A COUNCIL committee I chairman says that some


I ' of his colleagues are "a lit­ tle bit long-winded." As Ribble Valley Bor­


ough Council was passing the Community Commit­ tee minutes, its chairman Coun. Graham Sowter remarked that the last meeting had had to sit


rather late. "Every effort should be


made to speed up our pro­ ceedings —


has not got through to all members of the commit­ tee," said Coun. Sowter. "So 80 per cent of the talking is done by 20 per cent of the committee and on this occa­ sion it was three or four of the members." Sometimes, suggested

and, as president of Lions Clubs International, he highlighted the work done all over the world, as well as the aims achieved in Clitheroe. He told guests that there are 1.25 million members in the world, with 20,000 here in the

Coun. Sowter, points were made because councillors had not read the officials reports about things — or questions were put which would have been more appropriately answered by way of a telephone calMo the relevant council official. Some members did not


think they needed to pre­ pare their contributions or make notes, so they often repeated the same points. "It is time individual coun­ cillors looked at them­ selves," suggested Coun. Sowter, indicating that he wanted the the committee's meeting to function more


efficiently.No one commented on Coun. Sowter's remarks and


the minutes were passed.

Ribchester homes plan is refused


AN application to change agricultural land a t Ribchester into gardens for seven houses has been


refused.


Members of Ribble Valley Borough Council's


Planning and Develop­ ment Committee voted


against the plans to alter the land a t the rear of Chesterbrook as, if approved, it would have set "a dangerous prece­ dent" for the acceptance of other similar proposals


in the future. The proposals, put for­


ward by Mr Bernard Smith, involved the cre­


ation of two extended str ips of domesticated garden area into the adja­


cent field, which would have intruded into the previously s traig h t boundary line at the top of the estate. Ownership of the land is already in the possession of the respective properties. A report put forward to


field and would not only be contrary to the coun­ cil's emerging policies with regard to curtilage extensions, but be detri­ mental to visual amenity. "It would therefore, if


approved, result in an ill- defined breach into the surrounding field by means of the likely impact of domestic para­ phernalia such as sheds, washing lines and chil­ dren's play equipment." But Coun. Brian Collis

tions. He said: "Over 100 yards away from the site there is a garden that has been extended. I cannot see how we could object to this proposal. To do so


would be wrong." The committee agreed
