, RESIDENTS in Whalley have formed an action group called “Save Whalley Village” to resist plans for large scale housing devel­ opments in their village. The group was set up around a


; month ago in response to plans by Co­ op Estates to build 80 houses off Rid­ dings Lane in Whalley.


• “It quickly became apparent that the


borough council’s draft plan for the borough, the Core Strategy, outlined


. a future in which Whalley would be turned into a town by the construction of up to 450 houses in the near future,”

DISCUSSIONS: Mr Evans (right) with Whalley councillors Joyce Holgate and Terry Hill.


^


THE development of more houses in Whalley has been branded “a disaster” by Ribble Valley MP Ni- gel Evans.


. He recently met with borough


councillors Terry Hill and Joyce Holgate in order, to discuss the re­ cent planning applications and core strategy for housing in Whalley and the wider Ribble Valleyi After the meeting Mr Evans said:


“I am completely opposed to the scale of housing applications across the Ribble Valley and particularly inWhallcy. “I .believe that the fundamental


make-up of the Ribble Valley is be­ ing altered without due regard for the wishes of the residents. I will be


. making representations to the Core ■ Strategy and I completely support the people of the Ribble Valley in their opposition to this level of


. housing. The character of Whalley has been built up oyer generations and I am totally opposed to any housing applications that alters the character of the village.


- “It is my view that the application for 80 houses currently submitted and the possibility'of a further ap-


, plication for 350 houses would be . nothing short of a disaster for the preservation of the village of Whal­ ley. I want to leave people in doubt whatsoever that 1 will campaign vigorously against them.” 0 See Letter’s page 14 .

Too drunk to recall offence


A TEENAGER who travelled to Clit­ heroe to watch a football match was so drunk he couldn’t remember causing £200 worth of damage to a car.


University student Keiron Beaver told •


Blackburn magistrates he had drunk a litre bottle of vodka and “some pints” during his afternoon out to watch Bafn-


ber Bridge play at Clitheroe.- “That’s why 1 can’t remember what happened,” said Beaver (19), who is studying for a sports science degree. ' - Beaver, of Meanygate, Barhber Bridge,


pleaded guilty to criminal damage. He was fined £50 with £100 costs and ordered to pay £235 in compensation.
