Ten members of the public attended, alon? with the leader ol Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council, Coun. John Hill, Borougl Coun. Michael Field­ ing, PC Paul Sherratl and a representative from the Community Future’s “Undiscov­ ered Bowland’ scheme who gave a short address about the value of villages being involved. He explained how beinj involved in the scheme could bring in cash for village pro­ jects and help to bring the community together, but it would need the support ol the whole village tc succeed. His visit was a follow up from a pre sentation in Sabden ir. October and since then parish council­ lors have been consid­ ering joining the scheme which they were told is working well in other commu­ nities such as Whal- ley. The parish councb will discuss it furthei and possibly hold an open meeting to gel the views of residents. Coun. John Hill out­ lined “a tough sis months” on the bor­ ough council with the main issues being regional government, which had gone away for now, but only tem­ porarily, he felt; the transfer of pub and


club licensing front the magistrates to the


borough council foi which no extra money is made available as il is supposed to be self­ financing; the decrim- inalisation of parking, discussions on the possible transfer ol the council’s housing stock to the private sector; the recent rejection of the appli­ cation to build s mosque in Clitheroe and the reorganisa­ tion of the committer

He said the council was currently going through its budget process and an 18% increase in council tax was likely - even before the county council and police element was includ­ ed. He said they were trying to keep rates down by judi­ cial pruning and sav­ ings and were look­ ing a t the capital programme to see what was achiev­ able. Councillors raised a query about mini buses using the vil­ lage car park and Coun. Hill said he would look into the planning conditions implemented when the owners were granted an opera­ tors’ licence. In response to a question about new equipment on the park he said the bor­ ough council was looking at the possi­ bility of taking over responsibility for maintenance of the park. He said there were grants avail­ able for equipment but they should get their application in as soon as possible.


He urged parish coun­ cillors to attend planning meetings at Clitheroe to put forward their views on applications they felt strongly about. He also asked for copies of parish council minutes so that councillors in Ribble Valley could get a better insight into parish council matters.

War memorial Plans for a new war memorial in Sabden took a step forward a t last Tuesday’s meeting of the parish council. There had been a suggestion to place it in River Walk in front of the Contrast factory. However, a number of people attending the meet­ ing, including Joyce Holgate, whose guardsman brother was the first Sabden serviceman to be killed in the Second World War, and Mrs Agnes Harold who lost her husband, Walter, in the con­ flict, said they would prefer it to be cen­ trally positioned on the rose gardens. The village has memorials inside the village school and


• parish church, but these are not accessi­ ble to all and many residents want an outside memorial that can be seen by all. After a long discus­ sion it was decided to send out ques­ tionnaires to -the whole village asking people if they did


want a memorial and where they would prefer it to be sited. Cost is not expected to be an issue as resident Mr Simon Mount, who has campaigned for a memorial for some time, said his family would be prepared to help with the build­ ing of it and it is thoughts that grants are available.


Gardeners Row The “atrocious” state of the unmade road in front of the hous­ es in Gardeners Row, was again raised at the council meeting. Residents Mr Jim Fort and Mrs Pat Srawley asked per­ mission of the coun­ cil to move the bol­ lards on the play area back slightly to allow them to sur­ face the unmade, private road. Coun­ cillors and PC Paul Sherratt agreed that it was up to the resi­ dents to carry out any work themselves on the road and councillors would meet with them after Christmas to discuss moving the bollards. PC Sher­ ratt, who is to become community beat manager for Sabden, Read and Simonstone later this month, said he would be in the vil­ lage more and could address the issue of parents, using the road as a rat run to and from the prima­ ry school, causing a danger to children in the area.


Lights The broken lighting column in Whalley Road near Contrast had still not been repaired. Coun. Parfitt called for a new light to be installed at the back of Gardeners Row and Padiham Road where preparatory work on the new flats complex had begun and the area was in darkness and very dangerous. A light is also to be requested on the Holme path near the youth shelter. Bor­ ough Coun. Michael Fielding said he would contact the county councillor about the dangerous hump on the dark stretch of the path, caused by a tree root. The council will also have the light fixed on the youth shelter at the request of the police because young peo­ ple hanging around in other parts of the village say they are not using the shelter because it is unlit.


Planning An application for a timber dairy unit and slurry store at Cockshotts Farm, Wesley Street, and a bedroom extension at 7 Badger Wells


Cottages, had been approved by Ribble Valley Borough Council. Councillors had no objections to a new application for a kitchen extension at Ivy-Cottage; 135 Whalley Road.


Flats The new flats complex in Padiham Road, Sabden, should be ready by next June. The premises, the former gift shop and later picture framing business, had been empty for some time and had now been cordoned off for work to start in Jan­ uary. The new flats will be built by St Vincent’s Housing Association to provide affordable housing for villagers. PC Paul Sherratt pointed out that CCTV cameras have been installed over­ looking the site as there have been problems with youths in the area and the fencing has already


been


knocked down once and had to be put back by a neighbour. Coun. Michael Fielding said Ribble Valley Borough Council will rent out the flats and anyone interested should contact him.


Post Office Sabden should see the return of its Post Office counter ser­ vice in the New Year. Coun. Michael


-Fielding told the meeting that the vil­ lage newsagents, Richard and Ginny Capstick and their son, are Uking over the service at their Whalley Road premises, but it will be February before things are finalised. Residents were becoming concerned that the village post office, which closed last month, would not be replaced. Councillors are unhappy, however, th a t the Georgian post box at the post office is being moved to a new site near the phone box and the 'Victorian box on Watt Street has been removed. They are to ask the post office for the original boxes to be returned.
