Council Sabden Parish Coun cil's September meeting was held in St Nicholas's Insti tute and attended by Couns. Antony Haworth (chair man), John Shorter, Bernard Parfitt, Mike Hodds, Mari on Procter, borough councillor Michael Fielding, the clerk Mrs Angela Whitwell, p e s o Matt Thornton and five members of the public.
The council co-opted a new member, Michael Calvert, of Padiham Road, to fill one of two vacancies. Mr Calvert said he had lived in the village for about six years and was an ex- teacher/lecturer who now works with young people who could be getting involved in crime, working with their parents and fami lies. He had been attending meetings for the past year to see the work under taken by the council and felt he had skills and experience which he could bring to bear with the council. He was proposed by Coun. Parfitt, seconded by Coun. Procter and unanimously voted onto the council. Anyone interested in the other vacancy should contact the
clerk on 01282 779376.
Plans to install a foot path on one side of Bull Bridge have been put back because of concerns from residents. The long-awaited work was due to begin in July after getting the go-ahead from the Lancashire Local Ribble Valley Committee, but fol lowing
the
announcement resi dents contacted the LCC, some saying the footpath was planned for the wrong side of the bridge and others wanting a footpath on both sides. Due to these concerns the LCC has put the scheme back for fur ther consideration.
A resident who attended said she was very disap pointed as the bridge is very dan gerous for pedestri ans and councillors agreed.
A resident raised a concern about the amount of litter in the ■village, particu larly on the park, and councillors agreed saying that parents should be leading by example to their children. Coun. Fielding reported that a RVBC official was due to go round all local schools educat ing the pupils about litter and recycling. Borough Coun. Field ing said the dog warden had been taking action against owners who allowed their dogs to foul the park and footpaths. He had been out early morning
and
warned a number of offenders. People should ring the dog warden immediate ly they see anyone allowing a dog to foul public areas, said Coun. Fielding. The chairman said there were nine dog bins around the vil lage so there was no excuse for this prob lem. It was pointed out, however, that there is no bin on Padiham Road above the Bull Bridge. Coun. Field ing said he would ask Ribble Valley Council to provide another hin if a suit able site for it could be found.
There are to be no funfair or food stalls on Pendle Hill on Hallowe'en again this year, it was reported. Coun. Fielding told parish councillors that last year's restriction on fairground rides and stalls had meant a
■ much quieter night with no trouble, so a similar ban would be imposed this year.
The monthly accounts for pay ment were approved by councillors and were £228 for the work of the lengths- men, £62.50 to Rib ble 'Valley Council for printing, £50 to RVBC for rent of the bowling green and £45 to St Nicholas's Hall for hire of the hall for meetings.
The parish council had sent extensive objections to plans for 12 affordable homes on land off ■Whalley Road opposite the Whins. There were no objections to an application by Pen dle Scaffolding Ltd for a heavy goods operators licence for two vehicles at Vic toria Mill, after being assured that the vehicles would be kept inside the mill premises and not left on the street.
Councillors are to study the goal areas at the Sabden FC pitch and any other local sports fields, before they make any decision on improving the goals and goal mouths on the Lower Holme pitch.
They are also to get estimates for the cost of draining the pitch. It was sug gested that they might be able to get grant funding for drainage to be tied in with landscaping of the adjacent car park. The hedge next to the youth shelter had been broken down. The lengthsman would be asked to re-lay it in the winter. 'The next parish council meeting is on Tues day, October 6th.
Police Community Support Officer Matt Thornton reported there had been three reported crimes in August, theft of a bicycle on August 23rd from a front garden in Wes ley Street, theft of an aluminium gate from the cattle grid on Clitheroe Road on August 1st and a bicycle from a gar den at Lamb Row on the eighth. He said they were opportunist thefts and so far undetect ed. He said there were no problems with anti-social behaviour. A report from a resident about youths camp ing near Lamb Row had turned out to be a couple camping for the night, there was no alcohol, they left the following day and no prob lems were experi enced. The only other issue was a young man from the Padiham Road area

Concerns were raised gabden Football Club by councillors about jg holding a day of the car boot sales in a field near the white railings on Whalley Road. He said the organisers had permission to hold 14 sales a year and had a traffic management sys tem in place which was very good. A councillor men tioned, however, that a nearby road had been closed when the most recent sale had taken place. PCSO Thornton did not think this was part of the traffic scheme and would look into it.
