and handrail which has been placed on the rose garden was criticised by some members who said it was unsightly. Coun. John Shorter said: "We spend time on the Best-Kept


Village and then make a mess like that." Members com­ mented that cement had been splashed around the site and left, they would have pre­ ferred flags to concrete and they were not happy with the galvanised, square handrail. Coun. Bernard Parfitt point­ ed out that the village handy­ man should not be criticised as he had carried out the work


as requested. After a discussion, it was


black.


Toilets The parish council is look­ ing for a volunteer villager to


take responsibility for locking and unlocking the new toilets


on the car park each day. Anyone who can help is asked to contact Coun. Roger West­ brook or any parish council­

Gardens Sabden Parish Council is


revamping its annual gardens competition this summer to attract more interest. Entry numbers have dropped from up to 60 a few years ago to just 20 last year, with some sections only having two or


three entries. New-style entry forms and


new classes, including possi­ bly a children’s corner and a newcomer's garden, are to be introduced. Entry forms will go to every household later in


the year.The council introduced the competition to help keep the village looking bright, and there are trophies and certifi­ cates for the winners.

informed. The parish council agreed


to have a display at this August's flower festival in St Nicholas's Church on the


theme of village life. A spring of water running


down Watt Street is causing concern, and Ribble Valley Council is to be contacted for advice.


Spring Lodge Councillors welcomed the


news that the Spring Lodge is now repaired and full again after being empty for many weeks. A new footpath has been built around the lodge for walkers and a perch bench may be provided.


Matters arising Matters raised by council­ lors included criticism of the mess said to have been left by the contractors building the new toilet block; a blocked gully at Bull Bridge and the builder's sign at Sabden Brook Court, which needed removing. The ground in front of the bus stop in Watt Street is in a muddy state, and it was agreed to have loose chippings placed there. People are still parking ille-

have booked a number of peo­ ple, but councillors want a closer watch kept on the situ­


ation. The police will also be


asked to take action against motorists parking on the pavement at the top of Wes­


ley Street. There was concern yet again about the poor street lighting in Watt Street. Dog fouling in Watt Street


and Riverside Walk is again a problem, particularly as the children from St Mary's School use that route to church. I t was commented that dog walkers are using the village streets more because of the foot and mouth epi­ demic, and they are asked to be responsible and clean up any mess left by their pets. Coun. Bernard Parfitt com­ mented that the dog bins
