Recent articles in your pa­ per suggest even more house building in the surrounding areas. This action can only lead to the collapse of the town for many reasons, I say this due to the difficulty in park­ ing, especially since each new property will have two cars, will need extra schooling facil­ ities, doctors, car parking etc. In recent weeks the town has been choked by cars parked throughout. Eventually, shop­ pers will flee out of town and shop elsewhere and kill Clithe- roe. Another site with a park­ ing problem is our wonderful new hospital, which is choked every day. This Monday the car park was completely full at 9-30 am with cars parked on Chatburn Road, many spaces taken up by staff! What about the patients with appoint­ ments?

Answer A, Bor C in quiz Most days for over 30 years I have travelled to the golf club and the traffic congestion is getting steadily worse. The tailback entering Clithe- roe often stretches beyond Primrose Bridge and on odd days as far as Barraclough and beyond. Traffic waiting to enter the A59 is now often queued beyond the Barrow turnoff and on some days back down the hill towards Clithe- roe. It is overioyears sinceWhat­ ley Road pollution was breach­ ing European air regulations. According to one developer, the Government pays the lo­ cal authority £6,600 for each three-bedroomed house built. Ribble Valley Borough Council will therefore receive around £40million in Government bribes. Question 1. Will building 3,000 houses in Clitheroe and a further 3,000 in Ribble Val- ley villages: A. Dramatically increase con­ gestion and therefore pollu­ tion? B. Make a slight increase? C. Make little difference? Question 2. Will building the houses A. Create a huge demand for


extra school places? B. Make a marginal increase in


demand? C. Make little or no difference?


Question 3. Will the extra


houses require: A. Significant investment in rail and bus services to cope with the demand? B. A modest increase in public transport provision? C. Do as little as we can possi­ bly get away with? Answers: Straight As: You are obviously a sensible person and recog­ nise the isues facing Ribble Valley residents. One or more Bs: You need to look more carewfully at what is going on around you. One to three Cs: You are obvi­ ous out oftouch wih reality. I suggest a career in politics


might be a good move. Peter Brass,

Yoursupport is invaluable


I am writing on behalf of the local Guide Dogs for the Blind (Burnley Fund raising group) to express our sincere thanks to the people ofClitheroe and district for their generous support during our street col­ lection of 27th June. We raised a splendid £435 in about two hours, which is the time al­ lowed for our dogs. GDftB was founded in 1930 it has provided these wonder­ ful dogs to blind or partially sighted, to allow them a free­ dom and confidence only a well trained dog can give. Our puppy walkers, skilled volun­ teers, help turn tiny bundles of fur into young dogs ready to undergo professional training, and finally being partnered with their life long family. We have three working guide dogs and two puppies in and around Clitheroe We depend entirely on volun­ tary and legacy donations. Our members extend a heartfelt thanks to all who have contrib­ uted.

BATTLE OF BRITAIN Remembering


TheFew Starting on Friday (July 10th) and continuing throughout the summer, people across the


country will be marking the 75th anniversary of the Battle


ofBritain. As we recall those fateful days


and celebrate the bravery of the airmen involved, we also remember our enduring debt of gratitude to all who serve or have served. The RAF Benevolent Fund believes it is important for the country to share in the memo­ ry of that battle, which played out in the summer skies over­ head and saw the heroism of The Few save Britain from


invasion. W e


want to invite people


acrosstheUKtojoinusin showingtheirthanksforThe.


Few and celebrating a defin­ ing moment in our nation’s


history. That is why we are launching the RAF Benevolent Fund’s in­ augural Great British Sunday Lunch - a chance for families, friends, and communities to gather together on Sunday 13th September to host their own lunch, whether it be around the dining table or on a picnic rug in the late sum­ mer sun. We hope your readers will join us in honouring The Few and helping us raise vital funds so we can continue to support RAF veterans, serving person­ nel and their families. Your readers can find more in­ formation and sign up at www. rafbf.org/gbsl. Air Marshal Christopher Nickols

CANINESAFETY Treating dogs


with care Dogs, just like humans, can feel hot and bothered and per- hapsalittlegrumpyinthehot weather. So Dogs Trust would like to remind families about the charity’s dog safety cam­ paign Be Dog Smart which has some useful tips to help keep children safe around dogs this summer. A recent survey on behalf of Dogs Trust found that pull­ ing his tail, sitting on him and disturbing his sleep arejust some ofthe antagonising ways children can act around dogs. Almost a third of parents (32%) would let their child approach or pet dogs they don’t know and 44% would leave a child


under the age of 11 alone with a dog.


DIABETES


Easing worries over your child With the end ofthe school term approaching, many chil­ dren and parents will be look­ ing forward to the long sum­ mer break. But for parents whose chil­ dren have Type 1 diabetes, the summer holidays can be an anxious time as they look ahead to their child starting a new school in September. In addition to the worries many parents might have about whether their child will fit in and establish good relationships with their class mates and teachers, ifyour child has Type 1 diabetesyou may also be concerned about their safety, and whether their new school will know howto help them manage their diabe­ tes during their time there. It is vital that schools provide support to children with Type 1 diabetes to help them man­ age their condition effectively. A new law in England means all schools in the country now have a legal duty to ensure children with Type 1 diabe­ tes get the care they need in school, but some children still struggle to get this support. This is why we have launcheda Care in School Helpline which provides information and sup­ port around the care a child is entitled to receive at school. The helpline, supported by our National Charity Partner­ ship with Tesco, is staffed by volunteers who can provide information about children’s rights and can provide emo­ tional support at what can bea


stressful time. To contact the Care in School


Helpline, call 0345123 2399 or go to www.diabetes.org.uk/ care-in-school
