‘Nightmare’ claim of residents living near village business park
PLANNING policy surrounding a car park at the Simonstone Lane Business Park had created a living nightmare for nearby residents, council
lors heard last week. The criticism came from Mr John Hill, prospective Conservative candidate for Simonstone at the next local elections in May, during the public participation session
at a meeting of Ribble Valley Council. He highlighted residents’ fears over the scheme for a new
vehicular access to the Granville Technology car park and traffic calming measures.
Mr Hill expressed concerns about the impact on a rural environment of "the opening of the car park and the pres
, . , ,
ence of chicanes along Simonstone Lane". He also pointed out the possibility of traffic queuing
along the lane in both direction as drivers waited to gain access before the car park barriers opened at 7 a.m. He went on: "In view of the history of this diabolical
ing measures would have on the surrounding environment. The case officer did not consider that the scheme would prove unduly detrimental to the existing landscape quali ties or residential amenities and thus recommended
accordingly. "The imposition of that condition was purely a reflec
tion of the level of public concern regarding the formation of the access. Therefore, for you now to express reserva tions about the imposition of such measures and the effects which they will have, is, I suggest, somewhat unrea sonable, having regard to past events." Turning to the question of queuing traffic, Coun.

WADDINGTON:
Village fair This year the villagers of Waddington are holding
their most ambitious festi val to date. Over the years the village has welcomed spring and celebrated the end of long winter nights by holding a village fair. A few years ago the old
tradition of crowning the May Queen was re-estab lished as the focal point of the celebrations. This, together with Maypole dancing by the children, gave further impetus to the fair and its success has led to an even more extrava gant programme of events. This year there will be a
children's disco for the under-14s
tomorrow
evening. The following night will be the turn of the older villagers to dig out those flares and headbands and be cool with flowers in their hair for a 60s and 70s boogie night. To continue the festivi
ties, the church croft will be the venue for a Jazz on the
Croft afternoon on Sunday when tables will be laden with picnic food and wine while families relax listening to the Pendle Jazz Men. Monday will be the spring fair day, when all the village children, particular ly the young girls who will get into their pretty frocks, will walk in procession from the vicarage to the croft led by the Boys' Brigade Band. Here the May Queen will be crowned and her first offi cial duty will be to open the fair whereupon everyone can enjoy the side-shows, games, races, stalls, tea tent and licensed bar. Everyone is invited to
attend the various events and visitors can expect a warm welcome. The organ isers are obviously hoping for glorious weather, but in the extremely unlikely event of this not being the case, there will be a mar quee.
