. A report was given by Coun.Watson on a meeting in December
, between Mr Harg reaves from the serv ice station and Couns Parfitt, Proc ter and Watson, fol lowing complaints from residents in the vicinity. I t was agreed that Mr Har greaves was trying, and in their opinion,
/succeeding in con ducting his business in a proper fashion at
■ very little detriment to his neighbours. Having been asked not to park his velii-
■ cles on the school car park, he complied.
. He has endeavoured to comply regarding un-taxed vehicles. It also seems Mr Harg reaves is being held responsible by a number of villagers for every car which parks near his fore court. He himself encounters many problems with entry and exit to and from his garage due to the parking by parents who are dropping off and collecting their children from the school a t different hours of the day. He had reason to call the police on one occa sion, but no response was made. Mr Harg reaves was at this time waiting for approval to begin MOT testing, and also reinstatement of his diesel fuel pump. Coun. Watson visited Mr Hargreaves again on January 9th for a situation update and was told he had received approval for testing vehicles. His diesel pump would be operational as soon as the pump had been pressure tested. Mr Hargreaves has cleared old fencing to the rear of the fore court and a number of stockpiled old- tyres have been removed. Existing cars have been moved into this space creating much more room on the forecourt itself. PC Sherratt reported that letters go out to parents via the school on a regular basis regarding park ing issues. All were in favour of the three councillors monitoring the situa-

Youth ShGltGF A le t te r from the youth service stated that youth and com munity staff ha-ve not handed out

. youth service will do all it can to dissuade
. young people from defacing any proper ty in any of the com munities, in which
they work. Couns Procter
and
Haythornthwaite met youths a t the shelter, which has been the subject of complaints, and
. reported having a useful ■ meeting. Youths used to take responsibility for the shelter and PC Sher ratt thought the way. forward would be to encourage the youth service to take own ership. The youth worker for Sabden, Lisa Harvey, will be invited to attend the next meeting to dis cuss the various issues.
Ac c g s s Regarding access to houses a t 1 to 13 Whalley Road, it had been suggested th a t the gate was locked, preventing access. However, the owner of no.l has informed the council and the neighbours that the gate is not locked but stiff.
Planning An application had been made for a rear two-storey extension at 74 Padiham Road and for the proposed war memorial at the Fountain including the re-siting of exist- ing memorial and associated landscap ing. The planning sub-committee had met and recommend ed no objections. An update was given on other applications. Approved were plans for change of use of barn to form addi tional residential accommodation at Whittakers Farm, Back Lane, a rear extension at Lower Croft bungalow, replacing a flat roof with pitched roof at Aureol House, Pen- dle Street East, and a conservatory to the rear of 16 Stubbins Lane.
Refused were applica tions for a single storey extension - re submission a t ,14 Pendle Street West and a loft conversion with door on to flat roof and balustrad- ing to flat roof at 99 Padiham Road.

Feasibility study into reinstating of old ferry
A FEASIBILITY study to investigate reinstating a historic crossing over the River Ribble near Whalley has been commissioned by council chiefs.
Engineering design company URS Corpora tion Ltd (URS) has been enlisted to assess the possibility of reinstating Hacking Ferry, which operated from the 17th Cen- turj’until the mid-1950s. ■
The old ferry, which would have been work ing in the time of author J. R. R. Tolkien, is believed to have been the writer’s influ ence for Buckleberry Ferry in The Lord of the Rings and the site is now passed by The Tolkien Trail.
Originally, county councillors proposed to build a bridge at the site of the old ferry, but that proposal was discarded due to cost.
' .
The idea is the ferry would provide a cross ing for pedestrians over the Rivers Ribble and Calder at Hacking Hall, thereby com pleting the Ribble Way Regional Trail as an unbroken route.
This would mean a one and a half mile detour that is presently undertaken, much of which is on busy single-track roads, could be avoided. URS’ task is to under take stage one of a two-part study, assess ing the feasibility of providing the ferry and its associated infrastructure.
This first stage will look at the optimum route for the crossing as well as the design and engineering works for the construction and operation of a sustainable ferry cross ing.
It will also look at the design of the feriy and its mooring/housing as well as the overall viability, ahead of the detailed feasibility in stage two.
The results of the study will be available at the end of March.
