Cllr Atkinson from Clitheroe, almost 40 miles away, will be the one who makes the decision that will seal the fate of St. Anne's tip! Despite being invited he hasn't visited the site to date. Please contact him with your views about the proposed closure. albert.atkinson@lancashire.gov.uk. Local Conservative Councillors have now joined the campaign against closure. It was a pity they didn't join the Liberal Democrats back in February when we were at the tip gates gathering signatures on a petition to keep it open. The Conservative controlled Lancashire County Council are now looking at some form of waste transfer/ waste management facility to replace it, or planning to locate one at the new Whitehills Business Park or on the Queensway Industrial Estate. Isn't it lucky that at National level we have a coalition to moderate the sort of nonsense the Conservatives go in for when left to themselves. Please look at Tony Ford's & Howard Henshaw's blogs via the links to get the full story on this & other local issues.
