Work restarts on empty village shop


WORK has finally restarted on a dis­ used Sabden shop after it was left in a "dangerous" s ta te


for months. Residents living


near the shop at the corner of Watt Street and Pendle Street West have been com­ plaining for months about allegedly pre­ carious masonry and scaffolding which they fear is a danger to


pedestrians. Although work started


on the shop, which is being converted into two houses by Darwen-based firm, Troy County Ltd, around three months ago - builders have rarely


been seen at the site. Lancashire County


Council's Assistant Area Surveyor, Mr Peter Finch, said until last Wednesday the firm did not have a licence to erect scaffolding on a public highway which costs £13 per week. Sabden Parish Council contacted Troy County

BOROUGH council­ lors have decided not to take action after a Langho property owner complained his land was being used as access to a nearby


main road. Mr Peter Goodill, who


owns the house in the Rogersfield Estate, but lives in Slaidburn, told Ribble Valley Borough Council Community Committee that if a safe access was made from the open space, next to his property, to Whalley New Road, the problem would be reduced. He also stressed the


risk to their properties. It was also felt that if a new, sturdier fence was erected, it would suffer the same


fate as Mr Goodill's.. Council official Mr


Graham Jagger said that the open space had been "a problem from day one" and that an area of land­ scaping had been intro­ duced in the past to encourage people to stay further away. But committee chair­
