ANGRY parents turned out in force when the East Lancashire school places row was aired at a public meeting.
About 250 parents attended the meeting at St Peter's Church, Salesbury, which was addressed by education bosses.
Parents in Ribble Valley villages on the outskirts of Blackburn have won their fierce battle for places at Clitheroe schools for their children. But they are calling on Lancashire County Council to take action to stop the situation happening again.
They were up in arms after their children were offered school places in Accrington, Rishton and Blackburn.
Parent spokesman Stuart Finch said: "The mood of the meeting was one of concern that this problem will arise again."
