Plans for Sabden mill site to go on show for villagers


by Hannah Ramsden


SABDEN residents will get a first glimpse on Saturday of plans to transform a mill in the centre of the village into new homes. The plans, for Victoria Mill in Watt


Street, which is still used for manufac­ turing, have been submitted to Ribble Valley Borough Council’s planning department. If approved, they would involve


extending and converting the existing mill building into 21 apartments and building 27 townhouses on the site. The proposal also allows for 1,858


sqm of general industrial space. Residents can see the plans on dis­


play at St Mary’s Hall between 9-30 and 11-30 a.m. on Saturday when rep­ resentatives from applicants Marbill and the developers will be on hand to answer questions and discuss matters raised by villagers. A planning meeting of Sabden


Parish Council will be held next Tues­ day at 7 p.m. at the Methodist School­ room to discuss the plans. The chairman of Sabden Parish


Council, Coun. Tony Howarth, said that up to now opinions on the devel­ opment had been mixed. He said: “We are asking for people to come and have a chat. I t has been


said for some time that there was going to be a development and plans have just been submitted to Ribble Valley Borough Council. They will be on display on Saturday and we will be asking villagers their opinion. “I feel there’s going to be some development there, but I don’t know what people feel about it.


“I t is a big issue for the village


because slowly industry has crept out of the village and we want to retain some.” Coun. Haworth said it was very


early days, but he hoped village shops would not suffer as a result. “We have already lost Contrast from the village and that was quite a

blow, not least of all to the village' . shops.”

Classic tractors taken for ‘run out’


AROUND 25 vintage and classic tractors, including several from the Ribble Valley, gath­ ered at Broughton Hall, near Skipton, for the first ever tractor road run organised by local enthusiast Sam Chap­ man. Drivers were reward­


ed with a spectacular and varied route as they travelled from Broughton village, climbingl,200 feet onto the top of Elslack Moor and over into Lothers- dale village before heading into Lan­ cashire. Passing through


Watery Beck, Foul- ridge, they meandered on to break for lunch at the Cross Gates pub, Blacko. By mid-after­ noon several spectators on the towpath of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal enjoyed the sights and sounds of some rare tractors.
