Parking chaos looms for Whalley as problems get a parish airing


by Ben Carlish


ISSUES surrounding car parking and traffic dominated Whalley Parish Council's annual


meeting. Speaker after speaker


expressed concern over the deteriorating situa­ tion in the village, with fewer spaces for more


cars. Contention surrounded


news that Whitbread Brewery was considering withdrawing the Whalley Arms car park from non­ patrons' use. Also, addi-


tional fears that traffic chaos would be caused by the developments at the former Calderstones Hos­ pital site were compound­ ed by the understanding that 50 new homes a year would be built at the site until the 320 capacity laid down by the planning inspectorate is reached. Whalley resident Mr


Ron Kay suggested that ample opportunities in the past to secure land for car parking had slipped through the parish council's fingers and now the paint­ ing of double yellow lines in many areas had further reduced car parking. Chairman Coun. Eric

Mayor Coun. Brian Collis welcomed delegates before Mr Kelvin Finder from the Jigsaw Partnership intro­ duced the day's events. He said: "A person's mental health improves when they are in work, but a main bar­ rier to employment for us is the stigma of mental health illness. People also think once you are ill, you will always be so."


Ben Carlish reports Mr Bob Grove, Director


of the Centre for Mental Health Services Develop­ ment Services at Kings Col­ lege, London,


then


addressed the conference about the changing nature of care for people with men­ tal health problems and the employment opportunities


open to them. Ho said: "This is a very


exciting and challenging time in mental health fields.


People with mental health illnesses are becoming more and more assertive about


what they need." He said that changes in


benefits law could have a positive effect in encourag­ ing employers to take on people with mental health illnesses, in addition to the more coercive Disability Discrimination Act, which outlaws prejudice against


people with mental health illnesses in the workplace. He welcomed initiatives


like the Lancashire County Council Stepping Stones Programme, which was set up in 1995 to help develop education provision for those with mental health problems. He concluded: "All the things that I said are going


on nationally are going on because of the work being carried out at local level through groups who need praising for their treatment of people with mental health illnesses." A presentation was later


made by the Ribblo Valley Mental Health Team about the work it is doing, before the conference split up into workshops to discuss now perspectives in the mental health employment arena.

Ronnan defended the parish council's record on the issue and said: "It's not our fault. We have set up a car parking working com­ mittee, but at the end of the day it's down to the bor­ ough council and the coun-


^


ty council. We are asked to comment on all the deci­ sions that go through that affect us, but that's all we


____ . . . .


can do." Ribble Valley member


Coun. Joyce Holgate added: "I have consistently •raised the issue of car park­ ing at the borough council time and time again, but all they keep saying is you find the land and we'll provide the car park." She added that two years


ago the borough council had an opportunity to secure a new lease on the Whalley Arms car park, but the brewery's asking price meant that charges for parking would have to be made to pay for it. Howev­ er, when Coun. Holgate approached local groups and residents, she said she was told they did not want charges to be put in place and no deal was made. A laissez-faire situation has exi.sted until now.


. But Mr Henry Shepherd, t ■ « *■ T T 01


who sits on the village's car parking steering group, felt it should have been made clear at the time that if they did not agree to the charges, then, ultimately they would not have access to the car park at all. Coun. Arthur Pearson


summed up many people's concerns when he said: "What's going to happen to the disabled and the elderly who want to use the health centre, where are they going


to park?" On another parking mat­


ter, Mrs Jean Miller was vociferous in pointing out that in her opinion "selfish" car users parking in the bus bay in King Street outside the newsagent's, were caus­ ing a major hazard. She said: "When they park there, children and elderly people are forced to get on


■ the bus in the middle of the road. They need to pull in to the pavement so passen­


gers can get on and off at the pavement. As it stands it is extremely dangerous." PC Kate Sutcliffe said


d in -> -> /Y o L O T» Tl


local police were booking people parking in the bay, while "staking " it out . Police presence often acted as a deterrent, but they could not be there 24 hours a day, she said. To conclude the meeting,


Mr John Young, of the Environment Agency, gave a talk about the organisa­ tion's work and details about a Ribble Environ ment Plan, which the agency is drawing up over the next two months. Its aim, he said, is to develop a five-year action plan sus­ taining and improving the Ribble Valley environment. The programme is to be launched in June and he said a series of meetings was planned in the area. At


. these, local people would be given a chance to comment


on the plans. 2 ] GEMINI May 22 - June 21
