There had not been a good attendance at the, display in the Methodist Church when options were available for the pub­ lic to view war memorials designs, however 68% of those who came pre­ ferred a Celtic cross. Plans will now be drawn up for a


:memorial to' be placed on the rose gardens in the centre of the viilage and after approval by the council will be sub­ mitted to RVBC.


Lines The double yellow lines on Whalley Road outside St Mary's RC Church have still not been replaced, but will be within three months, councillors were told. A letter received from resident D. Beesley was read. Councillors disagreed with his suggestion of refraining from replacing the lines as there have been some near-miss accidents as vehicles are park­ ing on the bend. On the proposal of Coun. Shorter and seconded by Coun. Haythorn- thwaite, the county council will be asked to speed up the process.


The Holme A letter had been received from Sabden Play Park Trust, along with drawings, explaining their plans for the Holme. 'These include more swings, a roundabout with wheelchair access, safety grass beneath the parallel bars and a multi unit for under fives. On the proposal of Coun. Parfitt and seconded by Coun. Haythorn- tiiwaite, all ■were in favour for councillors to meet members of the trust on site to discuss positioning of equipment and to peg the area out.


Planning An application for a single-^storey exten­ sion to form a new double garage, utility room, gymnasium, consulting room and toilet at 14 Pendle Street West had been refused by the bor­ ough council. Out­ standing applications were for a two-storey front extension and new porch at 4 Pendleside Close, a two-storey rear extension at 12 Pen­ dle Street West, a conservatory at 8 Sabden Brook Court and renewal of the application for the development of an infill plot for one four-bedroomed


attached garage at land at Brookside.


Other matters Coun. Shorter gave his playground report and said the Pendle Witch fence is again in a poor state of repair and the re­ turfing on the site where the bonfire was held has not


i taken to date. Some of the swing seats have been carved into. Coun. Procter asked.that the Holme Committee be advised once it has been agreed where the new play equip­ ment will be sited. Mrs B. Sutheran, on behalf of residents of Clitheroe Road, spoke of their con­ cerns about the now closed Sabden Ser­ vice Station where petrol tanks are still in situ. She said there are concerns over the possible build up of gases and emissions. She said bodywork repairs are being car­ ried out in the evenings and into the night, disturbing the neighbours. On the proposal of Coun., Procter, seconded by Coun. Parfitt, all were in favour of writing to RVBC regarding hours of work and to the LCC about the fuel tanks.


Mr Bob Leeson said the state of the foot­ paths on Timbrills Avenue had still not been addressed two years after he had brought the matter to the attention of the parish council. Coun. Barrington explained he had met county officials two years ago and they promised at that time to resurface the paths. On the propos­ al of Coun. Haythornthwaite and seconded, by Coun. Barrington all were in favour of writing to the LCC again.


Other items Coun. Parfitt reported the youth shelter is in a mess and that the sign for Pendleside; Close is in need of repair. Coun. Procter reported that a sur­ vey was being under­ taken on Top Row to establish suitability for a mobile phone mast.


She asked if there could be some tree planting to screen the mast on Wiswell Moor. Coun. Bar­ rington reported the sign for Badger.Wells Cottages is falling off


' the wall and expressed concerns over the concrete path across the brook to allotments at the rear of Crowtrees Road.


markings at Pendie Street East, Watt Street, Pendle. Street West, Watt Street to Whalley Road and Crowtrees Road, are all in need of re­ marking. He also reported an over­ hanging tree at Bull bridge which . is affecting site lines. Coun. Haworth reported the footpath passing by the med­ ical centre near Jubilee Bridge floods. The upright on the street name sign for Pendleside Close is rotten and the saplings at Jubilee Bridge nearthe Med­ ical Centre need lay­ ering.
