HOMES PLAN IS TURNED DOWN


PLANS for a residential development on land at Pendle Street East, Sab- den, have been blocked by the Ribble Valley Coun­ ci I ’ s D e v e lo pm e n t Sub-committee. Members were told that


there had been four letters from nearby residents objecting to the plan on amenity grounds. Members felt that the


plan would detract from the rural quality of the environment and would be visually intrusive and detrimental to the charac­ ter of the area. Also, the access to the proposed dwellings was


considered in appropriate and would cause conges­ tion on the road, to the


detriment of the character and amenities of the locality.

Coun. Tom Wiseman


said: “Emergency repairs are needed immediately. It has been left unlit and is very dangerous. If some­ thing isn't done soon, it is going to get much worse.” The council agreed to

As freezing snow built


along Whalley Road near Whins Avenue is causing pedestrians to have to walk into the main road on a blind bend, councillors said. “ It is creating a real


hazard on a dangerous bend," commented Coun. Wiseman. The Highways authority is again to be contacted. Coun. Albert Atkinson,


the borough representa­ tive, suggested that they should contact County Coun. Mrs Gill Lea and ask her to step in and sort out the problems if noth­ ing is done. The rubbish skip which


comes to the village four times a year will in future stay for one week instead o f tw o . C ou n c i l lo r s requested the visits in April. July, October and January. Members reluctantly


decided that there was nothing they could do about the broken fence at the bridge over Badger Well Water, leading to G r i m s h aw T e r r a c e . Although they agree it could be dangerous, as there is a steep drop into the water, they have been unable to establish the ownership of the bridge. The council had no


objections to two planning applications in the pipeline involving Sabden. These were for a two-storev extension at a house in Clitheroe Road and an application by Mr John Robinson for change of use of 54 Whalley Road to taxi hire premises. Councillors said there was no objec­ tion, as long as there is re a s on a b 1e par k i n g provision. Following a request


from residents at the Whalley Road end of Gar­ deners Row, the County Surveyors Department is to be asked to look at the possibility of erecting a street light. The next meeting was


set for March 1st in the Methodist Rooms, at 7-30
