Residents’ delight road safety plans
by Faiza Afzaal
PLANS for a refuge island and an extended kerb in Bridge Road, Chat- burn, are being considered by county council officials. The move follows years of campaigning
from concerned residents about the urgent need for traffic calming measures. The scheme is also designed to improve
pedestrian safety. Chatburn resident and borough council
lor, Coun. Howard Douglas, has welcomed the news, although he feels that a mini roundabout or a speed camera would have been more appropriate. The proposals come 12 months after an
82-year-old woman died in a road acci dent. Miss Annie Bowker, of Crowtrees Gar
dens, Chatburn, died when she was in volved in an accident with a car travelling along Bridge Road towards Clitheroe. The pensioner’s d e a th prompted
.
renewed calls for a pedestrian crossing or a speed camera in a bid to prevent a fur ther tragedy Villagers had long branded the road as
a potential danger spot and had submit ted a petition with nearly 400 signatures urging the council to install a safe crossing point in the village - but to no avail. Fed-up residents have always felt that
motorists use the village as a short cut to Clitheroe from the A59 - resulting in a build-up of traffic at busy times. Earlier this year, Chatburn, Grindleton
and West Bradford parish councils joined forces and bought a Speed Indicator Device costing £4,000 in a determined bid to make drivers aware of their speed. The portable device - which shows
either a smiling or a scowling face depend ing on the speed of the driver is currently rotating between the three villages. Speaking about the latest proposals,
Coun. Douglas said: “The refuge island will make it easier for the residents to cross the road safely.
“ I am glad th a t county council has
finally taken some action, however, I feel that a mini-roundabout or a speed camera would have been more appropriate to reduce the speed of motorists. “Nothing is certain as yet and we would
like council officials to speak to residents and consult the plans with them before making their final decision.” Officials at Lancashire County Council
have stressed that no decision will be cer tain until further consultations have been involved with people concerned. A county council spokesman said: “We
are considering a refuge island and extend ed kerb for people to cross the road safely. Our highways consultancy group has been looking at the site. “No plans are concrete, however, we will
be consulting with the parish council, bor ough council and police in the near future - this was always the case. “The nature of the work should result in
some speed reduction through the vil lage.”
New-look rural library vehicle
MORE villagers in the Ribble Valley can now benefit from the mobile library thanks to its new van. The service, run by Lancashire County
Council, will now be made more accessible to everyone after the current vehicle has been equipped with wheelchair access. Also with new stock on board, driver Mr
Clive Gorst, hopes that the improved van will attract more users to the service. “Anybody who has difficulty walking
can now be helped into the library with the new access, therefore making the library accessible to more readers.” said Mr Gorst, who has been driving the serv ice around for the past ten years. The mobile library, which operates a
weekly service in Sabden on a Friday afternoon, rotates on a fortnightly cycle around the remaining villages, which include Bashall Eaves, Grindleton, Dun- sop Bridge and Barrow. Anyone with a library card is free to use
the service. Our picture shows Mr Gorst with the new library van in Sabden. (B141005/3)
