A couple of residents from across the road spoke of their sup port for the business provided the working hours are reasonable. They suggested 8 p.m. as a limit. Mr Hargreaves assured residents he would not carry out any noisy work after this time. He did, howev er, say he may contin ue working after 8 p.m. but within the garage and with the doors closed. Two residents complained of vehicles constantly parked on the high way and opposite driveways. Mr Harg reaves asked for toler ance and co-opera tion as he had already said that most of the vehicles will have been removed by the end of October. The parish council meeting was recon vened and councillors
Rural housing
RVBC's Rebecca Lawlor spoke to the meeting about the Rural Housing Enabler Scheme which works with communities and parish councils to increase both the pro vision and choice of affordable homes available to local peo ple. It works in partner ship to assess the need for local afford able homes through a detailed housing needs survey and where a need is shown acts as an independent broker to help overcome the obstacles which may hinder the provision of affordable housing. To that end a hous ing needs survey will be conducted in Sab den before Christmas and it is hoped by the end of January that the report of the sur vey will be presented to the parish council. Rebecca Lawlor pointed out that the survey will be con ducted by RVBC and will be totally confi dential. The parish council is not involved in conduct ing the survey. On proposal of Coun. Barrington and sec onded by Coun. Shorter, all were in favour of a housing needs survey in Sab den.

Haworth, felt a short village trail along Sabden Brook and the football field would be a sustain able project for Sab den. Couns Haworth and Watson will liaise.
Holme play area Despite having been previously informed that planning per mission was required to carry out works on the play area the parish council has now been told by the borough council that planning permission is not required so work on the new play equipment will re commence.

This will do away with bottle banks. A questionnaire re. the preferences of resi dents concerning pro vision of wheeled bins and boxes for recyclable waste has been sent to some households in the borough. Councillors will ask Mr McGeorge to attend a public meet ing in Sabden to dis cuss these proposals further. A date and time is to be arranged.
Ribble Valley waste will be transported elsewhere. It is pro posed that within the next two to three years there will be kerbside collections of pre-sorted refuse.
Play area The annual RoSPA inspection of the playground had been carried out and the report was read. It said fencing around the Pendle Witch car park needed repair ing, age signs for users of the park were recommended, paintwork on the seats was in poor con dition, the s^ety sur face on the swings should be monitored, no remedial mainte nance work was required on the slide, the safety surface beneath the rocking rocket needs re-glu- Ing and algae needs to be cleaned off, the parallel bars are OK, the cantilever swing needs monitoring for decay, the safety sur face needs re-gluing and gaps need filling, worn areas of the ground at the adven ture trail need mak ing good. The round about fails to meet requirements and as a consequence coun
cillors agreed to its removal as soon as possible. A round about suitable for the disabled will replace this in due course.
Other matters A member of the pub lic commented on the amount of litter on the play area and asked if there could be an initiative to encourage children to pick up litter. Coun. Procter asked for a letter to be sent to Terry Cattermole thanking him for the seats. She asked about the painting of the white railings and was told quotations are still awaited. Coun. Barrington asked if the road markings at the top of Wesley Street can be renewed. Coun. Shorter reported overhanging branches
Jubilee bridge to Contrast bridge and the litter bin at the youth shelter has been damaged. Coun. Watson reported dog litter on the road from Stub- bins to Dean Farm. She suggested pro viding small dog lit ter bags for a period of time. The culvert behind houses on Wesley Street is still of concern to resi dents and the Holme committee is con cerned about the area designated for the bonfire. Coun.
