“A joyous celebration of a life lived for Christ” is how the funeral of Mr Jeff Jones was described and people of Knowle Green were joined by those who had travelled from throughout
the
country to celebrate his life. Mr Jones’s favourite joyous hymns of praise were sung, “Guide me, 0 Thou great Jeho vah”, “And can it be”, “Forever with the Lord” and “When the trumpet of the Lord shall
sound”. Mr Chris Okpoti and Mr David Isaacs gave
prayers and readings while the service was led by the Rev. Clif-
ford Chesworth who was present at Mr Jones’s Induction service in Knowle Green 29 years ago and who encouraged him to become a local preacher. His daughter Caroline spoke passionately about her father and the faith that he so fervently preached and believed - no one could have failed to have been moved by her address.

ing part. It will be fol lowed by a harvest lunch in the hall for which tickets are £6 for adults and £3 for children, available from the churchwar dens, Kevin Barring ton and Bernard Parfitt.
Leaving Head teacher of St Mary’s RC School, Sabden, Mrs Tina Bradley, is leaving at Christmas to take-up a new post as head of St Mary Magdalene’s RC in Burnley. The school is now in the process of looking for a successor to take over in January.
St Mary’s The last two £20 bonus ball winners at St Mary’s RC Church have been Moira Walker and Dee Bot toms. The church is planning a parish lunch on Sunday, October 16th. There will be a three-course hot lunch and people can take their own drinks if required. Tickets are £6 and available from Mrs Betty Clarkson. Singer and guitarist Steve Robinson played at the 6 p.m. Mass on Saturday night.
Car park A very packed and live ly public meeting last week failed to decide on the future use of Sabden’s village car park. About 60 vil lagers attended, the majority from the Padiham Road area, who were against plans to introduce a pay and display sys tem because there are double yellow lines outside their homes and they say they have nowhere else to park.
However, Sabden Parish Council is so concerned about the abuse of the car park by other villagers who leave untaxed cars there, use it to run a business selling cars and often block access to the bottle banks, that they have supported plans by Ribble Valley Bor ough Council to take over management responsibility for it - which will involve introducing pay and display. Before the scheme proceeds.
however, they called the meeting to get the views of villagers.
Mr Graham Jagger, Street Scene Manag er for the borough council which spent £30,000 on improv ing the car park in the late 1990s, said no decision had been made about how the system would operate if it was decided to go ahead. If villagers had a compelling argument why pay and display should not be introduced, it need not happen, he said.
He will now get more details about times and costs and attend another meeting when villagers can decide if they want to proceed with pay and display or keep the car park as it is.
Vice-chairman of the parish council, Coun. Bernard Parfitt, chaired the meeting in the absence of the Coun.
Tony
Haworth, who had been taken ill, and said the parish coun cil had decided to do something about the state of the car park for the good of the village. Councillors were very concerned about a minority of villagers misusing it and not leaving enough space for gen uine people wanting to park there. He called on people to put themselves for ward and work for the village by joining the parish council, or speak to their neigh bours who were mis using the car park, rather than criticising the parish council for acting in what they thought were their best interests.
Theatre group There will be a per formance of “Village Voices” by the Mikron Theatre Company in St Nicholas’s Hall, Sab den, on October 8th, a t 7 p.m. Entry on the door is £4 for adults and £2 for children over seven. I t includes refresh ments, but take your oWn drinks.
Council The September meet ing of Sabden Parish Council was chaired by Coun. Tony
Haworth and attend ed by Couns. Bernard Parfitt, Kevin Bar rington, John Short er, Anita Whalley and Marion Procter.
Two residents of Clitheroe Road attended to voice their concerns about work which they say is being carried out at Sabden Service Sta tion well into the night. The former garage is being used as a workshop and the residents said it is causing a distur bance. They also claimed that vehicles are being parked oh the school car park and untaxed vehicles are being left on Clitheroe Road. The owner of the service station attended and said that all regula tions involved with the business are being complied with. The police and Ribble Valley Borough Council have been informed of the com plaints and the coun cil has distributed sheets to nearby resi dents to monitor any noise or disturbance.
Work on the village play area has stopped because there are planning concerns over the placing of new equipment, it was reported at the meeting. Coun. Haworth said that some people had complained about the new equipment, say ing they were con cerned about the sit ing of it and that it was too colourful.
The Ribble Valley Council has stopped all work as there is an issue with planning legislation, said Coun. Haworth. The clerk Mrs Angela Whitwell said they took advice before work began and were told planning permis sion was not required, but had now been told that because foundations had been put in it was a devel opment and planning permission was required. Sabden Parish Council is to provide a new bench at the bottom of Watt Street with two benches on River Walk replaced. The council is hoping to secure a Green Part nership grant for

these. Councillors have been asked to consider any village projects to put for ward for a grant from the Forest of Bow- land Sustainable Development Fund, which has from £1,000 to up to £25,000 available for suitable schemes.
Councillors had no objections to submit ted plans for a back bedroom extension and front porch at 109 Padiham Road or a conservatory at 5 Sabden Brook Court. Applications for a rear extension and front porch at 53 Whalley Road and a dormer bedroom at 8 Padiham Road had been withdra\vn. Rib ble Valley Council had refused an appli cation for a two- storey rear extension at 12 Pendle Street West and approved the renewal of an application for a dwelling on land at Brookside.
The county council had still not cut back branches obscuring Padiham Road near Bull Bridge.
Traffic problems at the end of St Nicholas’s Avenue might be relieved if a double yellow line was placed for one car length, members were told. Coun. Bernard Parfitt said, however, that this had already been agreed by the county council in the past. It had promised to do the work before the end of March 2002!
The danger to pedestri ans on the stretch of Padiham Road around Bull Bridge was again highlight ed. The council is to lobby the county council to do some thing about it, possi bly introduce single file traffic over the bridge, because the amount of speeding traffic through Sab den seems to be increasing. Village policeman Paul Sher- ra t t said the police were aware of the problem and speeders through Sabden were given tickets on a reg ular basis. He also pointed out that pedestrians should not walk over the bridge on the side that has no footpath and if Padiham Road did not have double yellow lines, then parked cars would make natural obsta cles and slow down
traffic. There was no action forthcoming from the county council to paint the railings at the Padi ham and Whalley ends of the village so
the parish council is looking at getting a grant to have the
work done itself. • More News From the Villages,
