handshake from a failing bank, subsidised by taxpay ers.

Blakey, of Bolton-by-BowIand. He was delighted with his trade, hav ing just graduated from Bishop Burton
' College with a National Diploma in Agri culture. His second prize Texel shearling ram was out of a homebred ewe and sired by Dutch Texel, and sold to Simon Duer- den, of Blacko.
' Next best was, the first prize Texel
shearling ram from Sam Mellor, of Stoke- on-Trent, which sold for £600 to Steven Entwistle. of Darwen. Suffolk breeding
and dairy farmer Mark Gornall, of Clithe roe, sold his Suffolk Shearling for £600 to J. M. Fisher, of Belmont, near Bolton. Alan Harker, of Long Preston, was in
the money with his pen of Texel shear lings which topped at £590 and aver aged £535. Frank Cleary, of Tockholes, achieved £590 for his Beltex-cross-Cha- rollais lamb. Another Lancashire farmer achieving close to the £600 mark was Joe Holden, of Edgworth, Bolton, with his 1 exel shearling ram, which sold for £590
toS.monFoster, of Calton, near Skipton. M-Williams and Sons’ journey from Denbighshire. North Wales, was worth
while when they sold their pen of Beltex shearlings to top at £580 to average £548. The champion ram was a February-
born Texel lamb from John Mellin, of Hellifield. Sired by a Castlecairn Red Arrow tup and out of a home-bred ewe form Mr Mellin’s Hull House flock, the champion sold to the pre-sale judges Ri chard and Jonathan Frankland on behalt
Frankland Farms, Rathmell. Averages were: Texel shearlings £394;
Suffolk shearlings £366; Charollais £350, Suffolk lambs £322; Texel lambs £271.
Auctioneers were Richard Turner ana Son.

clothed, which gives the game away: “Our members own and run many of the world famous (sic) shops...” You’re havin’ a laugh! That might well be the response of
any outsider reading this, and then meet ing the reality. It may interest the chamber that many
come to Clitheroe, as indeed they do to Skipton, one of our competitors, on coach trips, to look around the charity shops. These are not listed in the guide. Strange ly also, for a town guide, there are several adverts from out of the town and valley, e.g. Accrington, Blackburn, Burnley’ Great Harwood and Rishton! But the cheekiest piece of spin, not dis
honesty, of course, is on page 13. Wow! So, TV chef Nigel Haworth actually came off his throne, walked around the “oft overlooked gem” o f a market and chat ted, yes, just like The Queen might do, to lucky traders. He was impressed. There is a problem: where is the market, held on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, which is pictured, the one with a roof supported by green cast iron pillars? This “oft over looked gem” is not in Clitheroe, as far as I can tell, thus explaining why it is often not seen! Perhaps the Advertiser could run a competition, with a meal at one of Nig’s gaffs as a prize. No doubt such a renowned chef would happily give away a meal and perhaps local traders would donate the ingredients! With “over 80 stalls” it should not take long to find the necessary backing. Cloud cuckoo land? No, just the usual
contemporary disease of bad marketing via inflated promotion, which now cor rupts not just business, but politics. Any good marketeer knows that you cannot continue to sell a duff product. You “get found out”. Clitheroe is a good place to live, and visit, but it will not benefit by inflated claims for its attractions. We should be proud to be outside the Premier League, where corruption is rife and only money counts. Small can be beautiful as the English economist E. F. Schumacher suggested in 1973.
