with the weather and the whole area below, the Castle Keep was buzzing all day with the re-enact ments, which really brought the whole place to life,” she recalled. “We’re now hoping to make it an annual event and maybe stage it over a
• whole weekend next year.” As well as the market.

GOLDEN celebrations marked the 50th anniversary of Billington and Langho WI. More than 260 WI members
from 29 institutes across Lan cashire joined in the festivities at the Mytton Fold Hotel in Lang-; ho.
Events got underway with
afternoon tea and coffee and the chance to browse round a variety of stalls selling cheese, greetings cards, books and jewellery. In keeping with the theme all the prizes for the tombola - which- was raising money for Associated Country Women of the World - were wrapped in gold paper. A celebratory dinner followed
with grace said by one of the Val ley Institute’s founder members Mrs Arm Foster. She recalled the branch’s first meeting in 1959 which had been presided over by local author Jessica Lofthouse.
' Guests including Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun Beverley Jones,
'Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans
'.‘and LFWI Chairman Mrs Sally Roberts were welcomed by presi dent Mrs Lilian Hargreaves. She also welcomed Mrs Foster and her, fellow founder member Mrs Nora Ashcroft, as well as guest speaker Mr Peter Taylor, of the British Olympic Cycling team.
' ■7 , During the evening a 50-year
' Certificate was presented to Billington and Langho WI by Mrs Roberts, who also presented _ 50-year membership certificates to the branch's two founder mem bers and proposed a to a s t to Billington and Langho WI. . A WI President’s brooch and
an arrangement of gold roses were presented to Mrs Hargreaves by
-members of the Billington and Langho institute. The gold theme continued as
the speaker, Mr Peter Taylor, of Langho, told how his early interest in cycling had led to him becoming one of the main organ
isers of the Olympic gold medal winning British Cycling Team. He showed a pair of handlebars used by Chris Hoy which cost £15,000 and a bicycle wheel worth £20,000. Mr Taylor had also taken along an Olympic gold medal. The audience watched ■videos of medal winning perform ances a t the Athens and Beijing games and were given an insight into how the British cycling team operates. Mr Taylor was thanked by Mrs Barbara Charlson for his extremely interesting talk. The evening’s entertainment
ended with a flag waving ‘last night of the proms’ style sing- along accompanied by pianist Mr Richard Greaves. Our photograph shows mem
bers of Billington and Langho WI a t the 50th anniversary dinner. (A110809/2a) ■ FOR more photographs from this event see next month's edition of The Valley. ■
Residents say no to ‘affordable homes’
; A PACKED public meeting in : Sabden gave a resounding thumbs . down to plans for more “afford- !. able homes” in the ■village. ' Only one resident spoke in
: favour of the proposals to build 12 two and three-bedroom houses on
' land off Whalley Road, close to < the Marbill factory. ; Others who packed St Mary’s ■ Community Hall condemned : them saying Sabden was being . ruined by over-development and 1 becoming more like a town than a ■ rural village.
:: They objected on access, traffic
■ and environmental grounds and pointed out that applications for housing had been turned down on ■ numerous pre'vious occasions for
• planning reasons because the site was not suitable.
- - ' And they reacted angrily on ■
V being told th a t the details had, ' already been approved by Lan- ,
■ cashire County Council’s high-.: ways department.
. , ' '
- & Residents said i t , appeared there was one rule for private.
' individuals and one
for.the coun- -: :cil and housing associations, a s .
'th i s application from housing-' : associatio'ii Vicinity Housing . Group Ltd appeared to be being
‘ pushed through whatever their^ ! feelings. One resident accused the applicants of “a lack of openness and honesty”.
, , ^ - ,
Just opened on Ribbtedale ‘
' Gisburn '
"'•.•''There were shouts and jeers j - from the more than 100 strong ■
■ gathering when-they were told. i, 1
- mated that any. access problems could be ironed out - which was; completely contrary to previous ■'•applications for this site.
"'■ that county highways had inti- ■
■.' The application is on behalf o f .
Ribble Valley Homes, the social housing company that now looks after the borough’s housing stock and is part of the Vicinity Group. In March last year all Ribble Val ley’s public housing stock was transferred to Ribble 'Valley Homes who are now rolling out a programme of building affordable
■
homes all over the borough. ■ Their managing director Chris-'
tine Grimshaw told the meeting th a t a housing needs survey of Sabden in 2006 had identified the need for more affordable housing, ■ and even with this development- and the ones already in progress in the village there was still a shortfall of 19.
Sabden But residents replied that Sab
den already has plans for. enough affordable homes, with some ear marked for the Marbill site where, a planning application for a mixed. housing development of 42 prop- . erties has already been approved and is only on hold due to the eco-; nomic situation. •■ Villagers suggested that Ribble ;
. Valley Homes buy some of that ., land and put more affordable homes there where planning perr mission has already been granted. ■ Another development is also underway ,to. b u ild s ix . on ,
' Clitheroe Road and there are plans for two more next to Mount, Pleasant. Residents said,Sabden.was being ruined and enough was
^ enough. ’ , '•" They said the traffic and en'vi-, ' ronment problems^the develop-'
ment would cause would be enor mous, and the site had some of the best ■wildlife habitat in Sabden which would be lost for ever. “This green and pleasant land
will become a concrete jungle,” said Mr Frank Goss, who had pointed out the number of rare birds that nest there. The officials from Vicinity and
Ribble Valley Homes who attend ed said all the proposed houses would be available for affordable rents; around £75 weekly, and Sabden people and their families, or people with ■village connections would have first priority to rent them. If there was not enough demand they would be opened up to the whole borough.. The meeting had been called by
Sabden Parish Council to get the views of villagers but there was criticism th a t no officers from Ribble Valley Council had attend ed to answer their questions. ■ ■ One resident said: “All the prob
lems th a t were there when the pre-vious applications were turned down are still thera I t ’s ridiculous that the people who will be mak ing the decision are not here to lis ten to us. We are being ignored.’’'"
■ RIBBLE Valley residents can learn about the choices available to them through the NHS next Tuesday. 'A “Patient Choice” roadshow will
be staged at Booths supermarket car park, Station Road, Clitheroe, on September 1st. There will also be free blood pressure checks, the chance to talk to a pharmacist about health matters, free advice and help from local patient and advice liaison offi cers, free demonstrations of the NHS Choice website and a free cotton shopping bag.
