CHIPPING
Third World ■ President of Chipping WI
m s .
Mrs Carol Grant welcomed members and visitors to the meeting with good wishes for the New Year. Guest speaker Mrs Carol Livesey gave a talk on “Child Sponsorship in the Third World”, describing the work of Plan International, an organisation which has worked for the past 58 years to give poor people the chance to improve their own lives through small-scale develop ment projects. By sponsoring a child for a
small monthly amount, the life of the whole village can be improved. Local people choose a project to improve their edu cation, water supply, sanita tion, health or housing. The aim is to help people solve their problems in their own way. The sponsor is put in touch with the child and can see the difference their help makes through letters, pho tographs and regular progress reports. In thanking Mrs Livesey for
a thought-provoking talk, Mrs Grant remarked on the strik ing difference between the basic needs of the Third World and the excesses of our recent celebrations over Christmas and New Year. Mrs Grant drew the atten

Garages Controversial plans for a
block of six garages behind Pendle Street East, Sabden, are to be objected to by Sab den Parish Council. At a spe cial planning committee meet ing on Monday, councillors agreed to. support nearby householders who spoke out strongly against the plans by Pendle Street East resident Mr David Warburton, who has a commercial classic car renovation business adjoining the site. The residents told council
lors that they believed the planned garages - which would replace an existing double garage - were a way of Mr Warburton extending his existing works premises which, they claimed, already contra vened planning conditions laid down when permission was granted by Ribble Valley Bor ough Council. Watt Street residents Mr
Kevan Lingard, Mr David Parsons, Mr Chris Dun- derdale and Mr Mark Ford,
.School into houses, which include parking spaces for some of the houses, and resi dents said th a t no more garages are needed in th a t area. Mr Warburton, who also
oper behind the redevelop ment of the old St Mary’s
attended the meeting, said that he had no intention of extending his business. The garages would be for sale or
rental and he would not be allowed to use them for com mercial pursposes. He said the double garage
on the site was not very attractive and the new ones would be less obtrusive. Councillors present were
Anita Whalley, Jean Haythornthwaite, John Short er, Frank Goss and Gordon Higham. Coun. Goss, who is also the borough councillor, said it was a brownfield site and so could be developed. If the garages were passed, the borough council could impose conditions that they are for domestic use only. But other members said
they were as concerned as the residents and voted to object to the application on the
grounds of noise, pollution, increased traffic bringing safe ty fears for children, and that there is no need for the garages. Coun. Goss abstained. The matter will be decided by the borough plan ning committee. At the same meeting, coun
cillors looked at plans for an extension to Sabden Nursery and had no objections. Con cern was expressed about excessive dog fouling in Watt Street and around St Mary’s School. Owners are asked to be more careful and not allow their dogs to foul.

There had been no response from the Methodist Church to the request for the use of premises for a youth club, but the state of the youth shelter had improved considerably. It had appeared a lot tidier and a local resident had volunteered to paint it. There was a prob lem with drainage, and the vil lage lengthsman is to be instructed to re-lay the flags. Councillors were much happi er about the situation. I t was agreed to write to Raymond and Eileen Lowe,
■ who have recently retired from the Holme Committee, thank ing them for their years of hard work on behalf of the vil lage. Coun. Goss asked that the

Significant demands on service
WORK related to Clitheroe-based company Castle Cement over the
past decade has placed “sig nificant demands’ on the borough’s environmental health service. The department’s imp
rovement plan 2002/2003, which was brought before Ribble Valley Borough Council’s Community Committee, noted that over the last decade, since the introduction of Cemfuel at the Ribblesdale plant, there had been “ongoing signifi cant demands” on the envi ronmental health service in relation to air quality issues and the protection of local community interests. Environmental Health
Manager Mr James Russell said his team was still deal ing with “a substantial amount of work” linked to Castle Cement. As well as the variety of
documents which have merited response and the various organisations the council has links to, he said around 40 complaints are received each year, generat ing significant correspon dence, and accounting for around 8% of the total complaints his department receives annually. Committee members agreed to approve the plan’s implementation in the cur rent financial year.
Go-ahead for barn homes
A BARN can be converted to two homes, despite oppo sition from a parish council. At a meeting of Ribble
Valley Borough Council Planning and Development Committee, councillors heard th a t the proposed development, at Dewhurst Farm, Longsight Road, Langho, was opposed on the basis that the plan did not comply with borough council guidelines th a t barns be converted for com mercial use. However, officers pointed
out that despite marketing, there was no commercial demand for the barn, so the proposal for housing devel opment was approved.
