councillor WITH reference to the letter “What is best for Sabden ’’ in last week's paper, I am glad that your correspondent Mr Bithcll has found 6i years in Sab­ den so friendly and so pleasant.


My wife and I found the


same welcome 26 years ago. During all that time Miss Alice Alston has proved her­ self to be a continuing ex­ ponent and proponent on behalf of us all.


When we came to Sabden in 1947 it was a decaying


textile village in the after- math of war. Between then and now it has transformed itself into a place to which Mr Bithell has been glad, ns he says, to emigrate from an industrial town.


Alston for being unrepresen­ tative of Sabden, Mr Bithcll on his own admission should be grateful to Sabdeners like her, who through severe crises have made Sab'den a place to which he is glad to emigrate.


Far from attacking Miss Mr Bithell, as an ex-urban


councillor, knows that it is much easier and in some circles more popular to pro­ pose the spending of other people's money than to devise the means of making it.


What does not appear yet


to be clear enough is that we all have a struggle on our hands to provide the essentials.


is clear about that. In good and in bad times alike Miss Alston is clear about it. No doubt that is why a sizeable majority in Sabden has con­ sistently voted for her.

The Issue of whether tne

1)0 done to detract from the fact that this is an indus­ trial area of the village. Some improvement might be achieved by landscaping the brook and developing the site, even for industry, on similar lines to the small works site at Upbrooks m

small when wc look at the village as a whole. Building was allowed on the Eight Acre estate, bordering on the oldest part of the village, which is totally out of keep­ ing with that area. When viewed from the surrounding hills, this estate stands out


like a sore thumb. The treatment is repeated ■


on tile Littlcmoor estate. , which borders on the second oldest part of the village. If wc are really concerned .


about beauty and eqvlron- i ment. these buildings should have been kept in reasonable ! style with tile historic sur­
