Councillors re-iterated their previous views on a planning appli­ cation for seven detached dwellings each with associated work units at Cherry Drive, Brockhall Vil­ lage. These are that the dwellings are in fact just large houses, with limited employ­ ment value. There is a lack of community facilities near this development and councillors would like to see some provided.


The clerk has been approached by sever­ al residents regarding the provision of allot­ ments.

Police


PC Sherratt reported “ no crime in Sabden over the past couple of months but reminded everyone to be vigilant and asked for people to tele­ phone the police immediately they have concerns and not to wait. Coun. Parfitt re-iterated this point, asking peo­ ple to ring the police rather than waiting to tell a councillor.


Public concerns The meeting was adjourned for the public to speak. Points raised included rubbish not being col­ lected from rear of Padiham Road, a query about the length of time RVBC take to collect large items


and


the public agenda print being too small to read. Communica­ tion between village organisations was raised and it was to go on October’s agen­ da.


The Holme


The Calendar Girls made up of WI mem­ bers sang “We are the WI2 complete with dressing gowns and a suggestion of strip­ ping. Dee Bottoms tried to persuade Starlight Agency boss Clive Bennett that she would make a wonderful pole dancer! Bill Heming­ way and Barry Stubbs “Whispering Grass”, Ann Good­ way an Cynthia Curter’s monologues all contibuted to the evening. The murder sketch was hilarious and the evening ended with “The Old


Seekers”.


Concerns were expressed from sever­ al members of the public who were unhappy at not being consulted before the


■ new zipline on the lower Holme was erected. They felt the structure was out of keeping with the area, the position of cable- way inappropriate, the size of the cable- way also caused some concerns as did dis­ turbance by noise from young people on the recreation ground late at night.


Casino night You can pay on the door at tonight’s Fun Casino in St Mary’s Hall. Admission is £10, which includes pie and peas supper and £1,000 of “funny money” to play the tables. There is a bar and at the end of the evening an auction of goods with the “money” accrued during the evening. It begins at 7-30 p.m. All.the proceeds will


; go to the parish hall redevelopment fund.


Council The September meet­ in g of Sabden Parish Council was chaired by Couni Tony


. Haworth and attend­ ed by Couns Kath Marks, Bernard Parfitt, Marion Proc­ ter, John Shorter, PC


. Paul Sherratt and 13 : members of the pub- : lie. Apologies were ' received from Coun. Jean Haythornth-


Some members of the public, however, applauded the work of the Play Park Trust and supported all that was happen­ ing on the recreation ground, pointing out the new zipline cable- way was extremely popular and it is in constant use.


The public were told that the structure is to be painted dark green and future pro­ posals will be dis­ cussed with the Play Park Trust who will then advise residents.


Bonfire The council granted permission to the Holme Committee to hold the village bon­ fire and firework dis­ play on the Holme and the annual switching on of the crib and Christmas tree lights. The parish council will meet members of the Holme Committee to discuss the exact site for the bonfire.


Permission for the bon­ fire is granted provid­ ed the parish council sees the Certificate of Insurance taken out by the Holme Com­ mittee for the event.


The parish council also expects the ground to be re-turfed at the earliest oppor­ tunity. Coun. Shorter asked that his objec­ tions to the bonfire and fireworks be recorded.


Log seat


Consideration was given to the provision of a log seat on the Lower Holme next to Sabden Brook. It was resolved that a flat seat would be appro­ priate so people can face either way. Costs will be brought to next meeting. Consid­ eration was also given to a request for a street light along the footpath to the rear of Cobden Mill, Ribble Valley Council and LCC will be contact­ ed.


Playground


Some vandalism had been caused on the zipline. The Play Park Trust is aware of it. The Play Park Trust is suggesting more litter bins are needed on the Holme and members of the trust are proposing to lay rubber matting beneath the springies.


Workshop The chairman, Coun. Haworth, is hoping to attend a chairman­ ship workshop in November


Report The chairman reported on the meeting of the parish council liaison committee and men­ tioned PC microsites. He gave contact details for further information.


Grass The grass at Chestnut Green is cut twice yearly by RVBC. Information will be circulated on the Strengthening Rural Communities Grant Programme.
