h e a d y h e a d y I read with interest . W. A.' ' Kimbery’s letter reference .; the shares issue for Whalley? Hydro (Clitheroe Advertiser, : April 25th) and the fact they . were priced at £250, thus cut- , ting out the small investor.: -.


People should thank Whalley Hydro for this since it means


.they will not lose their hard earned money. . .


.The small low head hydro . , developers all claim exagger-: . ated profits for their operation I .but none do so. If we take the k


I nearest example; that of Settle II Hydro; the operators claimed' investors would make a divi­

■ Small Hydros produce negligi­ ble electricity, it is estimated' that if all 28,000 sites were hi


.full capacity they would con­ tribute 0.5% to the nation’s is energy needs. ' ■ They are not even green but that is another story. If the? people of Burnley have aiiy

DEVELOPMENT I W e n e e d jo b s !


b e fo re houses Having read your headline this week regarding the protests at proposed over-development at the top of Pendle Road, I ; wonderedhowmany people,. were aware that there are also cash incentives to local coun-; oils for approving the building ofnewhomes. Accordingto agovernment paper I have seen, it read: . “Communities should benefit when they choose to devel­ op in a sustainable manner, so we,(the government) will match pound for pound the council tax receipts that local authorities receive fornew ;. homes to encourage sensitive' local development for up to six years after the house build.” ? It does go on into more detail but becomes quite complex. It states that “Communities” should “choose” to develop. I don’tknowifthe word “com­ munities” means you and I or the council, and the word “choose” could mean you will be told and not have a choice. This scheme is called New ’ Homes Bonus; type this into your search engines and you .


can folio w the links and see for yourself.


- . Whether you are for or against


this development it does ap­ pear, yet again, to involve one thing, and that’s money. ‘ I do wonder where the term “affordable housing” comes from, who decides what is af­ fordable and what isn’t? How on earth the younger . generation of today can get oh thepropertyladderanyway,


bafflesme,whatwithlowem ployment, banks not giving


mortgages and especially in , Clitheroe having to travel out

1 feel 1 had to express my objec- tiontoandconcernaboutal; couple of matter which I heard about during the weekend. Firstly, as the Year 11 pupils at


iRibblesdale School prepare for their “stand down” this Friday; (May 24th), 1 understand it has been arranged by some of the" pupils to attend agathering at Brungerley Park in the after- ; , noon. Pupils appear to be openly bragging about what and how f ' much alcohol they are to take to the event.


_ -


Was it not after a similar event last year that aftenvarrds local residents cleared up a hoard of bottles and drink cans in the park and along the river? ‘ Secondly, a house party was arranged by some CRGS pu­ pils for themselves and their French exchange students to;; attendlasFridayevening.lt ' has been suggested to me that alcohol and cigarettes were freely available at this party.' During the weekend I have - spoken to several parents and


it is apparent that parties for children are commonplace ? with the inclusion of alcohol


and cigarettes, with children asyoung as 13 being invited. Do we, as adults, hot have to question this behaviour? Surely the parents and chil­ dren are aware that laws are clearly being broken and in- . .


deed a host of child safeguard­ ing issues coming into play. 1 urge parents, teachers/shop., worker^and, of course, the po­ lice, to make a stand on these matters and let us once again learn to protect our children and not neglect them. Nam e a n d a d d re s s s u p p l ie d

ft':; Even in Clitheroe, the Labour I


vote was up by 10%, despite 'M . being squeezed by a local anti-? housing development candi-ft|

managed to contest only one i??: of the four Ribble ValleyBor- ough seats (even in 2009 they?3 managed to stand in two) and' failed to increase their share "ft of the vole compared with the


.2010 General Election. When we look at the County"• ft Council results for the Rib- .ft ble Valley Parliamentary Constituency, theLibDem : collapse is almost complete, . trailing in fourth place with 3 '; a mere 8% share.
