‘No more’ is angry residents’ message to house builders


: by Faiza Afzaal


- i ‘‘NO more’-’ is the message from wor­ ried residents on a Whalley estate who are fighting plans for a housing


; development. . A planning application has been sub-


_ -mitted to Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil by developer George Wimpey Man­ chester Ltd, for 60 homes, as well as car parking" spaces a t Calderstones Park,


4 ■ 'Whalley. ■ The plans have sparked fury -with resi­ dents who fear the scheme would not only place an extra strain on Whalley’s


:' roads and schools, but leave children -with nowhere to play.


.. -' Mother-of-two Mrs Alison Bury (42), of Ribbleton Grove, Calderstones Park, said: “The homes and car parking spaces are planned to be built on our only field where children regularly play.


"


. “Apart from taking away a recreation­ al play area, the open outlook a t the entrance to the estate -will be ruined.


■ - “The development will affect all resi­ dents of Whalley. Our schools are already over-subscribed. Class sizes are too big. ‘ “Parents are having to pay for private


• schooling as their children are being offered places a t schools in Burnley, rather than the Ribble Valley. “If plans for the homes are given the.


go-ahead, it will lead to extra traffic in the village and I don’t think the infra­ structure of Whalley can cope with all this traffic.” . -


. Similar fears were expressed by parent


Mrs Nikki Bradford, of Beech Drive, Calderstones Park. The mother of two said: “For many years, we have been promised a play area


Plans in the pipeline


A PLANNING application has been submitted to -Ribble Valley Borough Council for a proposed detached dwelling off Aldeford Close to the rear of 9 Fair- field Close, Clitheroe. Comments on the proposal (number 0862) must be made to the council by


November 7th. , Other plans submitted include: Clithcroc: Proposed change of use from


sunbed/treatment shop to two retail shops including formation of a first floor self-contained flat a t 82-86 Lowergate, (0873). Proposed internally-lluminated

projecting sign at 78 Bawdlands (0796). Proposed 10m high FLI telepgraph pole, three shrouded antennas, one IBTS streetworks cabinet and ancillary devel­ opment at corner of St Paul's. Street and Edisford Road (0874). Proposed dormer extension to front elevation at 3 Lang- dale Avenue (0881).

Bigger arid better is bonfire mgbt aim; ;


A BIGGER and brighter.fire- works display th an ever before is the promise from the local organisers of Saturday’s event. The fun takes place a t the


Castle Field, with the fire lit- a t 6-30'p.m. by two young v olunte ers , Ellie Kenyon (seven), and Xander Kenyon (four), the children of Castle Cement employees Paul and Lisa Kenyon. Castle Cement , is again sponsoring the event and P au l works as a kiln operative and Lisa is a part- ' time distribution clerk. Ellie, who will be lighting


for children who live on the estate but- that has never happened. Where are chil­ dren expected to play?” County councillor and Ribble Valley


resident Albert Atkinson said: “I am concerned about'these plans. Driving through Whalley is bad enough as it is with the terrible parking situation. If this development is given the green light, it -will lead to traffic chaos.” He added: “Lancashire County Coun­


cil -will seriously look into primary school and secondary school provision for the Whalley area. With the amount of prop­ erties that are proposed to be built, we must get the infrastructure right so that


: we can accommodate children, into a Ribble Valley school.” A petition is being circulated and a


special meeting was to be held last night a t the Aspinall Arms, Mitton, where con­ cerned residents were due to discuss their fears and fight plans for the proposed development. A spokesman for George Wimpey said:


“The purpose of the application is to pro- -vide an attractive new residential devel­ opment to enhance the local area.” Pictured is five-year-old Ewan Kidd, along with fellow protesters concerned about the proposed new housing scheme. . (A251008/1)
